I didn't see this posted elsewhere, and thought there are certain individuals on the board that would be interested in this.

Say it ain't so.

I wondered if Merker is blaming Steve Stone for this latest injury

Merker was going to retire after the season, anyways, this injury just truly confirms it.

First the Sox win some games, and now this.

 

Horrible.

I've never understood why he's so popular. I don't dislike him by any means, but I don't see what's so endearing about him.

I think he is a jag-bag personally

aneurysm + no hitter = amazing

[treebird]

you might as well ask why jesus is so popular

 

if true, it really puts the cubs season in perspective. i couldn't care less about them now. : (

Does anyone else think he's just doing this to give other teams a shot in the NL?

i really thought he had done enough by moving to the bullpen a few years ago, but it's clear that he's still too much for the rest of the league despite only throwing 4 innings a week.

Cub fans love mediocrity

Tow no-hitters, actually. One combined (along with Mark Wohlers and Alejandro Pena) and one solo.

I was gonna say that they'll have one this year, but they're only 4 games over .500...maybe not.

[Soul]

Try as I might, I can't whip up any tears over this.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think we should all take a shot of Grey Goose in his honor tonight. Who's with me?

[wekse]

GRAND IDEA!!!!!

[ConstableRabbit]

I liked him. He was a good pitcher on the Cubs.
