Ramirez can learn something from Fukudome - Don't swing at crap.

Good thing tomorrow's game is early. I want to forget this one fast.

Reed Johnson to save us.

Yep. Howard is a beast.

Tough crowd...

your so funny but he would have made that play I swear to God, I do not understand the love for Cedeno. Just go with the flow here. He sucks less than Theriot.

Fukudome would've caught that.

In all fairness, righties do slightly better against him than lefties. yes, but this doesn't mean you bench one of your best hitters. With an off-day Monday, I hate the move of benching Fukudome.

and the Cubs continue to bail him out.

C'mon Truffle. Babe Ruth batted lefty. And in any case he hit far fewer homers off the Cubs than Burrell has. Truffle?

Does Fukudome need a day off?

Last year, Marquis delivered a CGSO against the Pirates at a time when the Cubs bullpen was taxed.

If you're not watching the Padres-Giants game, you're probably in New York with Extra Innings blacking it out.

Struck out each AB. They're saying he might go back to the minors. Ignore my last two posts...this is actually what happened. Except I hear they might just DFA him. Or trade him.

Plesac said something smart. "It's games like these that the Cubs were losing last year."
