  1. From exciting to depressing in the course of one mound visit. Damn.
  2. And that's why we keep seeing Castro trying to make these plays... because sometimes he can.
  3. 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.
  4. Glad to see the offense giving Cashner a cushion.
  5. 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?
  6. 2 Walks, Barney singled. People following on GameDay are going to be really confused, all it says is Fuku walks, Barney scores, Hill to 3rd. Whatever happened, it broke ESPN's game center thing. For those that didn't see, Montero tried to pick Koyie Hill off 2nd base after ball 4 and it got into center field.
  7. I love Castro. Sucks Fukudome got thrown out, but it wasn't a bad attempt.
  8. Cubs hitters seem to be seeing Enright well. 4 batters and 4 well-hit balls so far.
  9. Because that approach worked so well with Corey Patterson. Dusty was actively trying to change Corey from a power guy to a "slap the ball on the ground and use your speed" guy.
  10. I fully expect him to be. It seems very Cubs to make sure the rookie pitcher has a veteran defense-oriented catcher behind the dish for his starts.
  11. Glad to see Cashner get off to a good start.
  12. Is Beltran a RF now? I know they moved him over to keep him healthy, but are his days over in CF? Even still, shifting Fukudome over to center and calling up Jackson late in the season to split time and ease him in would make this club better. But are the Mets really interested in letting Beltran go? And Reyes has no interest in moving to 2B, does he? I know Alderson isn't pleased with his OBP, but do you really seem them parting ways? Reyes is a FA after the season. If the Mets are out of it (and they will be), he should be available. Whether he'd be willing to play 2B is another question. He did it earlier in his career, but I don't know how he feels about it now.
  13. I don't like seeing Hill in the lineup more than anybody else. I do like seeing he's batting 8th though.
  14. Butterfly effect, man. Post the lineup 1 second too late and it changes everything. Who is to say it hasn't caused a strikeout or a dropped pop fly'?
  15. Vehemently disagree. What would I do with all my spare time? Pottery? Your third grade teacher tells me you made a hell of an ashtray.
  16. Sori is really timing his hits well. I can't imagine pinch hitting Johnson for Pena was a good idea.
  17. It doesn't take much power to make a SS stand out. 18-24 HR a year (along with his high batting average) would make him a media darling.
  18. Well, you can't go all year without an extremely frustrating bad-beat like this. Glad to get it out of the way so we wont have to deal with any more like that.
  19. In any important situation, I want Starlin Castro to bat.
