    Is Coleman actually pitching tonight, or is he the one they called up in case Dempster gets traded?

    That can't be right can it? Cubs are now 38-53, 91 games played, 71 remaining. 13-5 is a 72% winning percentage. Winning 72% of their remaining games (again, LOL) puts them at 51-20 (stlil LOL) to close out the year. Combine that with the current record of 38-53 has them at 89-73 to end the season. Of course, they're trading away Dempster, Garza, Soriano, and anything else that isn't nailed down and cost controlled, so even if Rizzo, Castro and Samardzija are super human, it's highly unlikely.

    I don't think Derp is on the 40-man roster. An unprecedented move.
  4. bukie
    13 and 5 since Rizzo was called up. If the Cubs maintain that pace (LOL), they'll finish 89-73.

    I'd love to see them top this off with a Castro walk and a Rizzo HR. But it was not meant to be.

    Valbuena sac fly, all runners advance, 2nd and 3rd, 1 out for Maholm.
  7. bukie
    Bases loaded, none out for...Valbuena, Maholm and Johnson.

    What an odd thing to say just after Soriano homers on the 7th pitch of his AB. I only have access to game day and noticed both pitchers had low pitch counts so it was posted before I knew Soriano came to bat. And since then, Baker had a 5-pitch single and Soto a 6-pitch walk.

    what happened? Runner on third, Rizzo grounded to a drawn in infield, they caught Johnson in a rundown and Rizzo napping off 2nd on the play.

    When did the Marlins get a right handed Bryan LaHair?
  12. bukie
    How often has the Cub pitching staff allowed 0 walks in a game?

    He'd be the best defensive SS in the league by UZR, if the Cubs didn't already have the best defensive SS in the league by UZR.

    There's nothing wrong with being patient. The primary risk you run is that the player you're looking to deal gets injured before you can make the deal. But if they've got several bidders out there, the best case scenario is to let the bidding get as high as it possibly can before pulling the trigger.

    A Giants-Braves game that was 1-1 after 9 is now 9-4 in the 11th.

    Z today to Paul Sullivan: "You never change. You stay ugly."

    Plus, the Giants as an organization criminally undervalue youth and farm system, so for any deal to work favorably for the Cubs they'd have to be able to exploit that somehow.

    Little risk, but even littler reward. Velocity down, K rate down, walk rate up, already past his prime age. Volstad and Coleman are better options.

    From an ESPN.com chat this afternoon... Just from a random fan i know, but I found it odd to see Castro's name casually thrown out there like that. I don't even know that SF could put together a package worth dealing him Oh, they could, but they never would. I mean, I'd sell on a Bumgarner/Posey package, most likely. Which would totally defeat the purpose of the Giants trying to obtain him.

    The Marlins are 12/16 in NL attendance this year. I'm too lazy to look this up, but when has a team ever opened up a brand new ballpark in a major city and managed only to improve from dead last to 12th? Why does this team even exist?! Who's behing them? If I had to guess, in no particular order, Rockies, Astros, Padres, Pirates? That's awful that they have only seen that little of a spike in attendance Arizona, San Diego, Pittsburgh, Houston. Although, none of the attendance figures are glaringly bad in the NL this year with Houston last at just north of 22k a game (Oakland, Tampa and Cleveland are lower than that in the AL).

    Because he is constantly clueless as to the value of any player at any level at any point in baseball history.

    Article from Bruce Miles on who would start if/when Dempster and Garza get dealt: http://blogs.dailyherald.com/node/7006 Summary: if the Cubs don't get major league ready pitching in return...it'll get ugly fast.

    Pretty crazy that there are only three teams under .500 in the AL right now, plus only one is at .500. By comparison, three of the five teams in the NL West and three of the six in the NL Central are under .500. In addition, all the AL wild card hopefuls have come back to the pack in the last 15-20 games, so the second Wild Card leader is Detroit at 4 games over .500.
