6/16 Detroit Tigers (Robertson) @ Cobs (Rusch) 1:20 PM - WGN

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

The Cubs site reads as follows right now:

 

"Cubs aim to pick up Rucsh against Tigers"

 

I won't even waste my time or yours trying to make a joke out of it. It's already funny.

That's what irks me. We ALL knew Guzman was a better choice. Let's see. Rusch Sucks - Guzman has had some struggles but has been way better than rusch. Rusch will always suck, Guzman could be in the Cubs future, Rusch is not.

 

Rusch, unfortunately, is going to be involved in the Cubs immediate (next week), near-term (the rest of the season) and medium-term (next season) future.

[YearofDaCubs]

For those of you watching is Guzman looking at dominant? He is King guys left and right.

king?

striking out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Shelton took second base on a passed ball

[goonys evil twin]

You think any reporter will have the balls to ask Dusty why he didn't start Guzman instead of Rusch?

`I wish there was a reporter who had the balls to ask Dusty and Hendry what are they still doing here.

 

I'm sure they'll ask. The problem is Dusty won't have the balls to answer it honestly. He'll hem and haw and blame everything but himself for the mistake.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Inge struck out swinging

[ToupeeOnFire]

Len just reminded us that Rothschild could have been the pitching coach for the Detroit Tigers.

 

Just twist the knife a little further why don't ya.

[Outshined_One]

They just mentioned that Samardzija (sp?) threw for Rothschild this morning, did he sign yet? Can he throw for the team before he signs?

 

He can throw with the team before he signs in a workout of sorts.

[Fred Hornkohl]

What do you think the record is more most KOs in a relief outing?

 

Gotta be more than the 10 that Rusch had in relief last month, eh?

[Brian]

well, that was a good pitch.

"Glendon just didn't get the breaks. His wasn't getting the calls on the outside corner, and he really depends on those calls to be effective. Just too many mistakes today for G-Unit. It didn't help the wind was howling out either. We'll see how he does in 5 days."

in rusch's defense, guzman seems to be having lots of problems today as well.

Jones and Walker sent to the 60-day DL with broken backs. Ramirez avoided injury due to his determination not to carry any part of the team.

Rusch wore out the hitters for Angel.

How painfully true.

The Tigers are the proverbial pickle jar and Glendon was the husband loosening it up for his wife. Although his breastal region suggests he was the wife loosening it up for the husband.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones grounded out to first, unassisted

[Outshined_One]

Was Leyland lighting up in the dugout before the camera moved away?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno lined out to shortstop

[Chocolate Milk]

Gotta get Guz back out there quick, while he's hot. I like this approach.
