    "Blowing resources" implies that Roberts is a bad player and that anyone would have been able to predict that the Cubs would have been able to trade for Harden like they did AND that DeRosa would have a career year. No, it doesn't. The rumored offer was Gallagher/Veal/Ceda/Cedeno and one other (can't remember who...Patterson?) Trading your top 3 pitching prospects plus 2 others for a minimal upgrade at a position that doesn't need it is a waste of resources, especially when you consider that those parts would be needed later on to upgrade positions that actually need upgrading. Of course we didn't know we'd be able to get Harden, but I think it was pretty much understood around here that we needed another frontline starter and trading 5 guys for Roberts would hurt our chances of getting that done at any point during the season.

    I wonder if the people who are trashing badnews for "patting himself on the back" are the same people that wanted to blow resources on Roberts. Hmm.

    9 run lead in the 9th and he can't even record an out. Ouch.

    I'm pretty sure the problem is that Shark is being Shark. He had only given up 1 earned run in his previous 10 outings (10.1 innings) before tonight. So one bad outing has people saying he is no good? Well I've been skeptical of him all along. I don't see how a guy can go from atrocious in AA to good in the majors in like 2 months. He hasn't looked sharp his last few outings that I've seen.. flaling being in the count a lot. Because his secondary pitches and control and mechanics improved. Well that's my point, his control has not been good lately.

    The guy had 13 appearances in August (13 IP) and gave up ZERO runs and now with a 10 run lead he gives up a few runs and suddenly maybe he should be left off the playoff roster. Unbelievable. Well yeah, the leaving him off the playoff roster thing was kind of silly. His control has not been good lately though, and that's a big part of why he struggled in the minors and why he was dominant when he first came up with the Cubs.

    Koyie Hill in no longer worried I'm still kind of worried that Aramis was pulled an inning before everyone else
  18. 17 Seconds
    I'm kind of worried that Aramis is the only guy that's out of the game.

    leadoff IF single = furious? For the Padres yes very much so. And they ruled that a hit? the throw would have beat him easily

    Do tell what they said, please. They mentioned the Cubs fans making noise on Burton's "fake to third throw to first" routine, as does every fanbase in baseball, and then the color guy says "The Reds fans know that that's not a balk, maybe they can teach the Cubs fans". They went on to call the Cubs fans, bandwagoners, basically. Who was it? Brennaman? Brantley?
