LOL @ using Ramirez here

 

ridiculous

 

but I guess it doesn't matter.

 

*runs away*

[Ballgame64]

Mark it down - the epic comeback to win the division has started!!!

 

 

 

Ok, I'm kidding. But it is nice to see them string together a few hits and then get a home run. Not many innings like this one in 2010.

[98navigator]

Wow that was fun. :D

LOL. I love this stuff. Happens to all of us.

Parra had DeWitt in an 0-2 hole after making him look stupid on two curveballs. One more probably gets him out of the inning with a 3-2 lead, but instead he throws a splitter and it's 7-3. I love baseball.

I'm always amazed that a guy with a decent singing voice who hears that song every day can be so bad at singing it.

[98navigator]

I love Castro. He was safe; that "tag" looked to be between his hands not on either one.

[janie]

Too much optimism in this thread!

[98navigator]

Hit the bricks LaToy. That was totally intentional. It looked to me like he was aiming at Sori

It's just one game in a season of suck.

[erik316wttn]

The Cubs are winning?

 

Are they allowed to do that?

[Tryptamine]

So Lou let Z hit even though he was replaced with Marshall? Apparently Lou has no interest in letting Kosuke and Fontenot see the field again.

[Guest]

I can't wait to watch Castro in person next weekend.

[wekim81]

If Z's pitching 5 days from now on Monday, then why not have him go at least 2 innings today, get 30+ pitches in (instead of 17), and start stretching him out some?

Have you been witness to this season? Don't ask logical questions, you'll end up with a flat forehead.

Good game, Castro

[Tim M]

Castro has to be the best Cubs position prospect in recent memory. Who else is even close?

Soto may be close, but Castro has the far higher ceiling.

[janie]

Anyone think they will still find a way to blow it?

Starlin Castro OPS: .823

Tyler Colvin OPS: .854

Jason Heyward OPS: .835

 

I know there is more to a player than OPS, but a strong case for ROY can be made for both Castro and Colvin right now.

Heresy.

 

Welcome to the show Mr. DeWitt.

Careful, just mentioning his name will send certain posters into a rage.

I give it to the youngest player in the majors playing the defense first position. By the way, Castro now has the third highest OPS for all major league shortstops with at least 275 ABs, behind only Tulo and Furcal. His .318 BA is the second highest in the NL among all players with 275 ABs as well.

I'd rank those

 

Castro

Heyward

Colvin

 

Garcia deserves it over all of them though. Posey too
