I just wish I knew which way they were going

Even though many people have urged patience, not to expect anything this week, I am genuinely disappointed that the Cubs have not done anything so far to improve the club. Of course, neither has anyone else, so it isn't like we have watched moves happen helplessly. Nobody is moving so far.

I had thought I heard that the bullpen, once again, was going to be the priority, and if they decided to sign a few guys for the pen, then that would mean the offense would be the frustrating non-entity it was for most of this year.

There are so many rumors...A-Rod. I-Rod. Vidro. Vlad. Aurilia. Sexson. AJ Asswipe from the Twins. Losing Cruz, Zambrano, Farnsworth, AGonz, nearly everyone except Sosa and Prior.

There need to be several moves, and they must be aligned with one another. There is a path if Pudge is picked up. A second if Vlad is picked up. A third if we stay with people like Grud, which would essentially be doing nothing. I wish we knew...
