    We are in a pennant race, so playing through slumps is out the door this year. You either produce or you don't play. Floyd's July line of .324/.343/.667 suggests Lou doesn't really buy into that. Nor does the fact that JJ's terrible 3 months bought him a lot of time in July (though he's produced during that time). Lou & JH seem to allow veterans to attempt to play their way out of slumps whereas young kids get shipped to AAA. Floyd's July line? 35 AB's-and now they are bringing up Murton to possibly take away some of his at-bats. That's similar to how Pie struggled for 50 AB's and they replaced him, Izturis had about the same, about the same for Theriot, etc. Jones has only got so many chances because he has been "the other guy" many times. Pie struggles in his first callup, Jones becomes "the other guy". Jones struggles, and Pie gets called up again. Pie struggles, and Jones takes it again. So what's the difference between the two? Agreed. The whole Lou and Hendry don't give rookies a proper shake is not entirely fair.

    Meh. I wouldn't take that quote too seriously. I'm guessing it's just a tactic to try and lower trade demands. Hendry will make at least 1 more trade before the deadline. It might not be a big trade, but he's going to add someone. Agreed, Hendry never shows his cards. I can't remember the last time he made a trade that I saw coming, other than the ill-fated Juan Pierre trade. The ones that I can think of, off the top of my head: Kendall, Nomar, A-Ram... all kind of just came out of nowhere. Unless the Trib disconnects his phone for money reasons, I think he's going to swing a trade for someone. Personally, I'd like to see him add another right-handed starter, and push Marshall into the 'pen so we at least have one reliable lefty in there... I don't want to stunt Marshall's development for the sake of adding a good lefty to the pen. If they want that, they should call up Piggy. Otherwise, Marshall hasn't given any reason he shouldn't pitch every 5th day. It's a right hander named Jason that's given us a reason to doubt him. Agreed leave the rotation alone. Hell, it's number 2 in the NL right now.

As has been said before, if you bench a guy in a slump, you're not going to get the hot streak that will come in the future. I'm still waiting for Kendall hot streak. Or was that last night?

    Was this confirmed? Its what the Iowa manager said in his post game. Now whether or not to believe him....... Ahh...Did he give details on the injury?

    You are taking this waaaayyy to seriously. It's just fun to compare...Don't read too much into it.

    I'm not feeling ya. Seems to me like a straight forward comment.

    C'mon Kerry stay in one piece for the final couple of months!

    He wrote this at 1:15 am, well after the Iowa game was over. That might be my bad. I sent him an email around 11 pm central telling him what was going on, and that there had been no indications of an injury to that point. I just can't see Jim trading Pie unless it's a blockbuster. He value's him too highly.

    He wrote this at 1:15 am, well after the Iowa game was over. I take it we should probably just assume Will is mistaken here...? :) Why?

    Bad feeling about this game and the series. Rich Hill will get lit up tonight. Cubs lose 8-1.

    Kendall is going 2/4 and driving in 3 runs. BOOK IT!

    That's why I'm a little disappointed that we face them to end the season in what could be very big games. I'll be there for at least one of those games. yeah i still remember how they (and latroy) crapped all over our 2004 team in september Dusty didn't help much etiher. I have no doubt if Lou was the manager in 2003 we would've went to the WS.

    This team reminds me of the 1989 team.
