The Cubs are the only team in baseball this season that has not lost more than two games in a row. Both of yesterday's starting SS get the night off. Can't say I'm too surprised Theriot gets the rest. Game is on ESPN, and the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency and Homeland Security had all asked LouPa to bench Theriot, so as to avoid dangerous levels of exposure to Joe Morgan's patented Grit Pontifications.

Good road trip, great way to finish it off with tonight's solid game from all 3 pitchers---solid starting pitching, set-up , and great 9th by Wood------look's like Cedeno is regressing at the plate, late on fb's, always looking back at umpire when he is gets called out---it all starts with starting pitching so hopefully all 5 will continue the good work--get to the 7th and let the bullpen take over

what a great way to end the road trip, marquis looked surprisingly ok surprised he went into 7th i agree about cedeno he has sucked at plate for 6 weeks know not doing a good job building that trade value. also i think i heard chipper jones would be out for a few games, to bad.

Did anybody read Paul Sullivan's coverage of Zambrano's "outburst" yesterday? I wonder if this is an age thing? I mean, do younger fans get all worked about this? It seems like only fuddy duddy jock sniffers like Sullivan get worked up about it.

I'm not a big fan of Z's tantrum, but I would hope that the other players don't let it affect them. Unless they were waiting for some Gatorade. Then I would understand if they were mad. Sullivan has also been hammering on a really annoying thesis that "the Cubs have turned it around after Lou's dirt-kicking outburst last year." So: Lou tantrum good! Z tantrum bad. Either way, it's the tantrum that's important, not how anybody pitched or hit or fielded or anything. But then, that's tantrumball for you.

imo, the most important thing about the latest round of "Z stupidity" is he at least went after the coolers by kicking and throwing them, not punching them. "But then, that's tantrumball for you." <--- ha.

I thought that was a pretty appropriate tantrum. Kept to the dugout. Didn't hurt anybody. Got rid of some nervous energy and frustration. I punched my couch at home, for goodness sakes, and I wasn't even the one who threw the fat pitch that inning. Or dropped a throw. Or a flyball. Or chucked one down the right field line.

I must have missed that exchange, but I thought the entire thing about Morgan asking Miller who hit the hardest, most consistent line drives was hilarious. Allow me to recap: Morgan: So who do you think hit the hardest, most consistent line drives? Miller: Hmm, good question. Dave Winfield. Morgan: Nope. Miller: What? There aren't any wrong answers to this question. You can't exactly measure it. Morgan: That's incorrect. --- A bunch more bickering ensues about the possibility of an incorrect answer to an unanswerable question based on opinion and observation--- Morgan: It's Al Oliver. Miller: OK, Joe.

that's one thing that pisses me off about those 2. look...quit acting like you're fishing buddies. you're calling a game to the nation...quit doing crap like this every game... joe...jon...im not your friend. everyone likes a good story every now and then, but you guys are not in a fishing boat pissing away time. i have no idea how these guys keep getting marquee work in an era where the booths around baseball are getting younger and "hipper" they are both totally out of 1960s-1970s baseball stories anyway.

I liken Jon Miller to Pat Hughes in demeanor. Except whereas Pat is partnered with a lovable, emotional bumbler, Jon is partnered with an unmitigated ass. Jon chooses to let Morgan go long enough to show he's an idiot and then accedes to end the conversation, not unlike the amusing way Pat sometimes deals with Ron. In the Miller/Morgan case, though, it's infuriating. Next time he's in this situation, Jon should call up RobG and have him give Morgan a good cock punch. /just sayin'

    morel with 4 clean plays in 4 innings...showed off his 100000000mph arm a couple times.

    cody bellinger not having a good 4th, though...5 run leads are handy when your CF is making your pitcher have a 5-out inning.  2nd blown chance was ruled a hit even though it went in/out of his glove...1st was lost in the lights, also ruled a hit.

    welcome back happ!  double off the wall 1st PA back.

  • crunch (view)

    oh yeah, totally, i was just chiming about why i fan like i fan.

    i would like nothing more than hendricks to keep on hendricks'ing.  guys with his stuff can throw for a long, long time as long as it works.

    he velocity is actually up a minor amount this year.  it's really "damn" when a guy like him not only has gas in the tank, but it's looking like it was years ago.  he added a curve a few years ago and it helped a little bit, but he's throwing it less and less while the fb/change combo are less effective.

    CRUNCH—There is no one person in this community I’m talking about.  My remarks were not directed at you or anyone, but at a tone I’ve noticed lately. 

    You have a great, dry sense of humor and there is thought behind your comments.   You and I don’t always agree but I always understand your position.  

    Lastly, and I’ll be quiet, I agree with you on Hendricks.  We can dislike the recent performance but still love the guy.  Lots of questions about his future.

    myself, i make a good amount of outrageously unrealistic comments that are sometimes "violent"...like my recent suggestion of "pulling the bandaid off" by having hendricks throw every inning of every game until he's on the IL.

    i would hope any athlete that cares about what is written on the internet realizes how casual fans can be about treating their lives like scripted TV characters that don't have real lives.  it's not an excuse to do it, but there's a lot of it out there.

    but yeah, in real life i'm rooting for guys to have long and healthy careers even if i'm not happy with current performances...except for some guys...and i'm pretty sure i don't leave grey area for those comments...and almost all of them are not good humans whether they're playing baseball or not...

    hendricks was getting a good amount of boos in his last game.  i would bet a million that he will get a standing O every time he visits wrigley in his post-playing days, or a return with a new team should his career continue...or if he comes back and puts in an oldschool good performance.

    What are the chances we can back off on gloating over other people’s misfortune?  One of the things I appreciate about the TCR community is that the remarks are more productive and add to how I like to follow the game.  

    Lately, however, I’m reading comments that are just mean.  If I were an MLB player, I would hate to get a back or finger injury and have someone write ‘hurrah!  I hope we never see him again!’  Especially when it is someone we were praising not long ago.  I’m not saying ‘don’t express how you feel’ but some comments lately seem downright mean spirited.  Stuff I expect from other communities but don’t often see here.  The TCR community has always spoken the truth but never with such a dark tone.

    Just my two cents.  I hope Hendricks comes back and is the professor we all know. He can pitch for the Cubs as long as he wants in my book.

    happ is back (and starting), mervis DH, tauchman gets RF.

    morel 5th in the lineup.  hoerner continues to lead off, even vs a righty.

  • George Altman (view)

    I don't care to see Hendricks or Smyly on the 26-man Roster the rest of the season. Both, stupid signings and option pick up by Jed. 

  • crunch (view)

    i know the cubs are paying the guys, but for the sake of the win/loss column this is some great news.

    woo!  people getting injured!  kick ass!

    sportsball is cruel.

    would have liked to keep cooper, but it looks like they're gonna go with wisdom if they have to pick a righty who's gonna K 1/3rd of his PA's.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Edwards would be my guess, or maybe they’re hoping Sanders or R Thompson can finally figure it out
