I hope the Mississippi River swallows the new Busch Stadium whole. ...preferably while the Cardinals are in it.

Jumping on the new draftee's bandwagon? :lol:

16th Rounder UAB 1B Ryan Keedy confirmed as signed. Link

42nd rounder RHP Derek Riley out of Chandler-Gilbert CC is expected to forego the Cubs and go to Arkansas State: Link

The Cubs picked up another UDFA in Murray State RHP Mike Perconte.

From the Cubs picks thread:

Good way to finish the game!

Lieber will finish this one out!

His eye has been pretty good, but he hasn't put good wood on anything, I think I think he had a solid single earlier. ...and that.

Botched hit and runs are fun.

we already have two, and howry has been very good the past three years. Howry is insanely inconsistent this year. Oh yeah, I meant to say sick middle reliever. Asciano could be that guy. He hasn't been doing too well in AAA since being shipped back.

Tough play for everyone there.

Platoon splits only matter when the manager is making out the lineup card. I'm willing to make an exception when it comes to certain PH situations. Reed Johnson has been abysmal against RHPs.

Now would be a good time to PH with Edmonds, imo.

Mark DeRosa is so not clutch.

That would be Pujols.

Pitch to him. He's been injured and is rusty.

Derrek Lee is not 20 feet tall, Theriot.

How's Greg Maddux doing these days? Or, as an alternate joke, I was unaware you had two dads. :D

His leg might have just gone "pop".

Good call.

My head might explode if Ryan Theriot makes the All Star team.

Man, I don't want to win the division like this. I want to beat the Cards straight up, because they should not be that good. Remember the Cubs in 2004 and 2005? Remember how the Cardinals did it in those years? "You only won the division cause Pujols went down." - You really want to hear that all the time from Cards fans? I'll happily remind them of Mark Prior and Kerry Wood in 2004 and 2005.
