According to the Sun-Times Twitter, Gorzo will join the Cubs tomorrow and start on Tuesday in Cincinnati.

Meh. I'd rather have Marshall join the starting rotation and have Gorzo replace him in the bullpen, but this makes sense. Marshall definitely isn't stretched out at this point.

Fox is in there? Omgwtf you can't play both catchers at once!

 

I heard Jose Hernandez is our emergency catcher

 

Seriously though, who is the emergency catcher? I remember hearing it was Theriot at one point. Not that it matters but just curious.

Wells or Marmol.

Wells or Marmol.

 

I'm almost certain it's Miles, but he's on the DL obviously.

 

ETA: of course Wells and Marmol are both converted catchers, so you are right in Miles' absence.

[mikeyt34]

Wells or Marmol for emergency catcherl? Hmm... Personally, if it got to that point I would hope Lou would just look down the bench and find the least important player still availible rather than risk injury to Wells or Marmol. Or call Bob down from the booth.

[coldsteel]

No Fuld in the lineup? BORING. Oh well, go Cubs win.

[mikeyt34]

Ok boys just pretend you are still at Wrigley. ;)

[mikeyt34]

Still a 10 pitch at bat by Fukie. Now that ladies and gentlemen is how you bat lead off.

[Andy]

Looked like Aramis winced a bit on that 2nd play but he seems fine.

[Flames24Rulz]

What do you know, Fontenot screws something up again.

FONTICANT!

 

Seriously, that was a great throw and should've been an easy out.

[mikeyt34]

23 pitches in the 1st for Harden. Not good, but better than giving up any runs. Hopefully he can cut that down and go 5 or 6 tonight.

He was doing a great job with his pitch count before that should have been CS.

[Andy]

Pitchers just destroy the Cubs at the plate. It's unbelievable.

[E.J.]

Jesus. It's the pitcher Harden. He was batting .086

[mul21]

They just showed Harden striking out Uggla on MLBN and Harold Reynolds says "He's just nasty when that slider is on". Um, HR, he doesn't throw a slider. Do your homework moron.

Is it truly not to be believed?

[Flames24Rulz]

That [expletive] always happens to us.

[E.J.]

Ugh. Are you serious?

[Andy]

And Cody Ross makes a ridiculously good play to steal three bases from Fontenot. Great.

[bcl412]

They can demolish this park now.

[E.J.]

It's apparently going to be one of those nights.
