Straily gets his Cubs debut while the Cubs face off against the player they're going to trade all there top prospects for, according to Mets fans. Edited August 16, 2014 by sweetpeteman

Lake optioned to Iowa to make room for Straily. I think as long as he comes up within 20 days (and with roster expansion, he can if they want), it doesn't burn the last option.

 

But will there be 40-man space for him?

Nice play there by Mendy.

[George Hayduke]

Nice catch by Alcantara.

[treebird]

that guy they showed at the beginning of the last inning was basically exactly how i picture goony.

[George Hayduke]

Straily's done. Seems like he pitched better than what his line says.

[TruffleShuffle]

Alcantara is making me sad.

[George Hayduke]

Castillo with a pretty nice bat flip on the infield single there.

[Sammy Sofa]

So Niese was almost just killed.

I thought that was off of his face at first.

I yelled at my TV and was expecting to see him sprawled out on the mound.

 

Why the fudge did Castillo not score on that fly out?

[Sammy Sofa]

Astonishing hitting by the top of the lineup.

[George Hayduke]

Ughhhhhhhh.

[Gilby]

Thought for sure Javy was going to hit a sac fly and go a few weeks with a lower obp than batting avg.

[Cubswin11]

Is Javy still eligible to go to the AFL

[treebird]

if we're giving valbuena a couple days off to get his head right during this slump, we probably shouldn't also let him make the last out of every game.

Some call them... the Chicago Kubs
