Discuss.

[Sammy Sofa]

The Cubs will lose.

 

End of discussion.

[Laura]

Glad to see the Guz get the call. It was the obvious thing to do, but OBVIOUSLY the OBVIOUS sometimes escapes the Cubs.

 

Everyone used to joke about how Josh Fogg's picture when he was a Pirate looked like he had beer farts. It's still the same now that he's with the Rockies.

[Flames24Rulz]

Go Guz.

Yeah, I could have seen the Cubs running Mateo out there today for a few innings.

[texascub]

Gooz hasn't produced enough to justify this, his name got him here. Once we're back to full strength, he'll be back in Iowa to prove himself :roll:

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Go Gooz!

[NorthsideAvenger]

For some stragne reason, I have been coveted a Coors Lite ALL DAY? :-k 8)

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm feeling good about this one. If there's one pitcher in the league that the Cubs have owned pretty consistently over the past few years, it's Josh Fogg. I think even this team can beat him.

He should just throw the ball up there left handed. He'd shut us out on 4 hits.

Why can't Murton or Pagan play first base? That way you'd get both in the lineup. I think they're more likely to help us next year than Mabry and Nevin.

[UMFan83]

Do you realize last year we would have had 8 threads up here enraged about Izturis batting second constantly (despite his .297 OBP as a Cub)....but we're so apathetic its not even a big deal.

Sad, isn't it?

 

 

Yay another guy caught stealing with our best hitter up.

How about 8 threads about guys getting thrown out stealing with the heart of the order coming up?

 

Dusty Ball!

[Laura]

Sometimes it's so hard to know where to begin that it's not worth it anymore.

 

Good luck, Guz!

[YearofDaCubs]

Izturis sucks but we all knew that, too bad Baker and Hendry don't have a damn clue.

[cheapseats]

Len with a tacit indictment of Dusty: Todd Helton is a pretty good candidate to hit #2 with a .390 OBP.

[Laura]

Brenly noting that Murton could make the catch because he was positioned correctly (not on the warning track).

[YearofDaCubs]

Haha, our pitching sucks, actually our entire team sucks..

[Butterscup1679666578]

Well, have fun in AAA Guzman.

[Laura]

There aren't too many kids left to call up.

 

Todd Walker hit his first HR as a Padre vs Houston. Playing 3B tonight.

[Jon]

Odd. Only just now has his velocity returned to normal. He was sitting mostly 90-91 for the first few ABs.

 

And only just now is he throwing non-fastballs.

 

Playing the infield IN? How about outs, Dusty?

[cheapseats]

Don't worry folks. 4 runs won't be enough to win this game. :roll:

[Butterscup1679666578]

We're pretty awesome.
