They said Z won't pitch out of the pen until Friday though.

Ah, you are correct. I have been very busy all day and haven't been able to get the specifics. Will change it.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Can Soriano and Soto stay hot vs. Santana?

[weis21]

Keep up the good work eb14play2

 

Go Cubs!

Probably going to not be in the thread tonight. Sister-in-law is most likely going to be making me an uncle tonight.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'd be surprised if we score a run this game.

Theriot's in LF, Byrd is catching, and Jaramillo is playing 3rd.

They're just standing around, Butts!

Congrats! Being the "cool" uncle is the best.

Cubs score 3 off Santana and 2 off the pen.

 

Gorz is solid and Cubs win 5-3.

Haha. Always love a Little Giants reference.

Cubs announce Ramirez to bench to "bolster the pinch hitting roster." "This is not a panic move, and makes all the sense in the world," says Lou.

[Soul]

ARam gets his rest.

So whats the over/under on Chad Tracys release date? He sure as hell isnt hitting the ball, and the main reason for having him was to spell Ramirez and Lee every now and then. If He isnt doing either, theres really no purpose to keeping him around, and as a minor league invite, we dont stand to lose anything. May as well bring up Barney, Hoffpauir, Fuld, Snyder, or whoever.

This lineup should strike terror into the hearts of National League pitchers everywhere......

So whats the over/under on Chad Tracys release date? He sure as hell isnt hitting the ball, and the main reason for having him was to spell Ramirez and Lee every now and then. If He isnt doing either, theres really no purpose to keeping him around, and as a minor league invite, we dont stand to lose anything. May as well bring up Barney, Hoffpauir, Fuld, Snyder, or whoever.

 

OK, Hoff makes some sense, but why the [expletive] would you replace him with Barney, Fuld or Snyder?

Snyder makes some sense. Former 1st round pick, had a good season in Iowa last year who is having a hot start this year. Barney contributes so little until Fontenot shows he cannot handle backup SS. Hoffpauir isn't really an option as he has started just like he played all of last year and Fuld is redundant and off to a bad start.

 

As for Tracy, I know he's looked bad. It's only been 8 at-bats though. If there was somebody really knocking on that roster spot it would be one thing but right now there's no real need to not wait a little longer.
