Gameday Open Thread/Giants @ Cubs

The same two clubs meet again with Jonathan Sanchez and a split-squad Giants team taking on Carlos "Kichigai " Zambrano.

for no reason....weird bug. Unfortunately don't have time ti fix it now.

Soriano LF Theriot SS Fuku RF Lee 1B Fontenot 2B Pie CF Cintron 3B Blanco C Zambrano P Top four could be what we see on Opening Day?

Good to see the big guy is already in mid-season form. Roberts 4-3 Velez reaches on E1 Velez SB Velez to 3rd on WP 1B FO2 1 run, 1 hit, 1 error, 0 left. Hey, at least it's unearned.

still a little hard to get used to this format...and almost impossible to see who's chatting. all my eyes see are topics and the word "reply" scanning everything. my brain is still used to quickly scanning down a line of comments and I'm getting lost on who's actually posting things. damn retraining my brain to read stuff quickly.

Bonds grand jury testimony unsealed. According to ESPN he failed "several drug tests" for and tested positive for steroids since 2000. Bye- Bye Bud.

I can't figure out why the name Martinez-Esteve bothers me so much, but I'll be sure to let you all know when I do. Popup window is much better than these comments.

Well, it's 8-5 Giants now. We were winning, but then it was time for the Les Walrond Experience. 4 runa in 2/3 of an inning. Eyre gave up an un-earned run. Mr. Zero also gave up a run in his inning of work.

Wish I had this commenting thing figured out over here. Then I probably wouldn't 3/44. Although, I did that at the old site, too. Probably just my own ignorance.

    I hope Cards management and their fans treat Willson with respect going forward. I'd be happy to still have him as a Cub. Heck, he'd even be our best DH option at this point.

    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.

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

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.
