  1. Colvin doesn't look like he's gonna be an awful backup at 1B. He hasn't had to dig any throws out of the dirt today though.
  2. .196 BABIP last year. He's about the easiest candidate for a bounceback in the entire league.
  3. No [expletive] injury threads.
  4. 5th. He did pretty well given the circumstances.
  5. Damn. Oh well, two run lead. Let's hope Russell can get through the 8th.
  6. Hard to get excited about it when apparently he has said he doesn't like to walk (don't have a quote on it... heard it somewhere along the way in the ~50 hrs of sports radio I hear a week). Even if he's just taking pitches for the sole purpose of finding a good pitch to hit, I'm fine with that.
  7. Soriano coming up with the bases juiced, and then it's the pitchers spot. Think Pena takes the at bat if we make it there?
  8. Colvin has been really patient today. Love seeing that.
  9. Yeah, Mateo was getting squeezed. I'm not ready to throw in the towel on him and Russell just yet.
  10. Marshall didn't pitch on Sunday so he's only thrown 6 pitches in the last 2 days. He'll be available for a while if the Cubs need. From what Quade said about yesterday's game, he was planning to pitch Mateo/Grabow/Marshall today anyway. Glad to hear I'm mistaken.
  11. Well, I'd have to imagine Wood and Marmol are unavailable today. Marshall had a shortened outing yesterday, but it was his third day in a row as well. Looks like this is up to Samardzija, Russell, Mateo, and Grabow.
  12. From exciting to depressing in the course of one mound visit. Damn.
  13. And that's why we keep seeing Castro trying to make these plays... because sometimes he can.
  14. And the Cubs are taking advantage of it. And an Aaron Heilman sighting. Apparently he was in the running to start for the Diamondbacks. Let that sink in. Mind-bottling. It's not that crazy-Braden Looper was in the run for the Cubs job after all. Heilman could be one of those guys who could have been a mediocre reliever or a mediocre starter in the league. Looper was in the running in the sense that if he showed up in camp and magically started shooting laser beams out of his fingertips and Cashner and Silva had a slapfight (over Silva eating Russell and Coleman alive) that ended up with both of them needing TJ surgery, then Looper might have been the 5th starter.
  15. Glad to see the offense giving Cashner a cushion.
  16. Add - Carlos Pena Drop - Evan Longoria I don't suppose I can just tell you to reverse that add/drop when Longoria comes off the DL, can I?
