08/20 CUBS (Gorzelanny) @ Los Angeles (Weaver) 9:10 CDT, WGN

[UMFan83]

lol, I think Guzman was brought in for the 6th inning of a tie game solely to get Manny Ramirez out. Failed.

[cubstitlelives]

And Hendry signed Miles for 2 years, 5m. :rotfl:

[UMFan83]

So Gorzellany had retired 10 straight and was pulled after 5? :cry:

 

Well yeah, when you get a chance to put Aaron Miles up with a runner in scoring position, you gotta do it.

[Derwood]

Miles' OPS+ was 20 coming into that at-bat

[Andy]

I know it's dumb to even bring it up, but Gorzo's OPS as a Cub is about twice what Miles's is. (.900 vs .462)

Lou has a plan

[Soonernation]

Why is Miles still on this team? Cut his worthless ass and bring Blanco back to play SS when Theriot needs a rest

[PrimeTime]

It is blasphemy and a disgrace to all of humanity that Aaron miles makes 2.5 mil a year

[Derwood]

Miles' Own% is .107. HOLY CRAP :-)) :-)) :-))

Is Blanco off the "DL" yet?

[Prizefight]

Yea, the Miles thing did it for me. I'm going to not stay up for one of these this week and get some sleep.

 

GL all, far braver than me

[Sammys Boombox]

I absolutely hate watching this team play like this and then flipping over to Cardinal blowouts. 2 runs off Weaver?

[Derwood]

at least Torre is giving us free outs

[Careless]

What the hell? That ball stopped moving on the second bounce

[chuckywang]

Literally nothing good has happened since Miles entered this game.

[cubstitlelives]

It's almost to the point where Lou is sending Miles up there to embarrass Hendry for signing him. Kinda like: "Thanks for this team, Jim".

[UMFan83]

Seriously, if I went out and robbed a bank tonight, I would be more deserving of the money I stole than Aaron Miles.

[Careless]

Good play, Guz, sort of

[mlarner]

That was awesome, he wanted to go to 3rd so bad.

No idea, but even if he can't throw or hit i think he would be better than Miles; i don't ever recall seeing a worse player in all the years i have watched the Cubs

[UMFan83]

That's the second time in 1.5 weeks that there was a play at 3rd on a bunt and there wasn't a 3B there to cover the bag. What a stupid team.

[apete6]

There is pretty much no reason to believe that the Cubs will make the playoffs in the next 2 seasons unless they approach a Yankees-level payroll or Soriano is unable to play and insurance covers his contract. Thanks a lot, Jimbo, I hope Aaron Miles and Soriano are giving you sponge baths when you are in a mental institution after being run out of town.

[Soonernation]

Literally nothing good has happened since Miles entered this game.

U mean nothing good has happened since he came off the DL, right?

[mlarner]

Aramis was cracking up
