Gallagher!

 

Hoping for a solid outing!

[Guest]

Larry Suarez got the start today for Mesa and had some more control problems - 2 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 1 K/2 BB.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Go Sean!

[Athletics36]

Hate to post this again but Sean not starting tonight, can't say anything else at this time......... :lol:

[Laura]

I hope someone (Petrick / Marmol) isn't hurt ...

 

It doesn't seem like this is a move that needs to be made because the bullpen has been used up.

[NCCubFan]

The Cubs have frequently indicated that they want to carry 12 pitchers, and they currently have 11. So I don't think that calling up another pitcher (if that's what Mr. Gallagher was hinting at; I don't want to put words in his mouth :D ) necessarily means that it is to replace another pitcher. Maybe it means bye bye Jones or Izturis.

[Brian]

Maybe Pie is going down to get ABs and work on whatever Lou was teaching him

[Lockes Eye Scar]

gah, why are they going to call up Sean again so he can rot in the bullpen... stupid Cobs

So I guess this does not need to be posted in transactions?

There's no transaction to report yet; just our speculation. All that we know factually is that he isn't starting for Iowa tonight as originally scheduled. The rest is us inferring the reason.

Daytona rained out.

That hasn't stopped anyone before.

[Guest]

In Sean's place, Randy Wells is starting for Iowa.

[E.J.]

I hope to wake up in the morning seeing that Jones and Izturis have been traded, Koyie Hill has been sent to Iowa, and Cedeno, Soto, and Sean are on their way to DC. :D

Soto and Cedeno are both playing tonight, so it looks like it may just be Sean. BTW I hope he is getting called up and not traded.

[E.J.]

I see Harvey is right back to his old ways. The Cubs might as well convert him to pitcher already.

They should just let him get his starts and innings in AAA instead of bringing him up and down. Assuming Hendry finally found an acceptable deal for Jones and he is taking that spot he would still most likely go back down right after the all star break when Dempster is re-activated. Petrick looks like a keeper and is more suited for a long term role as a reliever.

[Warpticon]

Wow. Cedeno goes 3-4. Patterson goes 1-4 with his 11th homer.

[Balsa]

Jim must be waiting until Cedeno hits a .400 BA

 

.391 after tonight

[questionmarkgrace]

Yeah, Harvey is worthless as a hitter right now. It doesn't seem to matter where he is at he just racks up the K's swingin for the fences. Time to make him a pitcher.
