    My guess would be Pagan. They said they want a 12th pitcher. It'd be too simple to get rid of Jones or Izzy. Fontenot's been red-hot, and Theriot has done his job (plus the squeeze bunt is helping him). Pagan has made baserunning errors and Derosa could be the 5th outfielder. Out of all the people that can be demoted, I think Theriot is on the hot seat (but the Cubs would prefer to trade Jones to make room). I don't see Pagan going because Lou views him as the best late inning defensive RF replacement. Pie isn't going down, even though he's struggled offensively, because he makes an impact defensively. Plus, Fontenot is red hot and has now supplanted Theriot and DeRosa as the starting 2B. That leaves the opening at SS and Izturis can't be optioned to AAA. That would mean that Izzy is our only SS. Izzy starting every day = ](*,) Ideally, it would be a 10 day situation; after which time Theriot could be recalled. 10 days of Izzy at shortstop is still torture. With the way Theriot is batting, it doesn't make much of a difference. Fontenot SS?

    I think that might hurt ratings....a lot. I dunno - he was saying that a bunch of gals stopped him near the clubhouse and would not let him leave before he took a pic with them. Perhaps Lou has The Cavorka. Hahaha I love the Cavorka episode.

    http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-070624cubsbits,1,6772354.story?coll=cs-home-headlines I think this quote about a "surprise" is much more about DeRosa than the 2B situation-especially since Lou had this to say about Fontenot: Good find. This sounds like nothing more than bad reporting by Muskat. Yeah that makes more sense. I'm still holding out hope for a trade, however.
  7. killthegoat06
    I agree. Demp hasn't been bad this year.
  8. killthegoat06
    A very solid closer.
  9. killthegoat06
    Or Derosa plays 2B. This is surprising because we are all expecting a surprise. :lol:
  10. killthegoat06
    Yea most likely.

    C'mon the Cubs are 7.5 games out of first. It's not like we are battling back and forth for first place. I am assuming the Brewers aren't even looking to this weekend as a 'big series' Not unless we sweep them. From what I've been hearing on local radio, they consider the Cubs to be the only team that could possibly stop them, and they definitely consider this weeked to be a big chance to put the dagger to us. Please no. Not the dagger.

    Same here. I had a perfect view down the first base line and still listen to Pat's call of the play on my ipod. I'm jealous.

    they have some tasty prospects...i would be all for that! Dream scenario: Zambrano to Mets for Martinez and Humber. Cubs re-sign Zambo during offseason after he punches Paul LoDuca in the face. That actually got me thinking. What stops a team like the Cubs from telling Zambrano that if he wants to be on a winning Cubs team, we'll trade him for good players and then he can sign with us in the offseason? Pride? Isn't that prohibited by the MLB? Trading a player with an arrangement to resign him in the offseason, I mean? Maybe, but how would they find out? :wink:

    +1 Raisin because I strongly dislike soccer.

    Props to Rocket for the cuter dog, but I love Jon's contributions to the Bulls threads.

    I'd be shocked if he went there only because I have read in several places that they won't meet Williams' likely asking price in terms of prospects. I'm still thinking Phillies. I would guess that the Phillies are gun shy trading pitchers from the Sox with the Freddy Garcia debacle. I wish we were gun shy trading players to the Marlins after D. Willis. Then there was Pierre...
  23. killthegoat06
    Haha yea me 2
