finally...a cubs game without the SF announce crew. they're not horrible, but i'm a bit sick of them. stupid EI on time-warner giving me 1 stupid feed...go WGN...go limp dicks, herpies, children i have a attitude about because their parents have issues, and garden claw gold!

im all for fuku batting 2nd, but reed johnson leading off? -edit- len/bob talking about how fuku is given 2nd to "get used to hitting 2nd"...bob thinks its his best spot, so does a lotta the rest of baseball. good to see the adjustment.

bleh...Z not looking so hot in the 1st. high 80s fastballs, sketchy control over the breaking stuff...hope its just "working itself out". -edit- edmonds with a big standing-O by cards fans...another classy showing by cards fans (not sarcasm). -edit- okay...now paul sulivan is in the booth saying someone's gun is off...on Z's fastest pitch so far (91mph) the stadium gun said 97mph. so uh...yeah...something might be amiss somewhere so take the top note with a heaping helping of salt grains.

LaRussa's a good manager, but also quite a douchebag. All Edmonds was saying is that now that he's with another team, call him a Cub. But Mr. PETA gets all hissy about it? His doucheness is also exemplified by his reasons for always wearing dark glasses during night games - you know, so the opposing manager can't read his facial expressions. What?

Brewers seem to be going hard after Sabathia and it looks like a very good offer. Via Rotoworld... Tom Haudricourt believes the third player may be Lorenzo Cain, a lesser outfield prospect. If acquired, LaPorta would likely be a candidate to join the Indians in August. Green would be another potential third baseman of the future to go along with Andy Marte, Wes Hodges and Beau Mills. He has a chance to make it as a starter, but Hodges is the better bet. Mills is going to end up as a first baseman or DH. For what it's worth, Brewers GM Doug Melvin added that he doesn't expect anything to happen in the next couple of days. "Cleveland is in control of this, not us," he said. "They told us they're talking to other clubs, too. You never know how these things are going to work out."

That game/schedule widget on the right hasn't updated for me since June 30th. I'm wondering if hasn't for everybody else.

Didn't notice before right now, but yea, it isn't updated for me either.

yeah, I have no control over it. I noticed it did the same thing about a month ago. The owners of it probably took the weekend off.

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    You have to C it! (tm)

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks

    suzuki 10d IL.

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    Seiya on IL with an oblique strain

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...
