    I heard Lou on the radio after Colvin's first few games saying "We're probably gonna rest him the rest of the year." I have no idea what the logic was behind that decision.

    I'm honestly fine with either one of them as the 5th starter. We have 4 solid starting pitchers and Gorzellany, Smardzija, and Marshall to compete for the 5th spot. Barring any trades, the focus should really be on the offense and bullpen.

    Let me be the first to call BS on this one. I don't deny that racism still exists, but I can't possibly imagine a racial slur against a 3-year old kid.

    So you believe that Bradley taking himself out of the game Thursday and the lineup Saturday was completely due to injury? And someone just made up the story about him getting into an argument with Von Joshua about pinch-hitting?
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    I have a feeling that if the MLBPA pursues this and more facts come out, Bradley will look even worse than he already does. I seriously doubt that a grievance will be filed.
  6. Irrelevant Dude
    Is he though? What I've been hearing on the radio this morning is that Bradley took himself out of the lineup not because of an injury, but because he was upset with Lou double-switching him out the day before.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    How dare he question his playing time? Suspend that guy for the rest of the season!
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    Congratulations everyone. We did it!

    Sounded like Miller was messing with Morgan when he suggested 2B. I don't think it had anything to do with the previous story.

    :hello: Back to the bench you go tomorrow Fox! Scales, you're in!

    Injuries have been a convenient excuse, but this team hasn't played well even when fully healthy.

    It sucks that the Cubs are out of the race, but in some ways it makes these games more enjoyable. The past few years have been stressful and I have lived and died with every game, but now I'm able to just sit back and try to enjoy what is left of the season. This has been a fun game to watch.

    My Sunday night really needed an extra dose of Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.

    The Cubs will still lose this game, but I at least took some enjoyment in watching the Cardinals celebrating on the field and then waved off.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    Uhhh... yeah, I'd say so.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Is he a recent callup for you guys? He's been up for awhile, but used sparingly. He has shown decent stuff at times, but I'm surprised to see him in this situation.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Caridad? Whaaaaaaaaaa? Lou has gone off the rocker.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Now that's smart managing, made even better by the repeated shots of Lou with his book.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Miles for Fauwould? Why?
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    What, Cardinals fans boo too??? How dare they!
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    I really thought Colby Rasmus was the batboy.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Because the Cubs organization is intent on eliminating any value that Marshall may have had going into the season?
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Is this a paid or unpaid suspension? If unpaid, will the player's union be getting involved?
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    I would like to think that Hendry sat down with Bradley much earlier in the season to try to settle him down, but I doubt that ever happened. He waited to do anything until the team was virtually eliminated.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    you think those would be his numbers next year? they could be worse for all you or I know. More likely he'd suffer some season ending injury in the first week. they could be. But it's pretty clear that this season's numbers are an anomaly (only 2nd time in last 6 years to OPS under .800). That may be clear to you, but it isn't to me. Why should we assume that an injury-prone player in his 30's will return to his previous form? There's a decent chance that he will, but it isn't out of the question that his best years are behind him.
