Injury Update Thread

[neely crenshaw]

Don't think you'll have the same problem if you derail Stewart(not sure you can derail it at this point) or Barney.

 

Although if something happens to Barney and we are subject to an entire season of Lillibridge you could have trouble with Cub fans.

 

Anyway it was a nice break from what had been a pretty dismal beginning, had a little humor or an attempt at it. You can look at it this way, your thread loosened up everyone and got us a win last night...so here's to you- game MVP!

Sounds like Stewart is hitting in bad luck again...

:D That thread from last year was hilarious. Some posters hung onto that thought all season long.

 

Jesus Christ.

 

No, Jesus is fine. He was off the 3 day DL on March 31. Amazingly no worse for wear on what looked like a really bad "upper body" injury.

 

0.0/10

 

I thought it was pretty funny. Its like 3 witty jokes rolled up into two sentences. Whats not to like?

usually im against these jinx-ass threads, but since i hate most of this roster ... you have my blessing.

 

That's what I was thinking when I started this thread. I haven't forgotten UMFan's threads that derailed Prior and Wood's careers.

 

If I ever come across Prior in person, I'm convinced he's going to punch me in the face.

 

you misspelled treymon

Why would prior punch you in the face?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I've always assumed he punches everybody in the face.

@CarrieMuskat: #Cubs Barney will get stitches out Friday, then play at AAA Iowa Sat thru Mon

[jersey cubs fan]

will lillibridge be DFA on Tuesday?

[biittner77]

will lillibridge be DFA on Tuesday?

 

Why wait until Tuesday?

[neely crenshaw]

He continues to play over Gonzalez though...worries me slightly. Anyone else feel we would be better having wood or samardzija hit instead of lillibridge?

[sneakypower]

no

[Hairyducked Idiot]

As much as I enjoy all the Lillibridge bashing, in the long run he is still better than Gonzalez.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Just call up Stephen Bruno. He could probably hit better than both of them.

[Cubswin11]

I'd rather give Watkins a chance and he'd likely get it over Bruno as he's already on the 40-man

no

 

a bit of joke there, not really looking for a real answer to it. Of course even a bad major league position player is better. It just alludes to idea of how poor he has been.

and i think he was just alluding to how poor that dead horse of a joke "haha, could hit better than " is

[Hairyducked Idiot]

To be fair, before today, the Cubs really would have been better off with one of us taking Lillibridge's PAs.

Fuji on the Down Low

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Remember when we'd done a ton of research on keeping pitchers healthy and that was going to be a new Moneyball-style edge?

 

I'll file that one away with "controlling the strike zone" and "parallel fronts."

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Feldman is going to be skipped his next start with back issues.

[neely crenshaw]

Fujikawa out also. We get Dolis back....

It's not all bad; maybe that gigantic file cabinet will fall on you.

[neely crenshaw]

At least he didn't call him Feldy...
