    Bad for us, good for Shark. He's pitching his nuts off and wants more. The Cubs should benefit in the end with what should be a good return.

    Yeah, if Alcantara can come up after the deadline and establish himself at 2B/CF, then it would help out for next year a lot. The key is adding a FA outfielder. Get a solid guy, even for the short term like Cruz or Markakis, and the Cubs have very few black holes in the lineup for the near future. Start the year with: 2B- Alcantara 3B- Valbuena 1B- Rizzo SS- Castro RF- Cruz/Markakis LF- Lake CF- Sweeney/Ruggiano C- Castillo By June, you could have: CF- Alcantara 2B- Valbuena 1B- Rizzo LF- Bryant RF- Markakis/Cruz SS- Castro 3B- Baez (still think he ends up at 3B rather than 2B) C- Castillo The latter is a lineup you don't dread anyone coming up, except when they are in a cold streak which Castro, Alcantara, Baez, and Castillo have all been prone to. What to do with Lake? Does some GM overvalue him? Could he bring back a nice package due to his contract controllability? The short answers to these questions are 'hopefully nothing important', 'no way in hell', and 'absolutely no way in hell'. So, no more meatball GMs you're saying? Somebody's gotta be stupid

    Glad to hear about Bryant - looking forward to seeing home tear up AAA

    Pitchers bats coming up nicely in this series so far...

    T Wood = Chuck Norris

    Wood can hit too. He's way too valuable to this anemic offense!

    Who closed it out? Got it...Russell..

    Neil's a bitch
  10. d_money
    Nice

    Sullivan did a piece on Soler today. He might be one of those guys that's always nursing an injury. I forgot about his size...6'4 and 240...what a load.
  12. d_money
    Ramirez warming up to close this one out
  13. d_money
    Gotta love seeing Jake snap off a bender consistently for strikes

    City of Cumpton

    Schlitter looks so uncomfortable in that uniform
  16. d_money
    Hope he keeps it up so he'll be gone by 7/31

    Is Olt getting buried on the bench? His pt has dropped, no? (Minus the fact he's sucked ass lately)
  18. d_money
    An so, apparently, can Junior Lake. Hates gonna hate. Why opposing pitchers don't follow the same approach for Lake as they used for Soriano of breaking balls low and away, I'll never know (but not complaining).
  19. d_money
    Did Lake try for an in the parker and out at home?
  20. d_money
    Wood with 3 RBI tonight
  21. d_money
    Really? A pie? Where's Garza?
  22. d_money
    Gnasty. Closer material.
  23. d_money
    Their little science project is getting old

    Schlitter looks like he could be on a Finding Bigfoot TV show
