I saw that pitch coming from a mile away!

[UMFan83]

DeRosa is awful right now...geez.

[illiniguy]

Nice game Mark.

DeRosa really needs a few days off. He's been struggling.

[bukie]

DeRosa looks like he could use a day off. Too bad the Cubs don't have anyone else that can play that position.

[C.C.]

Weather threw 1 stirke that entire AB

[Andy]

I called that DeRo whiff after he took a meatball for strike 2.

 

This team blows sometimes.

[SouthSideRyan]

So it'll definitely be Ward pinch hitting. Cedeno will get to pinch run for him though!!

[CubsGM]

Send DeRosa down to the minors Lou!

[splintersag]

Mark DeRosa you are filthy! (and not in a good way)

[UMFan83]

DeRosa 1 for his last 17 ABs.

[17 Seconds]

Bronson Arroyo wtf

[Little Slide Rooter]

My hatred for Mark DeRosa is really getting out of control. Hes a journeyman utility man, yet we keep him in our every day lineup. Edited May 6, 2008 by Little Slide Rooter

[KaiserCesar]

With Fontenot, Theriot and Cedeño, and Aramis coming back, Derosa can afford to take a few days off.

[rawaction]

No reason for Cedeno not to have started at 3B today.

[killthegoat06]

9th: fontenot, Pie, Ward. We lose.

[Schwarber Fan]

Thom is officially harder to listen to than Harrelson

 

Soto is officially the best hitter on the Cubs

 

I think when Soriano comes back, Cedeno should start some games with Aram out... oh wait.

[weatherdood]

Now would be the time to bring in Ronny to play 3rd, get DeRo out of the game, and avoid using a PH in the 9th.

[17 Seconds]

DeRosa really needs a few days off. He's been struggling.

 

But who do we have to fill in? I can't think of any middle infielder we have that has hit this season.

[chuckywang]

Soriano game tying homer ... I can feel it!

[bcruise]

I love that replay that just barely misses showing the plate as the pitch is coming in. So very convenient.

 

(Was I supposed to use the green text there? :))

Other than that Cedeno punk who's only hitting .380 ish, no.

[Little Slide Rooter]

With Fontenot, Theriot and Cedeño, and Aramis coming back, Derosa can afford to go back to the bench were the good lord intended him to be.

 

fixed.
