The Cubs seek consecutive win number nine tonight versus the generally punchless Padres. While the Giants offense gets mocked for their futility, it's the Padres(3.66 R/G) and Nationals(3.74 R/G) currently battling for the bottom rung of the NL offensive ladder.

For the Cubs, not only does a win tonight extend their winning streak, it would also secure their first road series win since they swept the Pirates...their first road series of the year back in early April. And while their 11-13 road record is certainly unspectacular, there's only 3 NL teams with a .500 or better mark on the road (Marlins, Phillies and Cardinals). Another series sweep and the Cubs will join that group...

Marquis vs Ledezma tonight...I imagine good seat are still available.

Update: Reader Little Nate Lewis flagged this official Cubs press release announcing the demotion of Micah Hoffpauir, who went 8-for-19, .421 in 11 games, and the promotion of pitcher Kevin Hart from Iowa. Hart appeared in six games for the I-Cubs, all as a starter, going 1-1, 3.81, 33 K, 9 BB.

In 18 appearances with the Cubs dating back to last September, all in relief, Hart is 2-1, 3.33 .

strange lineup, Cedeno and Theriot both playing SS. =============== Sorry if 3/44, but this just in from Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus: "Jason Schmidt has a minor calf injury, re-setting his rehab clock"

I must admit that I am a bit embarrassed to be asking this, but what is the exact history and definition of "3/44?" I was working more than I would like and was not checking this glorious site as much as I should have been over the past 8 months or so.

Sorry if this is 3/44, but back when Schmidt was a free agent, there was interest at TCR in the offers he was getting. The Cubs' offer of 3 years, $44 million was repeated many times here by several individuals, to the point that a day or two would pass by and someone else would report it as news. Thus, "3/44" became synonymous with reporting info that was already known by most people here.

It's denotes a comment that has been made before (usually numerous times). The origin was back in November/December 2006 when Jason Schmidt was a free agent. There were rumors that Hendry had made an offer of "3/44" that about 10 different commenters posted. The first reference I can find to the contract offer was from commenter WPZ on 11/27/2006: "Here’s the quote Brian got from that SF article: “All has been quiet on Jason Schmidt’s potential return to San Francisco, and this might be why: According to one source, the Cubs have offered Schmidt a three-year deal worth $44 million.” For me that’s a no-brainer. I’d prefer two with a mutual option but in this market forget it … we’d have to go to $20 a year." The first repeat of this information came from Jacos on 11/28/2006: "George Offman on WSCR reports Cubs offer Jason Schmidt 3/44." I believe the first reference to 3/44 as a joke came on 11/28/2006 from Little Nate Lewis: "My sources are telling me we have made a 3 year offer to Schmidt…. somewhere around $44-$45 million dollars. This is very solid information….. if it comes true I will repost this to rub it in your faces." However, some others who re-posted the contract details may have been doing so as a joke as well.

I love that Cedeno is hitting better this year, but man the guy is an idiot on the basepaths. At least this time he slid through the base on an actual SB attempt instead of a walk.

Submitted by billybucks on Tue, 06/03/2008 - 06:12 pm

That was one of the worst-pitched innings I have ever seen. The other team has one dangerous hitter, and Marquis walks 3 guys (including the pitcher and the leadoff man) to get to him. Bad, stupid or some combination -- Marquis continues to be a very over-priced #5-quality starter. Love to trade him, but who would want him? Come on, bats -- time to get going.

i am absolutely stunned that lou did not pinch hit for marquis there in the 5th. 1 out, 2nd and 3rd, looking for contact and hopefully more. why have a million pitchers on the roster if you're not going to pinch hit in that situation/?!?!?! marquis looks 100% awful. tying run at second and you've got marquis hitting lefty against a lefty (i realize that the bench guys are all lefties tonight other than blanco, but still....marquis against a righty maybe i could see) i'm stunned with lou....thought that was a fontenot spot for sure.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
