Maybe Castro will be successful today.

Shark's getting babip'd to death.

we suk

[Little Slide Rooter]

Castro's a bad week away from a sub .600 OPS, so we have that going for us.

[Epsteenie]

I hate Pedro Alvarez

Corey Patterson is available.

[bcl412]

I don't think we're going to sweep them.

[Sammy Sofa]

God, this season is barely two months old.

[Cubswin11]

Can we make up an injury for Castro to go away for 2 weeks and hope he figures something out? Hamate Bone Injury sounds made up enough....

Just go with the standard light hamstring pull.

[Sosa21MVP]

Today my dad turned 83. I hung out with him to watch the game on the dish. He actually remembers quite well the 1945 World Series. Not much more to say but he has always hated the Yankees and one of his fondest memories is watching a Yankees-White Sox game at old Comiskey and seeing a hungover Mickey Mantle lose a ball in the sun...he enjoyed that a lot.

 

Go Cubs.

Or the team could give him an actual day off for once.

That's awesome. I wish I had an older relative with that kind of memory of positive historical Cubs moments (positive in that they made the World Series). I just have a couple that bitch about 1969 all the time

If things do end up working out under Theo and we win one, I hope he is around to see it. That would be awesome. He keeps asking me when they will be good again. Preaching patience to a man his age doesn't play as well. :wink:
