Cubs need to pretend Milton is still on the Reds and go to work on this clown.

 

Which probably means he goes 7 scoreless.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Milton is gonna own us for however long he'll be out there

 

So we're gonna need a good outing out of Marshall again. Poor guy, he should have a guaranteed spot already in the rotation.

Woot, i'm quoting myself in arrogance

It might be time to downgrade this season's expectation from 2004 status to 2005 status

 

hello roller coaster .500 season and 3rd or 4th place

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot grounded an IF single to shortstop

Last time the CUBS were held to 4 hits in a game.... Sun 24 May 09 (4 hits) in a 7-2 loss at San Diego

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Another brutal third strike swing.

Why is it that when Soriano has 2 consecutive bad games in the #3 spot, he is immediately moved back to leadoff, yet when he has 2 weeks of bad games in the leadoff spot it is never considered to move him elsewhere?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bradley singled to left field , Theriot to third
