The Giants...

For those that saw that hit. If Lee is the 1B, does Jones get a 2 RBI hit there?

President of the Fake Rally Club

Here comes the rally killer Fontenot

Or not

OK this is pathetic. I think we might get no hit

Soriano is in a 1-14 slump right now.

Yup, just like on Monday. Except the end of the inning occurred after 2 runs came home.

I think Fontenot is 4-37 (.108) in July. I've learned not to be impatient but...

This offense is going to do nothing against Cain.

Or day after night game... Kendall ususally plays 145-150 games per year. The most Barrett has played is 134. He doesn't sit many games, even day after nights.

Yay no Kendall = we win! Apparently Z really likes pitching to Koyie Hill

Bruce, any word on the necessary roster move?

Please recap for those at work!

Just a note, Fontenot is hitting .156/.156/.156 in July in 32 ABs. Hopefully the Cubs exercise the same patience that Theriot was given when he cooled off. Theriot was .224/.272/.276 in June and now is hitting .455/.526/.667 in July

Any word on the impending roster move. 90% likely Soto gets sent down.

If we played at the same pace we've played since June 5th (26-12) for the rest of the season, we'd end up 97-65

Except Kendall has a track record of being solid in the past and Izzy had no such thing

Can't we let just this one little personal attack fight play out? It would really go a long way in making my afternoon feel a bit quicker!

i don't care about the white sox You don't live in Chicago. I'm more referring to the fact that the Brewers consider us their arch rivals, and most Cubs fans don't even refer to the Brewers as anything more then they do Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Houston

.176 BA .235 SLG .211 OBP .446 OPS She's a beaut, Clark. wow, that is just not good. He's got to blindfolded for most of those at bats. ' For comparison, Jacque Jones is .179/.258 OBP/.250 SLG/.508 this year Career Jones: .227/.274/.347/.622 Kendall: .299/.379/.421/.800

yes Yes it wasn't a terrible deal. But I can't remember specifically, but there were a lot of deals that the Red Sox turned down for Hanley, saying basically that he was untouchable. Again, I could be wrong because I can't remember specifics, but I'm pretty positive the names were bigger than Beckett. Combine that with the fact that Beckett was terrible and a big reason the Sox didnt make the playoffs last year, it makes me think the Marlins won that trade. The trade was Hanley Ramirez, Anibal Sanchez (the no-no guy), Jesus Delgado, Harvey Garcia to the Marlins for Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell, Guillermo Mota.

With all due respect to the Brewers fans, and I do respect the Brewers and their fans and how they built their team. It's really something to envy, but certain Brewers fans over there say that we can't make fun of the Brewers for futility because our futility is worse. Now this season may wipe this point away, but going into this season, that is in no way true. While compared to teams like the Yankees and Cardinals our futility may look the same, when you compare in a smaller circle, the Brewers have had the much worse history. Last playoff series win: Brewers - 1982, Cubs - 2003 Last playoff appearence: Brewers - 1982, Cubs - 2003 Number of playoff appearences since 1980: Brewers - 2, Cubs - 4 Last winning season: Brewers - 1992 (2005 doesn't count, they finished .500), Cubs - 2004 Last World Series - Brewers - 1982, Cubs - 1945 (OK thats one futile mark). But again, to any Brewer fans reading this, I realize there are reasons why this is the case (higher payroll being a huge one). I'm just saying that compared to the Brewers, we look like a mildly successful franchise. And for the record, we care much more about the Cardinals and then White Sox than we ever will about you guys, unless we are competing in the division race like this year. But I hope for a good race in the coming months! Hopefully your futility is changing for the better, and if the Cubs fall short, I will be rooting for the Brewers in the playoffs. You guys deserve it.

That double against the Pirates that broke his 0-22 streak or something.

Sell me on Epstein. He has a WS title, but he also has a huge payroll to work with and a lot of his FA acquisitions (Lugo, Drew, Clement, Renteria, etc) have been questionable at best. Even the Nomar trade that netted him Orlando Cabrera he seemed to get lucky on as Cabs sucked with Montreal (I remember most on the board wanted nothing to do with him when he was rumored to come here). He also waited forever to trade Hanley Ramirez and then finally traded him away for less than what he got back arguably.
