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'

    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). 

  • Childersb3 (view)

    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
