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?

    just waiting to hear patrick wisdom and masterboney are spotted at the airport going in opposite directions...

    aj puk going for the marlins (lefty)...gotta imagine we'll see wisdom in the lineup.

    someone has to make room for taillon, too.

  • crunch (view)

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).
