[expletive], you post him destroying Molina or you don't post at all.

[Sammy Sofa]

The return of the Ted Lilly Fan Club? Oh, I hope so.

remember when lilly was almost part of the sosa trade to the yankees as a prospect?

[expletive], that lazy-eyed pyscho was easily one of my favorite Cubs of the last decade.

[USSoccer]

Ted Lilly is a great man, and the fact that he's back in all our lives is a treasure.

 

Its still [expletive] that he didn't pitch against LA in 2008.

I don't strongly disagree (the best way would've been for us to win a damn game) but I don't think I would've started him over anyone who actually started.

 

Were they gonna go 3 man or 4 man in that series?

I think he was set to pitch game 4, but I would have had him pitch game 1.

[Sammy Sofa]

Why the [expletive] is this called "Molina stands his ground?" Yeah, so he got the out...in every other sense he was destroyed.

This is the best news ever.

Renteria just used the term "high leverage situations" with regard to bullpen use. I'm pleased.

You have low threshold.

We are Cubs fans. And it's the offseason/preseason. Hard to hold the standards too high.

You do have a point. We have to take our victories where we find them. I just hope Renteria knows that a high leverage situation isn't the 9th inning with a 2 run lead and the 7-8-pinch hitter due up.

Harden [expletive]

[USSoccer]

I would have gone Lilly/Harden/Dempster/Lilly/Harden. But that's just me.

[Cubswin11]

I would have gone Lilly/Harden/Dempster/Lilly/Harden. But that's just me.

Wasn't there some injury concern with Harden that they didn't want him to go before game 3?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

It's safe to assume Harden was always dealing with some sort of injury, even when he was kicking the [expletive] out of everybody he pitched against.

Jason Parks joining B&B to talk about his report

[Thed Hoyerstein]

they were very cautious with him toward the end of the season, looks like he only had 3 starts and totaled 17 innings in september.

Random musing: Jim Abbott had two hits and three RBI in his life, all against the Cubs and off Jon Lieber.
