Is he on the 40 man?

I'm starting to get a really sick feeling in my stomache.

But...but he's our closer. That's what you do right? Throw your closer in the 9th no matter who's coming up. Right?

I agree. It's the same old, which is what many expected when he got hired only to be fooled by his bs lies during spring training. why wouldn't he start Floyd, or even Ward at 1B? on what planet would it ever make sense to bat Izturis 2nd? i really can't wait to see Floyd get run out into RF for a week straight so Lou can show him some "respect" now that he's complaining. good times. A lot of you have VERY short memories. This year, Piniella has already removed Izturis from the starting lineup for Theriot, demoted Eyre, removed Miller, moved Murton to right field, and given Wuertz a spot in the bullpen despite barely playing in spring training. I can guarantee you that none of those would have happened under Baker. I'm not quite sure what these "bs lies" were, but I haven't really seen him stray from his promise to play the people who produce. So he started DeRosa at first one game and batted Izturis 2nd. At least Izturis is hitting well, and we were facing a lefty which probably explains why Ward didn't play. With Dusty, we'd be seeing that lineup every day with Lee out, and Izturis would have been batting second the whole year. He's made some bad calls (putting Soriano in CF) but overall he has been MUCH better than Dusty Don't forget, he's also platooning Jacque. It's not like that's some great managerial move since anybody with half a brain would do the same thing. But it's better than what we had.

The premise behind you wanting to move Lee down to 5th is because he's not hitting homeruns. But then you suggest Jacque Jones for the 3rd spot. I just don't get it. Jones has 1 HR and 6 XBH's to Lee's 1 HR and 18 XBH's. It just makes no sense.

I say who cares if he was drinking or not. It's very tragic and very sad regardless.

It is really a shame...And I do believe it came from that collision with Giles. I think it all stems from that. The actual collision, or the staying in to pitch after the collision?

It's just so maddening every year to watch the Cubs continue to trot out bad lineups. How hard is it to play the best players on your team. Why do these managers just outthink themselves so much.

Has he had a good one since ST ended? lol, I'm just mad because he needed to be hitting to the right side. Wasn't there 1 out? Who cares what side he hits it to. Hitters should always be looking to advance the runner. There's no guarantee Blanco can score from 2B on a single... You can't predict the future, Lilly might have singled. It was a bad at bat by Izturis! With one out, the only thing he should be thinking about is advancing the runner to home plate.

He hung a fastball.

Could Joe Montoya be any more boring?

-- Bob DuPuy, MLB President / COO The self-imposed deadline set by the two sides has reportedly been removed and they continue to talk. Folks, by the looks of it.... we're going to have Extra Innings on cable. That last sentence is just speculation on my part, but like I said earlier: there is no way they would still be talking if things were not close. well, if it's going to happen i'd like for it to happen soon so i can order the damn thing. true dat

He's going to be so awful this year. Worst signing of the Hendry era...by far Yeah. Can you get me the final W/L record and team .slg% while you have the crystal ball out? Just want to make sure the games are worth watching this year. Don't wanna waste my time, ya know? 88-74 .447 slg%

This makes my stomache hurt.

He's falling behind every hitter.

This is getting ridiculous.
