So I noticed Jeff Gray has 3IP at Iowa so far this year (meaning he's over his injury), how long until he gets called up? As he seemed like a pretty solid lock to make the bullpen out of ST before the injury.

 

We need him bad. Who goes down when he comes up? Shark or Caridad?

 

Ideally Shark.

 

Ideally both, with 1 of our actually good arms replacing the other

 

I don't really have a problem with Caridad staying up if he's used in more low leverage situations in the meantime. The problem is is that this offense isn't giving the bullpen anything but high leverage situations, so really been no room for that kind of strategy right now. I'd say bring up Stevens as well as Berg, but I'd almost rather Stevens stay down and keep getting starts if the offense continues to look like crap.

Um, Berg is already up.

Whoops, meant to say Gray.

I'll be at this game. First time I've ever gotten to 'enjoy' a home opener. I hope it goes better than the balance of the season thus far has.

If I were you I would just go sit in the corner.

I really like that lineup. We will still only score 2 runs, but it's a good lineup.

Would Piniella make a change in left?

 

"We'll see what happens," he said. "I'm going to go home and think about it.

 

Don't hurt yourself Lou

 

Sounds like a complex managerial strategy. I think Lou might be on to something. :shock:

WTH!?!?!? WGN is no longer part of Directv's basic package? Seriously? How is that even possible?

There's never anything good on WGN?

 

WAIT! You mean Maury's not going to be on today? Hmmm, the Cubs have some serious pull!

Seriously, I can't recall watching anything other than a Cubs game on WGN for at least a couple of years now. Is anybody watching?

 

my 10 yr old son really enjoys stupid home video shows, which seem to dominate non baseball WGN programming

I've been saying for the last two or three years that WGN is one of the most useless channels during the offseason.
