How long until Izzy is DL'd or DFA'd? -
He's up to 56 IP with 22 runs allowed (15 earned, but a high UER total is a great sign of your stats making you look better than you are). I think that's within the range of a very mediocre pitcher on a hot streak. Disagree. Dempster is no star, but he's always had pretty good stuff with control issues. I am definitely stunned that his ERA is at 2.50 (and obviously the UER's go a long way in making up the difference in expecations), but I think a 3.50 ERA for the season is not out of the question. Then again, if he slumps and his control suffers....and I realize his BABIP and LD% are up there a bit, he could go back to being a very mediocre pitcher.

Dempster has thrown quite a bit of pitches this inning. The CG might be out of the question now
-
Yeah I know, right. Reed Johnson would NEVER leave 4 men on base! Doesn't matter. Edmonds starts with 2 strikes on him in most Cub fans minds.
-
4 run inning or 4+ run inning? If the latter, we scored 5 runs and 6 runs in an inning on Monday..
-
A double and 2 singles. Total runs scored: 0
-
We should have scored like 2 runs that inning.
-
Who?
-
C'mon Hank
-
Wow who is that guy? He looks like he hasnt picked up a bat in months!
-
Edmonds made that ball hit off the bricks on purpose. And then he got the single so he could boost his stats but not help the Cubs!
-
A certain player on the New York Mets is 3 innings away from something special. *hint hint*
-
He should have sat today. DeRo should be at 1st and Cedeno should be starting. Cedeno is starting!
-
Lee is 10 for his last 55 (.181)

No, because Bruce is wrong. I could well be wrong. I've had to talk myself into living with it (like I have another choice). If it doesn't work, they'll just get rid of him. No, you're right. It would only have been bad had it taken PT away from Pie. But since Felix wasn't getting any, it really doesn't make any difference. But we don't need him and he is hated at least by a majority of Cubs fans. If this post makes me a "meatball" then so be it. hating him for being jim edmonds makes you a meatball. Yay! I actually don't mind that. I am stubborn in my ways. I don't like Jim Edmonds and I'm not afraid to admit it.

I hate Cubs fans. You all know what I am talking about.

With all due respect to Bruce, I think even he would agree that people are allowed to have differing opinions about things. Now obviously he's more in the know, and might have some sort of knowledge about why Pie was never given a shot, or why Edmonds was better than his numbers in SD, but even then, this isn't a communist board where everyone is supposed to think alike. no, i beg to differ. it is a communist board because we're all supposed to be meatballs and hate edmonds or get flamed. Why does it make somebody a meatball to dislike bad baseball players on the Cubs? meatballs don't hate edmonds because he's a bad baseball player. like i said, the move is pointless at worst. I don't know why, but calling people meatballs sounds so odd. Sounds like something someone would say in the 70's

Actually theres one more reason why he might keep this lineup. Because he is going to strictly keep Edmonds/Reed in a strict platoon and doesn't want Fukudome to have to switch from 2nd to 5th on a nightly basis.
-
I'm guessing that Lou wants to see a little out of Edmonds before he moves him up to 5th and moves Fukudome to 2nd. Either that or its wishful thinking. Oh well, the only singular reason that I thought this move would help the Cubs has been erased by Lou's incompetence.
-
My prediction Soriano, LF Fukudome, RF Ramirez, 3B Edmonds, CF DeRosa, 1B Blanco, C Theriot, SS Cedeno, 2B (yes that's right, Ronny Cedeno) Dempster, P

I don't see the Cubs doing that. Do they have any precedent in doing that? Most teams lock up their young stars because they get them for an extra year or two at a discounted price. The Cubs however, are a large market team that would most likely rather play the arby game, with full confidence that they will be able to buy him when he eventually goes to the open market, which isnt for quite awhile. Besides, by the time hes a FA, he will be a nearly 30 year old catcher.
