What is the common "injury" that Harden seems to be suffering? Elbow? Shoulder?

I hope you aren't serious. Was 6 innings at St. Louis not enough or something? I wasn't saying that's what I WANT the Cubs to do, but rather what I think they might do. I'd much rather see Marshall replace Marquis in the rotation, but barring that I'd rather Marshall star in Iowa than be in the Cubs' bullpen. Agreed. He'd make a nice insurance policy if *knock on wood* something happen to one of our starters.

It'd be a good choice for the Cubs to get Greinke, but I don't think the Royals are thinking of parting ways with him, especially when he has shown some improvement after his battle with depression/anexiety issues. And given with Dayton Moore's philosophy, which is pitching and defense, I doubt he will give up a young arm, but this is just me speculating. Anything is possible, I get that. But if I was the GM for the Royals, I would think Greinke would be almost untouchable, unless there is a deal that really blew me away that I may be tempted to take.

DP please....

Am watching on Gamecast. Seems like he has control issues, evidenced on his PC.

IN PLAY/RUN(S)!

Bases are clogged!

Cash it in Lee!

When is Rich's next start?

I don't know. It may rival aganist Aramis/Lofton deal...

Do we have any top 50 prospects? So theyd essentially want 2 or 3 of Sean Marshall, Sean Gallagher, Donie Veal, Mitch Atkins, Kevin Hart, and Jeff Samardzjia and 2 or 3 of Wellington Castillo, Tyler Colvin, Felix Pie and Josh Vitters. Pass. He has a NTC. He may wave it if he believes that he will have a better chance of pitching for the A's than the Cubs as of this point.....

Who does he replace though? He's not better than Quentin, Drew, Bradley, or Sizemore. Jason Varitek. Yeah, that was a dumb selection. Congrats to our boys, on a better note. The thing is, the players selected Varitek, IIRC.

Early June. FWIW, Butler is back with the Royals, he's 6 for 14 with a double and HR since being recalled. The only reason he was sent down is because of his attitude. Well that and when Guillen snapped about the young players on the team he meant Butler. Yep, the Royals sent down a huge part of their future to appease Jose Guillen. You know the same Jose Guillen the Angels left off of their playoff roster a few years back because he was a clubhouse cancer. What a joke the Royals are. Haha, no. The reason why he got sent down was that his plate discipline was just terrible, and he was in a major funk during the time. When Guillen snapped, commenting that the players weren't winning and that the losing was getting old, he was right. The Royals team desperately needs to find an identity, and to do that, they're going to have to cut the lazy pieces of lazy players that was bringing this club down. Yeah, he's a clubhouse cancer all right when he was just only complaining that the 12 game losing streak was getting old. I should also point out that the Seattle management regretted for not re-signing Guillen. How was Butler any different this year from what Alex Gordon was last year? As a hitter? Plus the team kept up Tony Pena Jr. and Ross Gload. Sending down Billy Butler was a joke. As for the Guillen thing. No that isn't the only time he has snapped this year. He didn't run out a grounball a few nights ago that he would have beat after the fielder booted the ball. He then proceeded to cry about the fans booing him. Saying he didn't give a frick about the fans. The Radio stations down here have all basically said that Guillen's rant is what got Butler sent down. Oh and good for Seattle they want him back. They are a horrible organization. Meanwhile the team that wins that division every year, the Angels, want nothing to do with the clown. Funny. How about for an identity they start getting good players, then resigning them? The reason why the Royals didn't option Alex to Omaha last year was that they knew that he was going to struggle, which is why they decided to keep him on the MLB level, last year. Butler just suddenly exploded on the scene last year, raking all over the place, and the Royals expected him to continue to do that this year. Unfortunatey for Butler, his plate discipline just got sloppy, and started chasing crappy pitches. As for sending down Butler, it's probably a joke, but at the same time, he was in a very very nasty slump, that they have no choice but to option him. Now why they did him over Tony Pena Jr, I have no idea. Pena Jr is not even worthy of being on a MLB roster, let alone, being on anybody's AAA level. Why the Royals keep this clown, I do not know. Personally, I would perfer Neifi Perez over Tony Pena Jr, one way or another. Guillen is Guillen. Yeah, he can do a better job on hustling out some plays, but remember when us fans were getting on Aramis when he wasn't hustling becuase we didn't know that he was hurting at the time. I believe it was his thigh or his leg, something like that. Well, this is the same situation with Guillen. It's something wrong with his leg or groin, I don't know which one, but it's no different than Aramis. Why hustle so hard, when it's a routine grounder, only to re-injure yourself? I wouldn't take that chance. As for Seattle being a horrible organization, it's debateable.

Roid Rage!!! Kidding, of course, but man, it sounded pretty rough....

While nobody died yet, the homeplate ump in the Colorado/KC game got whacked with one at his forehead. Went to the hospital and had concussion. Ump released with mild concussion

Wah wah wah. I bet you that not only just the Cubs that are possibly stealing signs, but every MLB team does the same thing.

BLLLLLLLLANNNNNNCO!!!!

Don't swing that!

Demote him, plz. Come on Fukudome! End this!
