What say you? The players play the game and the managers are just overpaid babysitters? Pshaw! This is war, baby! The very fabric of Cubdom lies in the balance. The past vs the future; Dude vs Fella, Right vs Wrong!!! Pick a side, but choose wisely - for the faith of the Cubs world lies in the balance. (Tribal yell as I grab my gun off the wall!)

This also marks the less-public return of Corey Patterson, who's leading the Reds in home runs, rbi's and runs right now. Derrek Lee leads the Cubs in those same categories. One of those scenarios has a chance to remain true by the end of the season. Felix Pie is also back in the lineup and gets to face Aaron Harang after getting about 5 AB's in the last week. Good luck with that.

 

Comments

Old Lou Piniella Always said "fella." And Baker, he always said "dude." The fans had a while To observe each one’s style While on closers or toothpicks he chewed. Baker made martyrs Of promising starters By leaving them out on the mound. While Lou jumps and jogs To save bases from clogs By prying them out of the ground.

Im here.... Yes Pie has looked terrible at the plate tonight. Nice catch in right center.

MARMOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE LADY MARMOLAAAAAAAAAAAAADE how bad does pie look at the plate? i'll take a fuku plus murton/derosa/johnson outfield any day, i don't care about the defensive downgrade. Pie back to AAA where he can play every day and figure out how to not get completed fooled.

Lou said Soriano "probably out for awhile." Awaiting for MRI results in am. Just said hope its a couple of games. Said Derosa can play left. Yikes.

injury before the season started. Here. And yes, I do want a medal. I had lobbied for keeping Murton as I feel, unfortunately, that the player who had never had leg injuries until he signed a $$136MM contract with the Blue People, has now been officially "Cubbed". It is doubly sucky, b/c it seemed as if he was "getting his legs back".

to play LF and leadoff to keep everyone else in the same spot personally. I am assuming if Murt gets the call the line-up Lou would use would be: Theriot Dero Lee Ram Fuku Soto Murt/Font Pie

This may sound like a stupid question, but why wasn't Wood credited with a save last night? When he entered the game the Cubs had a 4 run lead with a runner on first. A short reliever who enters the 9th with a 3 run lead and no one on gets a save. I thought that to get a save the tieing run had to be "in the hole" which last night it was. Am I wrong or is there something about the rule that I am missing?

My comment was based more on a belief in DeRosa's abilities than a denigration of Soriano's. I already conceded assists, but there's more to playing LF than throwing. To parahrase saying I hate, the stats are what they are. But my eyes tell me Soriano is a decent LF, not one of the best in baseball or even the NL. When was the last time you saw him make a good catch, or a good play, that didn't involve his arm?

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.

    Amen to that last point!
