Show of hands, how many people saw that coming? *Raises hand*

Well Demps, if you're going to screw up, do it in a fun way. Hit him in the face.

Oh joy.

Listening to Brenly and Pineilla has done nothing to make me think they'd be worthwhile managers for this team.

Walker can't turn double plays.

Thanks for the freebie, Ozzie.

Of course not.

You forgot the "lead off hitter getting busted for steroids" part.

About two days ago. Womack got DFA'd, Soto went back to AAA.

Jones is gonna get plunked in his next AB.

I'm convinced Dusty doesn't even care any more. When was the last time he actually argued a call?

Afternoon Vance.

Gotta have some one bunt Cedeno over, dudes.

Has Dusty ever laid into anyone on this team older than 25?

Looks like his tee time isn't until 4, considering he's batting now.

That was a bleepin' bomb.

Ka-ching! Hopefully he's made a full recovery and lives up to his contract!

I hear the vet charges $75 for that.

Oscar Bernard started for Mesa. He's gone 3 innings and given up 3 runs so far.

Trading away their best CF prospect for a talented pitcher who hasn't been the same since he was ridden into the ground in 2003?

Funny thing is, he's probably the reason why the Cubs decided to go after Sucky Pierre.

Nice move, imo.

That woman is NOT from Chicago!

That poor child knows its fate as a Cubs fan.
