Come on Carlos, you can get Former Cubs Superstar Casey McGehee
-
well....
-
Come on Carlos, Lilly deserves this W. Maybe the Cubs dont, but Lilly does.
-
There are a lot of teams out there who probably wouldnt mind Ryan Theriot in their lineup. However, theyd probably bat him 8th. You could do worse at the 8 spot than Ryan Theriot. I guess an AL team would have the luxury of batting him 9th. Hes better than Adam Everett I guess. Offensively anyway. Nick Punto too. OK, maybe hes not quite as good as Nick Punto. But hes better than Brent Lillibridge.
-
I guess thats better than 2 out 1st and 3rd and Theriot to the plate.

Dont forget Diamond 5IP 2H 0R 0W 8K Its been a good pitching day, and Lilly seems to be kjeeping it nup through 6. -
So is there anyone in the bunch worth getting excited over?
-
Great to see Theriot ground that 1st pitch to the SS after Lilly worked a 5 pitch walk.
-
Yeah. That's how I feel - I didn't like Colvin or Jackson and a lot of guys didn't like Cashner and all 3 of those first rounders have had success to this point. I did want Sale or Castellanos. Was Wilken responsible for Pawalek and Harvey? Just out of curiosity, what was the overall feeling about those 2 when they were drafted?
-
Dear God, no. I remember in the offseason some writers suggested the Cubs and Sox swap Z and Peavy straight up. I'd do it. Z gets to plan for his buddy Ozzie and Peavy gets to come back to the NL and sing Go Cubs Go at sports bars.
-
So we have the mighty Buccos and a below mediocre pitcher that to my knowledge weve never seen before. Good thing this is a day game so I dont have to experience the horror. Just bring on the draft and the inevedible fire sale.
-
So the main point of this thread is that despite all the dumb [expletive] Lou has done, since he played a backup catcher over his (hopefully just)slumping, starting catcher for a few games he should be kept around? Alright then.
-
Maybe its time Gorz reclaim his rotation spot. Its not like Wells is some proven star who deserves the benefit of the doubt.
-
Cubs win. Good for them. More Tyler Colvin please.

WTF Vitters. -
http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/06/piniella-may-bench-fukudome-and-soto.html If "the kid" refers to Colvin, Im all for it. As for Hill, Geo hasnt been of much use lately, but Ill take bad Geo over good Koyie Hill any day.
-
Does it really matter which way the Titanics deck chairs are arranged? If none of these guys can hit, who cares who bats 1st, 4th, or 8th? Lous completely checked out or Theriot wouldnt even be in the lineup and Ramirez certainly wouldnt be batting 5th. There are no answers at this point.
-
I guess it would be pretty Cub like to get embarassed by the likes of Ohlendorf, Karstens, and Paulino and then jump on Oswalt for 8 runs in 5 innings. Not that Im expecting more than a run or 2, and even thats being optimistic with this bunch.
-
I dont know, you sure sound mad to me. Personally, Im a bit more sickened and embarassed than I am mad. The only saving grace is that our "rivals" across town suck just as bad, if not worse so they cant talk smack.
-
What? About being sent to the pen. Be glad you're not on a AAA bus somewhere.... Worse. Hes on the Cubs.
-
LOL Cubs. LOL Felipe Paulino. Fire Lou. Trade what you can. Slash and burn baby. Slash and burn. http://www.rants.us/CMImages/Rants/white_flag_surrender.jpg

This Cubs team may not be good at much, but the one thing they really excel at is making bad pitchers look like aces, so they have that going for them.
-
Ill be a bit surprised if he ever plays a big league game. The guys been bad for a while now. Im just glad that we have 26 outfielders so the temptations not there for Hendry.
-
I have not heard him emphatically refuse to waive his NTC. And I doubt very much now it's about being close to home. He's a big boy, and he's a couple states away from home playing many of his games out west. I'm sure being local mattered at the time, but getting a NTC is a great negotiating power for any player. He knew Hendry was desperate to get him to give up the NFL, so he got the NTC. But I'm sure his biggest desire is to be pitching in the major leagues instead of Des Moines. He hasn't said it himself, but his agent said there was no chance. And he only has less than a year before he has to either stick in the major leagues or have every team pass on him anyway. I'd think that Shark would jump at the opportunity of a trade. He aint going anywhre with the Cubs, so a fresh start might benefit him, especially with better options on the farm if we need one.

The moment will be gone, but the pitcher will be remembered by history for all time. That's at least better than the legions of guys who no one remembers who were perfect through 8 or 8 2/3rds and blew it. I dont see why they wouldnt reverse the call. I mean anyone who sees that replay can tell it wasnt even close and he was well out. Even if it was a close play and he was barely safe, which he clearly wasnt, youd think the ump would want to call him out to be a part of history. The Indians wouldnt have put up a fuss, the fans go home happy, and history is made with the first season with 3 perfectos.
