04/30 Florida (Volstad) @ CUBS (Marshall) 7:05 CDT, WCIU TV

[erik316wttn]

I hope Kevin Towers is watching, although at this point we could probably use Adrian Gonzalez from them more than Peavy. How about Marshall, Vitters, Caridad, Ascanio, Jake Fox, Chad Fox, Tony Thomas, Micah Hoffpauir, Jay Jackson, Ryan Flaherty, Rebel Ridling, Randy Wells, Kevin Hart, Marquez Smith, Andrew Cashner, Mitch Atkins, and Derrek Lee as a throw in for both.

 

I agree 100 percent that we need Gonzalez more than we now need (or ever needed) Peavy. However, I'm pretty sure he's classified as "untouchable", so we'd have to offer the moon and a few stars for him.

 

Towers would be much more willing to part with Peavy. I guess if we trade him we could turn around and flip someone (Lilly?) for a bat, but I don't see that happening, either.

Fine, we'll throw in Brad Snyder, Jeff Stevens, Chris Archer, Jeremy Papelbon, Casey Lambery, Casey Coleman, Blake Lalli...

[erik316wttn]

Damn.

 

What the hell happened to Cantu? He was washed up and finished a few years ago, wasn't he?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Uggla flied out to right field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Paulino singled to left field

[Little Slide Rooter]

I really hope the Marlins fall out of contetion, because Id really like to be able to get ahold of Cantu. Granted hed probably scare the kids out of Wrigley, but the guy can hit and play the entire infield.

Ross grounded into a FC, 5-4, Paulino out at second

Good show by Sean. Very good show. Now hopefully the pen can hold it together, and who knows, maybe the offense can put up a few runs. OK, that probably wont happen, but it would be nice.

[Butterscup1679666578]

great outing marshall. too bad you're gonna get the ND

[coldsteel]

Goodness gracious, the wild man Marmol is up. Score some runs! Hurry!

[Schwarber Fan]

Well, lets just nail down the win.

 

I'm have full confidence Gregg will blow this one though.

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[Vanilla Ice]

I think its funny that in the last page. People talk about how 3 different arms out of the bullpen are going to give up runs. Yay 2009 Cubs

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gload, pinch hitting for Volstad, walked

[Little Slide Rooter]

Will Carlos ever throw another strike? Stay tuned.
