4/5 Arizona (Enright) @ Chicago (Cashner) 1:20PM CSN

[Sammy Sofa]

Um, hi. Excuse me. Why is Reed Johnson playing for Fukudome?

 

He is? What the [expletive].

[Yeti]

i had to run out for a couple innings, has there been any word on Cashner?

[inari]

Damn it. Thought that was two for sure.

[Guest]

So close on the DP.

[UMFan83]

Were there any further updates on Cashner?

 

Just that his arm amputation surgery will be on Friday.

He's not he's in left for Soriano because he plays defense like my grandmother.

None.

 

And I think Roberts was out.

[CubColtPacer]

Um, hi. Excuse me. Why is Reed Johnson playing for Fukudome?

 

I guess to allow Marshall to pitch the 10th if need be?

 

That's what I'm presuming as well. Marshall would be up 5th in the bottom of the 9th otherwise and it would be hard to take him down at that point with only Grabow left.

I would assume to get the pitcher's spot in the order as far away as possible due to having no one left in the bullpen. If its for defense, one of us might have to pull a Tonya Harding on Quade because Fuku is better on D, especially in RF.

My mistake.

Yeah, double switch with the pitchers spot in the lineup, which was seventh after an earlier double switch.

[ctcf]

Come on, Sean.

He would've been leading off, wouldn't he?

Did he squeeze sawdust out of his bat and yell "this one's for mommy"?

[Rob]

Holy hell.

[Sammy Sofa]

HOLY [expletive].

[inari]

Nice to get the out but that was another supremely bad luck play. That would've been a double play if it got past Marshall.

 

I think, anyway.

Great play by Starlin to at least get an out. Very close play at first.

[illiniguy]

Is Stephen Drew hurt?

[OleMissCub]

eh, dude doesn't really have the skills to be an everyday shortstop
