I approve of Jim Edmonds on the Chicago Cubs, he has turned the corner, and I enjoy his presence in the lineup as long as he continues to contribute.

Almost lol D-Lee's 40th GIDP

?

Edmonds maybe turning the corner? 3-bagger for Jimmy.

2006? What's 2006? I will admit I barely watched any games that year but I do know Aramis had a great year. He has definitely been better in 2008 than 2006.

Gallagher 4 K's through 2, whatta stud.

Is Ryan Theriot a good baseball player? Have people agreed yet? I don't really know what to think, I thought not, but he has been impressive so far.

Announcers say 3rd time this home stand.

PAYBACK!!

Soriano's middle school antics have lead to a loss and now potential injury of our starting 2nd baseman. I love his hitting and all and absolutely want him on this team, but he needs to cut this crap out.

lol Soriano DeRosa PLEASE be ok, you are awesome, DONT BE HURT!

He's got ton of movement and he looks like he has veteran swagger. Gallagher 2 up, 2 strike outs. He better keep his spot in the rotation. Zambrano Lilly Dempster Hill Gallagher that's studly

I loved the opening and Gallagher looks electric.

Jason Grilli's cousin invited me to the game today but I had to tell her I couldn't go because of finals, screw school.

Soriano 2-run home run.

lol they also whined about our players and said "If anyone was listening to Sutcliff and Berman, how big of a hard-on did it sound like they had for Ramirez and Lee?" response, "they had a bigger one for soto"

Some good old fun from Dodger Blues during last night's game: Plenty more here.

To me it sounded like he said "Root root root for the Country", hence the "Armed Forces" reference in the beginning. No, he said "root root root for the dodgers"

What did Santo do when that happened?

I want to blow up PNC park, I can't stand this extra inning bs.

Please tell me Marmol doesn't get a blown save....what a joke.

100 MPH? Really?

Chris, why the pessimism? Best record in the National League isn't good enough for you? It's time you realize the Cubs are a good baseball team. You can do it, I believe in you!

He wasn't an elite prospect a few years ago or anything....wait.

Wow, the kid gives up one home run so let's give up on him. I am not that angry, people have to adjust to the major leagues, Christ, can we cut him a little slack? He made a young mistake on an 0-2 pitch. If this were Marquis this mistake would be unacceptable and he would deserve the criticism, but this is a young kid learning how to pitch in the bigs, so seriously chill out. We will never get the full potential of our guys if we quit on them after a couple mistakes (anybody remember that Felix Pie kid, what a joke, Edmonds? Really? Wow), let the kid flippin pitch through them. Also, if you want to send him down, who the hell do you say we should let have the spot? None of the alternatives are going to be any better in the immediate future, and down the line Sean will benefit from the experience and be miles better from going through this. If we can have Gallagher pitching like he could by the stretch run, it will be worth it. Think about it, Dempster is probably not going to keep this up and if he starts getting tagged (which could happen because everything usually averages out in the end) we will be able to have a rotation like this: Zambrano Lilly Gallagher Hill Marshall Maybe you guys don't agree, but to me that seems like the 5 best starting pitchers in the organization, and then we could add another stud at the deadline and have: Zambrano Stud Guy Lilly Hill Gallagher/Marshall It's sure better than flippin (below), which would be the solution Lou would likely go with. Zambrano Lilly Dempster Marquis Lieber/Marshall/Hart
