Marquis was bypassed in the rotation on Friday because of a strep throat. His only 2008 appearance was last Saturday, when he pitched 5 1/3 very bumpy innings against the Astros (8 hits, a walk and 4 ER). He's 4-3, 4.64 lifetime against the Phils and beat them last year in his only start against Philly since joining the Cubs.

Moyer pitched for Lou Piniella's Seattle teams and went 98-48 between 1996 and 2002. He actually had two stints with the Cubs. After they released him in the spring of '92, the Cubs were kind enough to offer him a coaching job within the organization.

He has gone on to win 197 Major League games since then.

The story Saturday night was Ted Lilly's continued terribleness and the ineptitude of the Cub offense, which, since the first inning Friday night, has accounted for just two runs and seven hits in 17 innings. It's true that the Cubs have gone up against two very good pitchers, but the Cubs also were throwing their supposed #1 and #2 guys, and the Phillies--even without NL MVP Jimmy Rollins--have had no trouble putting runs on the board.

If the Cubs can bag this win, they will end their Pennsylvania road trip 4-2, and if it's all the same to you, I am going to pretend they took two of three from both the bad Pirates and the good Phillies.

I mean I doubt he will be a solid hitter in the bigs, but we will never know if we dont play him. I wonder when the Cubs will sign K-loft? My guess is on 4/27.

I'm all for playing him. I'll say it again. But, if I'm going to play him, I'm only playing him against right-handed pitching. That isn't today. His career OPS against left is .269 in a small-ish sample.

Glad to see those four at bats (and missed played fly ball into a double) help Ward with his pitch hit at bat. K on ball four The good news is he didn't ground out to the right side of the infield for the 5th time in a row.

"Glad to see those four at bats (and missed played fly ball into a double) help Ward with his pitch hit at bat. K on ball four The good news is he didn't ground out to the right side of the infield for the 5th time in a row." I'm trying to understand why I find a comment like the above so irritating. I think it's for a couple of reasons. First, I strongly suspect that if Ward had come through with a hit, we wouldn't have heard a peep out of Mr. Shot about how Ward's playing time on Friday may have helped him hit today. Which would be both cowardly and dishonest. Second, using a single instance (the ultimate small sample size) and hindsight to condemn a manager's arguably reasonable decision at the time it was made reminds me of the kind of opportunistic arguing that my 13 year old often does. It's not done to bring out a valid point worthy of consideration by others. It's only done for the sake of claiming that you "won" the argument. Of course, it may be possible that Mr. Shot would have graciously offered his congratulations to LouPa for his excellent foresight if Ward had come up with a base hit in the 8th inning today. I'm just not going to be holding my breath.

So a construction worker, Red Sox fan working on the new Yankee's stadium attempts to curse the new stadium by burying a Red Sox jersey underneath it, and the construction crew goes back with jackhammers and digs it up? Are you f*ing serious? This looking fucking ridiculous to someone like me who isn't one single bit superstitious.

    White Sox DFA Bailey Horn. I'm thinking the Cubs would love to get him back although they probably won't have a decent chance of claiming him without another swap.

    WSox also call up former Cub Rafael Ortega (and additionally Tommy Pham). They are hurting and having a gawd awful April.

    White Sox DFA'd Bailey Horn.

    He wasn't producing good results in Charlotte (AAA).

    But Jed might bring him back with that open 40man spot. Then try the "sneak him thru waivers" gambit.

    Oh my, now I will have nightmares of me sitting in the bowels of the Wrigley security detention cell.

    One more thing...

    One of the reasons I come to this site...

     ...in addition to Arizona Phil, who is, as we all know, a treasure trove of well-written fresh information, honest evaluation, and sneaky-subtle humor regarding the entire Cub organization...

    ... is CubbyBlue and Tim's fantastic and timely visual takes on the Cubs (to be fair, he does have a much broader Chicago-flavored brush well beyond the Cubs).  Thanks for so many memorable images.  I am fortunate to own (one of my prize possessions) a print that I framed (55/200) of "The Last Out" with KB's shit-eating grin as he fields the series winning out of the 2016 WS.

    Tim, will you visit me if I do the text security thingy and description: Tim S? Or will I find myself in a Cub detention cell.

    i.e. "or send a text message to 773-839-**** with the keyword "Friendly" and include your seat location and a description of your issue.

    Incredible moment. Huge part of the fun of working there is when something magic like that happens, and you get to interact with baseball fans. 

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    That bear hug was indeed awesome. Word is that Dansby has become an outstanding clubhouse leader and that moment really demonstrated it. That reaction was one of a proud coach/mentor who’s student just excelled. I’m not even sure who was more overjoyed, Dansby or PCA. A veteran expressing that kind of unabashed support and enthusiasm for a struggling rookie is beyond fantastic to see.

    BAHAHA! I've actually not seen a single fight, but can't wait to see 70 degrees for sure!

  • crunch (view)

    next time i roll up into wrigley i'll try to start a fist fight and maybe we'll meet.

    be prepared.  i'm gonna make you earn your money.

    seriously, though...that's a cool as hell "retirement" assignment.  i imagine it will be better with warmer nights.

    I was there for the PCA homer as well. 50 degree baseball is no longer fun when sitting in the shade (knit hats, scarves and gloves are football gear) but I agree it’s one of those really cool moments. I loved the bear hug given by Swanson at home plate and of course the added impact that the PCA homer became a game winner.
