7/16 CUBS (Hill) vs. Giants (Lincecum), 6:05 PM CT WCIU/ESPN

[Outshined_One]

At least we got Kyler Burke out of the deal.

 

:?

[Drew Doughty]

Bowen DFA

 

Well 1 worthless bat gone. Jesus that Barret trade was horrible!

 

Pretty much a DFA.

 

At least Hendry can admit he's wrong.

Then why is Izturis here, with Cedeno hitting everything in sight at Iowa?? Same with Jones and Pie??

 

Patterson and Murton deserve to be up also.

 

Patterson? I like him, but he's not a better option than Derosa or even Fontenot at 2B right now.

 

still, Murton, Cedeno, and Pie should all at least get a shot to start on the major league team right now. and that's disheartening.

[TruffleShuffle]

Bowen is hitting .212/316/345 for 2007. His career line is .209/306/340.

 

Somehow, I doubt anyone claims him and he'll be catching for Iowa when his time is up.

 

he's a better backup catcher than some teams have. I mean come on, Paul Bako? Wil Nieves?

[Omar]

Hah. ESPN still does a planned Bonds promo.

Thank God we don't have Barrett anymore. It would suck if we had another hitter.

They are working hard to trade Izturis right now.

 

As for Bowen, he'll be in Iowa soon. He still have a chance to contribute to the Cubs next year if he can get his bat more like it was for San Diego 2006/San Diego 2007.

If Soto ends up starting, he has a decent chance to outproduce Barrett with the way Barrett is playing now. The fact that the trade opened up Soto to start may make it a decent one, even if Bowen and/or Burke never pan out (and Burke is starting to play better).

Time for first pitch.

why bowen and not hill i wonder?

Any chance Iowa can fix him or is he a lost cause?

 

lost cause

[Handlebar McSkullet]

AT ANY RATE... LET PLAY SOME FREAKING BALL HUH!!!!????!!!!!

lost cause

 

Then who cares if he clears waivers...?

[killthegoat06]

Wow how I miss Pat and Ron (I'm listening to Giants broadcast)

[inari]

Now it's time to get rid of Jones, Izturis, and Eyre... then we're set.

Hopefully Kyler Burke turns into something useful.

 

:lol:

 

He has what? one hit since he joined our system?

[erik316wttn]

Wow, that Barrett trade was all sorts of awesome, huh?

[Bruno7481]

Bowen over Hill, thats interesting. Bowen might not get claimed anyway, but I thought Hill was the safer DFA if they didn't want to risk losing anyone.

He's actually been pretty hot as of late.

[Andy]

The Giants' lineup is putrid. Rich Hill needs to throw a shutout.

[Andy]

Erin Andrews looking really hot as usual. :)

Hopefully Hill is the one to break out of his slump and not the Giants. Of course, knowing the Cubs...

[Bruno7481]

Erin Andrews looking really hot as usual. :)

 

Attractive, but highly overrated.

[inari]

If Hill has another bad outing tonight against this lineup, I'll have serious doubts as to whether we can count on him.

[TysonCBulls423]

Since some of you are calling for Murton, Pie, Cedeno, Patterson, etc would you really want all of them starting? I can understand Cedeno and Pie (somewhat) but Murton and Patterson starting over Floyd/Ward/DeRosa and Patterson over DeRosa/Fontenot/Theriot?

[Andy]

Erin Andrews looking really hot as usual. :)

 

Attractive, but highly overrated.

I can buy overrated since EVERYONE talks about her, but highly overrated might be stretching it. She's too attractive to be highly overrated.
