I don't think it's being unrealistic. With Font and DeRo doing so well and having Theriot on the bench I believe it makes Izturis expendable. I can see it being the next move the cubs make. you're assuming that we have a competent GM who is willing to admit his mistakes We traded Jones for almost nothing. This is an implied apology of sorts.
Not much if the Cubs don't ride the momentum to victory today. Not true. If the Cubs lose today, it's just a snag following a 4-game win streak, but if Sori pops out to end the game yesterday, a loss today would be a momentum-building slide down a steep slope following that 6-run 9th. I stand corrected. Although a win today and a loss yesterday says that the cubs can overcome adversity....something that they don't do often. True, there'd just be that much more pressure on them today. Overcoming adversity in the bottom half of the inning was much more fun anyway :D Agreed.
MLB Gameday has Petrick as an available pitcher, and Jones as an available bench player and Demp still on the (26-man) roster. THey know as much as we know.
I heard it on the espn1000 on the way home Soriano LF Fontenot SS Lee 1B Ramirez 3B Floyd RF DeRosa 2B Hill C Pie CF Lilly P Alright! Here's hoping Izturis was released along with the trade of Jones. Are you high? Do you have a Fn problem? Are you high? Take it easy. I was just kidding. I also hope Izzy is gone. Sorry. No problem.

It's official. Lou said that Petrick would be there tonight in a clip they play on the Score. Since Jones hasn't officially been traded, is Demp going to the DL?
We've heard that it's a lefty from low-A Greensboro, so if that's true, it eliminates Ungs. So that then leaves Tom Cowley (age 23) - 65.1 IP, 3.31 ERA, 49 K/18 BB Avi Rasowsky (age 24) - 19.1 IP, 5.59 ERA, 20 K/7 BB Cowley please, I guess.
Any idea what West's injury is? He hasn't pitched all season long. Arthroscopic shoulder surgery, he's out for the season. In that case, welcome to the cubs, sean west.
We probably got stuck with Rasowsky. Stuck? 20 k's in 9 innings isnt that bad... 19.1 IP ahhhh. That changes things a bit. still, thats over a k per inning. In A, not AAA.
This probably means Demp to DL since the trade won't be finalized in next hr. Don't play jones today. What incentive does he have to not screw us over?
