If the Cubs are serious about making any attempt to compete this year, Aramis needs to be DL'd now. One could make the argument that he should have been put on the DL two weeks ago, but there is nothing that can be done about that at this point. A .162 average and .496 OPS are historically inept numbers, and we're not talking about a small sample size anymore (167 at bats). It is time to put him on the DL with the thumb injury, give him a week or so to heal up, then let him try to figure things out in a rehab assignment. Chad Tracy gives the Cubs the best chance to win right now (assuming that Fontenot plays 2B over Theriot). Part of the blame lies with Lou continuing to pencil Aramis into the cleanup spot and, along with a relapsed Derrek Lee, forming the weakest 3-4 combo in baseball, but Lee has at least shown some flashes. Aramis hasn't been productive all year and I'm tired of watching him fail.

The Cubs always seem to find a way to minimize their players' value before trading them for nothing... See Gorzellany, a cheap and potentially valuable commodity, who will most likely end up getting dealt for very little in return. -
This is going to make it all the more enraging when Russell gets sent to AAA in order to make room for Cashner, while Grabow continues to pitch in the 7th and 8th innings.

There's the hat trick.

Sad that it is the season high, or sad that 41,353 people had to watch the Cubs lay another egg? What do you think ? Both.

If only the Cubs had a 3B at Iowa who was tearing the cover off the ball...
-
It looks like the bad D-Lee is back again.

Dempster is really having trouble putting hitters away today.
-
When he gets anything more than a single, then we will have a story.
-
This whole Theriot over Fontenot every day thing is getting ridiculous. Has any reporter asked Lou about this lately? I don't know. That sort of question would be grounds for having your press pass revoked.
-
Hey Lou, is that you in the Cardinals dugout trying for a potential strike em out throw em out in front of Pujols?
-
Easier said than done, but if he runs straight through Molina there I don't think he would have had much of a chance to hang onto the ball and apply the tag.
-
Is it just me or have there been an unusually high number of shutouts and low-scoring games lately?
-
Technical Diffficulties... That was strange how they stole the TBS video feed for a few seconds there.
-
That is an amazing stat. No wins when they allow a first inning run.
-
Once again, why is Aramis batting cleanup??? Is it because he got a hit last time he played??? A screaming popup that was lost in the sun. Ahhhhhhhh!!!

Cashner being moved to the bullpen and may be called up
Irrelevant Dude replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It doesn't seem like it really taxed the bullpen much other than Russell who seems like he only pitches once a week anyway. Yeah, combine that with 7 innings from Silva yesterday and I don't think the bullpen has been taxed much at all. -
One more win tomorrow to win another series against a good team. With Pittsburgh, Houston, and Milwaukee coming up, we should be able to make a nice little run.

The "Cubs song" is the best song in the major leagues? Interesting.
-
Zambraaaaano That's annoying.
-
Catcher on first and pitcher up. Ideal time for a hit and run, right?
-
He's a triples machine!
-
Someone gave the Cubs the wrong scouting report. This is ridiculous.
-
Aramis is out of the lineup again due to his thumb. DL him already.
