GALLAGHER!

I'm really hoping the wife lets me make one last trip over there tonight. :fingerscrossed:

Well at least you shouldn't have to worry about the sunburn issue.

[E.J.]

Dear Wade Miller,

 

Please retire already. Your 85mph fastball isn't getting it done. There are plenty of high school kids out there that have better stuff than you do nowadays. You don't have it anymore. Give up.

 

Thanks,

True. If my brother goes with his kids, I'm going as I'll just bum a ride with him. What she's really griping about is the amount of money I'm spending in gas to get there. Each trip is costing me around $30 in gas alone.

[Brian]

MILLER!!

 

;)

[Andy]

Please K 10 people tonight Shark

[TruffleShuffle]

Please K 10 people tonight Shark

 

I'd be happy with 5 strikeouts at this point.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm going again tonight! :cheers:

 

I'll try to give a report on how Gallagher looks.

[Flames24Rulz]

Is it wrong to hope that Miller gets lit up tonight?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Is it wrong to hope that Miller gets lit up tonight?

 

Hope or not, it's probably going to happen either way.

[Moonlight Graham]

Wade needs to go. He is taking useful starts away from kids that might have some promise.

[Soriano12]

No. It is in the best interest of the Cubs for that to happen.

To be fair, with Marmol, Marshall and Guzman in the bigs, there aren't any kids in Iowa who could start. I mean, John Webb was moved to their rotation after the Marmol promotion. The only "kid" I can think of is Randy Wells and he struggled earlier in the season in the rotation (I guess they could also call up Mark Holliman from AA Tennessee).

[WindyCity]

Wade Miller for closer! heh :wink:

[otis89]

No love for Shaver?

[NCCubFan]

Is it wrong to hope that Miller gets lit up tonight?

Not at all. I think it's wrong to wish physical harm on someone, but hoping he gets torched so he doesn't get called up is definitely good.

[C.C.]

Miller is getting rocked early. 3-1 Round Rock top 3rd.

[Flames24Rulz]

Awful outing for Samardzija tonight: 1.2 IP, 9 hits, 7 runs, 0 K's/1 BB, 1 HR allowed. His ERA is now up to 5.18 on the season. Daytona down 8-3 in the 5th.

Yikes! That really surprises me because he was great in spring.

Eh, he just wants to be like Zambrano.

Tennessee up 4-2 in the 6th. Gallagher's done for the night. His final line: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 1 K

 

Peora down 3-2 in the 8th. Shaver's line: 4.2 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K

[TruffleShuffle]

the game log says ronny cedeno was picked off first... this can't be right. He was always such a solid baserunner.
