Actually you only speak for 8 others. :D

Pirates cf Duffy ss Wilson 3b Randa lf Bay 1b Nady 2b Castillo rf Bautista c Paulino p Snell Cubs cf Pierre ss Izturis c Barrett 3b Ramirez rf Jones lf Pagan 1b Mabry 2b Cedeno p Hill Is Burnitz hurt? Why hasn't he started in this series?

Okay, I know a lot of us are suffering from people not pulling their weight (aka low HR totals), but how many of you are suffering from the injury bug now? I have Crede with his sore back flaring up, Wilkerson could be out for the year, and now Lowell has foot problems.

Through games of August 5 * Apologies to pistolcub42, who is the only one who has David Dellucci. I had missed his homers recently, and he has now been corrected (from 3 to 9). * ____________________________________ 278 UMFan83 276 sherwood921 271 Mizzou Serena 267 DCNashville TruffleShuffle 262 TrueBlueCubFan Vinestal 260 rawaction SeldomSeen 253 sethuel1 252 vance_the_cubs_fan 251 Southpaw19 250 srbin84 249 Outshined One 248 Garwilly Scott G.

Stats help that argument.... last 4 Duke starts vs Cubs: 4-0, 0.5x ERA.

Sure it would take time, but most new jobs come with orientation and training.

You must have missed Walker going to San Diego.

Day to day according to ESPN. I believe he's on the bereavement list because his grandmother passed away over the weekend.

There's your answer.

I have a feeling that's going to be the first of many moves the Pirates make today.

Or just a better proof-reader... they have typos all the time.

I admire his heart, passion and energy... but this team was done way before Memorial Day. :(

They also mentioned the switch to Soriano during the Angles/Red Sox game on ESPN tonight.

A lot has changed in a week....

1, Casual Fans would have No idea what happened nor would care 2, he wasant traded, he wasant given a contract and signed as a free agent with the Atlanta Braves CCP never said he was traded, so your 2nd point is a moot one.

With Marshall on the DL already and not knowing the status of Marmol... will Hendry not want to try to trade Glendon to a contender in need of a lhp? He couldn't possibly trade Maddux AND Rusch, could he? I'm not saying it'd be all bad, but that means we'd have to have a rotation with Gooz and Hill and whomever would replace Mad Dog and Prior (when he eventually goes back on the DL...). What a wonderful season. :wall:

That's because Theriot is back in AAA Iowa.

I'd settle for a do-over on bonus players. 8-) 20 more HRs would come my way if I would have had the forsight to select Thome instead of Lowell. :?
