[muntjack]

Ok, I'm getting to the point where I don't care who he replaces.

[Andy]

Get that man a lineup spot!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ok, I'm getting to the point where I don't care who he replaces.

Can he play 3B?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome grounded out to second, 4-3

[NotSoSober]

More ABs for Colvin, please. Especially since Byrd is in a funk right now

[wastra]

Okay...maybe, just MAYBE, it's time for Tyler to start playing more, Lou.

[Ballgame64]

At what point will Lou actually bench an ice cold Marlon Byrd and give Colvin a chance to play? I'm not looking for a permanent thing, but Colvin deserves more playing time. Edited May 28, 2010 by Ballgame64

[Irrelevant Dude]

Okay...maybe, just MAYBE, it's time for Tyler to start playing more, Lou.

Don't you dare suggest that. It isn't not about playing time. It is about winning ballgames! Everyone knows that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

 

They'll never come back only getting 2 outs per innings.

 

So true !!

[Friendly Confines]

I know Castro really has struggled with the breaking balls, especially low and away, but I am very excited about the future potential having Colvin and Castro in a Cubs uniform for a long time.

 

Maybe we can pick up some other "C" guys and turn it into some creative pun. Unfortunately, I can't think of any players who's last name starts with C nor can I think of anything creative.

I cannot believe that Tyler Colvin doesn't suck.

Stevens in to pitch for the CUBS

[PrimeTime]

Lou's response to Colvin getting more playing time is " I don't wanna talk about that, you know what I wanna talk about? Winning baseball games"

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ryan popped out (foul) to first base

[Ballgame64]

Silver linings...Russell was really good, Colvin produced in his one chance and Howry's ERA plummeted to 9.18.

 

Ok the last one has a little sarcasm in it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Carpenter struck out swinging

[Irrelevant Dude]

Silver linings...Russell was really good, Colvin produced in his one chance and Howry's ERA plummeted to 9.18.

Considering that the wind probably saved Howry from giving up a home run and a double, let's call it bronze.
