Todd Walker. He's cheap, he gets on base, he takes pitches and he's functioned well in the role before. Screw the myopic "a leadoff guy has to be fast!" mentality the Cubs have beaten into the ground since Baker got here.
-
Rothschild's coaching could only be worse if he lined up all of the Cubs starters and shot them each in the head.
-
No, Cora the third base coach did. In the conext of the White Sox, that makes a lot more sense. I have no idea who the base coaches are for the Sox, and the original post made it sound like one of Ozzie's kids is named "Cora."
-
Forgive me if this has been up before, but Dusty has an "official" website?!? http://www.dustybaker.com/ Some of the highlights... http://www.dustybaker.com/images/Dusty%20Cub%20bat.jpg Dusty, dude...quit using all of your mojo on your video series! It's clearly on empty when you show up for the Cubs' season...
-
I like how Darren Baker is much of a non-entity in this story as his father is when it comes to onfield drama. OK, so let me get this straight...Ozzie's kid bit Jacque Jones? That sounds absolutely insane. Granted, it's Ozzie...but how is this not all over sports TV?
-
The Cubs certainly helped improve their former players. That was nice of them.
-
Man, I am simply sweltering under all these layers of improvement. Cubs are playing .500 baseball in their last 2 games! HIGH FIVE!!!
-
BRING ON BOROWSKI! Heh...so awesome. Between this and Ozzie slamming Hill, I'm enjoying other manager's reactions to the Cubs's suckiness more than anything else. -
Well played, Marlins...well played. They're sticking the Cubs' noses in it, and they should.
-
I'm honestly hoping they lose every single series for the rest of the year.
-
What about JI JIM THOME?

http://static.flickr.com/45/151576456_fd32c147f0.jpg The O RLY thing is [expletive] (sorry, but it is. IMO) but the look on Hairston's face in that picture is awesome! Haha, and this is my 5000th post. That almost redeems the entire "O RLY?" debacle.
-
he's also GIDP twice today. Hey, 2 GIDP and 1 HR is better than 3 GIDP. I'd be shocked if Armais doesn't get back up there once you get another big hitter in the lineup for him to hit after. That's just always going to be his role. If the Cubs play smart and surround him with Lees (Derrek and Carlos, if the latter is able to be picked up), I have little doubt he'll be the monster we've seen him be.
-
Remember how Juan Pierre hit that awesome triple in his first at bat for the Cubs this year? For that one moment, maybe everything was going to be OK? I wanna go back to that.
-
I think it was mentioned they wanted another decent player besides Hill, and the deal was never really very serious beyond the "hey, tossing it out there..." stages, if at all.
-
Jacque Jones has the only 2 Cub hit tonight. End it all now, please!
-
Damn, I liked my version better.
-
So who did we get giving up Van Buren, Koronka and Nolasco? A PTBNL, Bynum and Pierre? This organization is doomed for the forseeable future.
-
Marshall has zero control tonight...get him out of there!
-
Pierre better hit a frickin' grand slam. Marshall, Marshall, Marshall...time to hit the pine for today, kid.
-
yeah, surprisingly young pitchers don't very often go out there and dominate from the very start of their career. Surprisingly, a lot of them aren't as jaw-droppingly awful as Rich Hill. We get it...you don't like people picking on him.
-
Nope. Scouting reports are confusing, we don't use them. "Cubs Scouting Report: THE BIG YELLOW ONE IS THE SUN!!!!"
-
Sweet Jumpin' Jesus, what's up with Sean?!? This outing is downright Hill-esque...
-
So you go out of your way to defend Jacque Jones against the general perception of his mediocre career, but you're already maybe tossing Marshall under the bus? Damn. That's cold.
-
The only game that pumped his ERA up was the SF start. Everything else has looked pretty kosher. Coincidentally, the SF game was the first one where Sean couldn't have his good luck meal because of the early start. Hmmmmmm...
