6/26 Rockies (Lopez) vs CUBS (Lilly), 7:05p, WGNTV, XM184

[CubmanPi]

MLB Gameday has Petrick as an available pitcher, and Jones as an available bench player and Demp still on the (26-man) roster. THey know as much as we know.

I wonder if Hendry just forgot to get rid of someone. I mean, he IS Hendry.

[Sarcastic]

we already got rid of jones, don't be greedy/unrealistic

 

Unless the reported snag turns out to be a bigger deal than we thought.

 

It should be interesting to see how Fontenot does at SS today. It is important for his future that he be able to play as many IF positions as possible, since he'll probably end up being a bench player, and it would also give us a replacement at SS for Izturis and Theriot, neither of whom are playing well right now, and neither of whom looks like an everyday player longterm.

I don't think it's being unrealistic. With Font and DeRo doing so well and having Theriot on the bench I believe it makes Izturis expendable. I can see it being the next move the cubs make.

 

you're assuming that we have a competent GM who is willing to admit his mistakes

 

We traded Jones for almost nothing. This is an implied apology of sorts.

I'll spoil the suspense - he's not going to be a good fielding shortstop. He won't be a average. But if he can provide a .750 OPS from that spot, it'll make up for the lousy D.

Well guys, I'm heading over to the ballpark. Hope I don't get drenched out there. Everyone remember to vote for me in the NSBB Contest tomorrow or Thursday (whenever its posted) :):)

I know he isn't going to be a gold glove SS, my hope is that he will be merely below average rather than an unmitigated disaster. If he is halfway decent, Lou would be justified in playing him at SS.

whens Griffey getting here?

whens Griffey getting here?

 

I just talked to him on AIM, he said he'll be in by Friday.

[Guest]

Dempster to the DL, Jones trade is off, Petrick is on the 25-man and available.

[Roast]

Wellll Crap we're still stuck with Jones.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[E.J.]

Dempster to the DL, Jones trade is off, Petrick is on the 25-man and available.

 

And we're still with 11 pitchers instead of 12 like Lou wants. Guess we'll just start over tomorrow and try again.

[badger1679666666]

Wellll Crap we're still stuck with Jones.

 

And apparently everyone knows how desperate we are to get rid of him.

 

:(

Figured it'd be too good to be true. In Jones' defense, he DID score the game-tying run on the walkoff play last night.

 

/got nothin

Apparently Hendry wasn't desperate enough.

If we were that desperate I don't think the deal would've fallen through.

Where was that?

[Jazz]

K!

 

Taveras goes down swinging

[Butterscup1679666578]

Nice job Theodore.

[inari]

Please please please please please don't suck Lilly. The pen can't afford it.

[Jazz]

that curve is looking good

[Mizzou]

Has Jacque been spotted? Also, has any mention been made of him?

[CubmanPi]

Please please please please please don't suck Lilly. The pen can't afford it.

With whats-his-name on the roster and the three guys who are on a day's rest, I think they'll get by okay. But yea, I'd like to see Lilly break out another 8-inning game.

[Andy]

Lilly lookin' good.
