The scars from last year haven't healed and now we have an 8-8 team, with blah performances from most everybody, except maybe Sori and the low-impact Riot. Woody's replacement has been terrible, and Bradley seems destined to become Jacques Jones Jr. I like Demp a lot, and am happy he got a big contract, but last year was likely the best we will see from him. Not feelin' the karma with this team. Cubbie blues.

I guess it's just the nature of Cubs fans to be freaking out over 8-8 starts. There's probably 50 teams that started like that or worse that won the world series. Take a deep breath.

worst parachat recap ever...it's a good thing you're heading to Dallas Trans. Seriously though, best parachat outing ever in my handful of years 'round TCR. Thanks "gentlemen"

Milton Bradley's confidant gives us this Ramblin' Rose (Milton likes Nat King Cole) report: Carlos Marmol apparently strained a muscle on the inside of his left knee when he tried to field Albert Pujols' line drive single in the eighth inning, and Aramis Ramirez strained his left calf when he hit a double in the second. Both will be re-examined on Saturday, and the Cubs will have a better idea as to how much time they could miss. Marmol scoffed at the idea of going on the DL; Ramirez said his leg was sore. http://muskat.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/04/injury_update.html

Ugh, this team was playing lackluster at best, these injuries to key people will not help that. If ARam and Marmol or on DL any serious length of time, we just brought everyone back into the division. This team is just not good enough to be hurt, playing blah and guarantee to make the playoffs.

Wittenmyer/Sun-Times speculates that Bradley will go to the DL with Bobby Scales getting called up from Iowa (or possibly Andres Blanco). http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/1543753,CST-SPT-cub25.arti… Ramirez and Marmol were to be examined again today. ''We'll see how it is [today], but right now it doesn't feel too good,'' said Ramirez, who hurt the calf in the second inning looking to advance to third after he doubled. He stayed in the game for three more innings. ''I feel OK, but we'll see,'' said Marmol, who said he didn't think he would require a DL stretch.

Wittenmyer has a 2nd article on Bradley. MB says he's about 65% of normal and worsened his groin strain from the Wed night game vs Reds on the Lilly error/throw past first base. Let's face it...it's Hatfields vs McCoys (Chicago media vs. MB) ----- ''Basically, for me, I talk to people I like. I don't particularly like the media, and the media doesn't like me. So let's not pretend we're buddies or you're trying to do anything for me. If anything, you hurt me more than help. So I don't see any benefit of really talking to the media. That's just how I feel. That's how I've always felt.'' http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/1543626,CST-SPT-cside25.ar… On aggravating the groin injury: He said he aggravated it in the third inning Wednesday chasing down the ball pitcher Ted Lilly errantly threw past first base after a bunt. How severe is it in terms of a percentage? ''Before the other night playing, I probably would have said 80 to 85 percent. After playing the other night and re-aggravating it, I'd probably say 65 percent, maybe.''

Bradley reinjured his groin? SHOCKER!! Who would of thought that could have happened? This is 100% on Hendry and Lou. What a stupid fucking mistake. For what to get some half-hearted PH attempts. So now they set Bradley back a few weeks and in the mean time ARam and Marmol, their best hitter and relief pitcher gets injured. Hopefully they learn from their mistakes and if ARAm is going to be out like 7 days or so, just to DL him and make sure he is 100% when he comes back. We can't have it like Soriano was a couple years back playing gimpy the whole year. Not sure how much more Hendry can screw things up more since last year.

this really reminds me now of 2006 redux. the year Hendry fucked the Cubs. on this years version, the worst move this idiot made waa trading de ro for nothing. bradley notwithstanding, at least Dome is performing. but, to give away the best "6th man" in the game waa fucking Stupid!

I'm loving the speculation of Bobby Scales being called up. He's not the next all star but dude has a sweet swing and he'll get nice hits I predict.

    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.

  • Cubster (view)

    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.
