He Len and Bob--great to hear you guys again on the weekend telecasts. One comment by Bob caught my attention. On Sat. Bob said that Felix Pie made a "loopy" throw to the infield and that Cubs coaches are trying to get him to hit a cutoff man. My goodness!!! Isn't this a sad commmentary on the horrible state of the Cubs minor league system. I believe Pie is 25 years old, and by now he must have made hundreds and hundreds of throw s from the outfield. Either his baseball IQ is terrible, or his minor league coaches are incompetent. High school players know how to hit the cutoff man. Anyway, I have been a Cubs fan for 62 years, and sadly I am convinced I will not live long enough to see a World Series, let alone a World Series championship. I hope the new ownership will start with the basics----scouting and minor league excellence. A good role model would be the Atlanta Braves. I live in a Braves minor league city, and it is a pleasure to watch the Baby Braves--Furcal, LaRoche, Francoure, etc.
