What say you? The players play the game and the managers are just overpaid babysitters? Pshaw! This is war, baby! The very fabric of Cubdom lies in the balance. The past vs the future; Dude vs Fella, Right vs Wrong!!! Pick a side, but choose wisely - for the faith of the Cubs world lies in the balance. (Tribal yell as I grab my gun off the wall!)

This also marks the less-public return of Corey Patterson, who's leading the Reds in home runs, rbi's and runs right now. Derrek Lee leads the Cubs in those same categories. One of those scenarios has a chance to remain true by the end of the season. Felix Pie is also back in the lineup and gets to face Aaron Harang after getting about 5 AB's in the last week. Good luck with that.

Old Lou Piniella Always said "fella." And Baker, he always said "dude." The fans had a while To observe each one’s style While on closers or toothpicks he chewed. Baker made martyrs Of promising starters By leaving them out on the mound. While Lou jumps and jogs To save bases from clogs By prying them out of the ground.

Im here.... Yes Pie has looked terrible at the plate tonight. Nice catch in right center.

MARMOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE LADY MARMOLAAAAAAAAAAAAADE how bad does pie look at the plate? i'll take a fuku plus murton/derosa/johnson outfield any day, i don't care about the defensive downgrade. Pie back to AAA where he can play every day and figure out how to not get completed fooled.

Lou said Soriano "probably out for awhile." Awaiting for MRI results in am. Just said hope its a couple of games. Said Derosa can play left. Yikes.

injury before the season started. Here. And yes, I do want a medal. I had lobbied for keeping Murton as I feel, unfortunately, that the player who had never had leg injuries until he signed a $$136MM contract with the Blue People, has now been officially "Cubbed". It is doubly sucky, b/c it seemed as if he was "getting his legs back".

Submitted by Chifan on Tue, 04/15/2008 - 04:42 pm

to play LF and leadoff to keep everyone else in the same spot personally. I am assuming if Murt gets the call the line-up Lou would use would be: Theriot Dero Lee Ram Fuku Soto Murt/Font Pie

This may sound like a stupid question, but why wasn't Wood credited with a save last night? When he entered the game the Cubs had a 4 run lead with a runner on first. A short reliever who enters the 9th with a 3 run lead and no one on gets a save. I thought that to get a save the tieing run had to be "in the hole" which last night it was. Am I wrong or is there something about the rule that I am missing?

My comment was based more on a belief in DeRosa's abilities than a denigration of Soriano's. I already conceded assists, but there's more to playing LF than throwing. To parahrase saying I hate, the stats are what they are. But my eyes tell me Soriano is a decent LF, not one of the best in baseball or even the NL. When was the last time you saw him make a good catch, or a good play, that didn't involve his arm?

    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.

    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

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