Told you idiots (Cubs) not to let him start another game.

At what point do Cabrera's teammates get fed up with his lack of production and accountability?  I guarantee there are a lot of guys in the lineup with various aches and pains that have accumulated over the course of the season, but you don't hear them immediately offer up excuses for an 0-4 performance at the plate.

I feel bad for Assad.  He just keeps doing his job on the mound and gets sent down because he has options.  If I were the Cubs I'd give the guy a nice bonus after the season as a thank you.

Simply cannot allow Cabrera to blow another game up.  Sure the offense sucked too but this Cabrera character ain’t it.  I’d much rather throw Assad.

I wonder if the blister puts him back on the IL.  It didn't sound that serious though. 

At least the other SP's get an extra day off rest I guess.  Important in the summer heat I'd wager.

Guys like Palencia, Milner sound close to returning.  Some decisions may have to be made.  Would be a shame to cut anyone.

Shut him down for the season 

And what about all the other starts this year, Edward?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I bet he gets one more, which would be against the Mariners, who have been terrible offensively and play in a great park to pitch in. If he can't get it done there, I'd imagine it's back to the IL or the bullpen.
