finally...a cubs game without the SF announce crew. they're not horrible, but i'm a bit sick of them. stupid EI on time-warner giving me 1 stupid feed...go WGN...go limp dicks, herpies, children i have a attitude about because their parents have issues, and garden claw gold!

im all for fuku batting 2nd, but reed johnson leading off? -edit- len/bob talking about how fuku is given 2nd to "get used to hitting 2nd"...bob thinks its his best spot, so does a lotta the rest of baseball. good to see the adjustment.

bleh...Z not looking so hot in the 1st. high 80s fastballs, sketchy control over the breaking stuff...hope its just "working itself out". -edit- edmonds with a big standing-O by cards fans...another classy showing by cards fans (not sarcasm). -edit- okay...now paul sulivan is in the booth saying someone's gun is off...on Z's fastest pitch so far (91mph) the stadium gun said 97mph. so uh...yeah...something might be amiss somewhere so take the top note with a heaping helping of salt grains.

LaRussa's a good manager, but also quite a douchebag. All Edmonds was saying is that now that he's with another team, call him a Cub. But Mr. PETA gets all hissy about it? His doucheness is also exemplified by his reasons for always wearing dark glasses during night games - you know, so the opposing manager can't read his facial expressions. What?

Brewers seem to be going hard after Sabathia and it looks like a very good offer. Via Rotoworld... Tom Haudricourt believes the third player may be Lorenzo Cain, a lesser outfield prospect. If acquired, LaPorta would likely be a candidate to join the Indians in August. Green would be another potential third baseman of the future to go along with Andy Marte, Wes Hodges and Beau Mills. He has a chance to make it as a starter, but Hodges is the better bet. Mills is going to end up as a first baseman or DH. For what it's worth, Brewers GM Doug Melvin added that he doesn't expect anything to happen in the next couple of days. "Cleveland is in control of this, not us," he said. "They told us they're talking to other clubs, too. You never know how these things are going to work out."

That game/schedule widget on the right hasn't updated for me since June 30th. I'm wondering if hasn't for everybody else.

Didn't notice before right now, but yea, it isn't updated for me either.

yeah, I have no control over it. I noticed it did the same thing about a month ago. The owners of it probably took the weekend off.

    agreed and agreed.

    he walked off on his own, but we may not find out for a few days how this will impact the club.

  • hellfrozeover (view)

    Looked like a hamstring rather than a knee, not sure if that’s better or worse. 

  • crunch (view)

    steele leaves the game with a hamstring or knee injury.  sigh.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and a madrigal "non-error" leads to a sac fly for a tie game.  nice.

    having a ball clank off your glove, but still getting it count as a hit because it was hit hard is a nice stats gift.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    For sure. This lineup isn’t exactly stacked as is, and subbing out a Cooper or even a Tauchman for Madrigal won’t do it any favors.

    the ESPN bottom graphic taking up 1/8th of the screen sucks.

    i only use ESPN during baseball season and i'm forced to watch a baseball broadcast designed to be broadcast in sports bars and betting parlors where the news/scores of other games is as important as what you're actually tuned in to watch.

    morel triple to start the season....yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    LHP Blake Weiman appears to have been the last cut from the AAA Iowa roster. He is with the Tennessee group at Minor League Camp.

    bruce bochy is hobbling rather badly for a guy who's had 2 hip replacements.  his gait is extremely wonky taking the lineup card to the ump.

  • crunch (view)

    yeah, for me this isn't about who's better at 3rd.  it's madrigal, period.  for me it's about who's not hitting in the lineup because madrigal is in the lineup.

    occasional play at 3rd for madrigal, okay.  going with the steele/ground-ball matchup...meh, but okay, whatever.

    seeing madrigal get significant starting time...no thanks.
