Whenever Barney comes off the DL (this weekend/next week I think) the corresponding move to make space better be to DFA Brent.

Sick play by Valmala

[Cubswin11]

You're allowed to us your glove, Rickie

[Hairyducked Idiot]

DeJesus is this year's Marlon Byrd?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

DeJesus is this year's Marlon Byrd?

 

No. He will be fine. He's too solid not to come out of it.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Any time the Cubs get two runners on in an inning, I pretend that's like other teams scoring a run.

 

It feels better that way.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I really want to see someone on this team lose their cool over all the losing early. Bats need to be applied to boomboxes.

[bcl412]

I don't feel like we've gotten a pitcher out this year.

Playing baseball is hard

[Cubswin11]

The good news for Brent is that schools are out in about 1 1/2 months so he should have no time signing on with a little league team

[Hawk4Hall]

He's worse that Rey Ordonez was because at least Rey had a glove.

[TruffleShuffle]

send lillibridge to a gulag.

[Andy]

Two runners on base! Score another one for normal teams.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Two runners on base! Score another one for normal teams.

 

I feel we have a couple runs now tonight.

 

Success!

[dfnowak]

Is Peralta any good? I thought he was rated top 100 prospects at one point.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Is Peralta any good? I thought he was rated top 100 prospects at one point.

Is Peralta any good? I thought he was rated top 100 prospects at one point.

 

He has got some promise and upside. His control is still pretty bad at times.

 

I don't think he can ever be a No. 2 for a good team.

[Schwarber Fan]

Every game, the Cubs give up base runners to pitchers. It's unreal.

I've become much more frustrated that we can't score off them.

[Sosa21MVP]

This team is already depressing to watch. Yes, I'm about to go all Aramis Fan up in here. [-(

I've pretty much been doing that but, good God, we've waited a long time for baseball and this is not the greeting I wanted.

[bcl412]

Score morons.

I know. They could at least pretend to be mediocre or barely below average for a month or two.

[DiamondMind]

lillibridge is [expletive] insufferable

 

0 for 17

Yeah, for some reason I've gotten really angry really, really early this season.

 

I'm pathetic, yes. But I'm also angry.
