Not as crazy as some here might think. I know some clubs use tandem starters in the minors - each guy expected to throw about 4 innings. The Cubs have 12 pitchers on the roster, so it's not like they couldn't do that sort of thing. Hill/Guzman and Wood/Marshall? I've wondered why not let Wood/Prior pitch the same game, about 4-5 innings each, as they "inch" (to borrow Len's adjective) their way back from the DL. It'd save the pen for a day. Stop this talk right now. You're asking Dusty to think creatively (and sensibly). Dusty's idea of creativity is to let the pitcher hit and pull him out the next inning. -
Just hit it in the air and get it into the jetstream, right Len.
-
Don't worry, the offensive woes will get our mood back to where it needs to be.
-
Len is really starting to piss me off.

Crowd needs to start a "Fire Hendry" chant. He's the one who bid against himself and gave this fat piece of excrement a 2 year contract.
-
Ron Santo won't be the first Cub fan/player this team has killed. Believe it. If that were to happen, could we get Dusty/Hendry/Macphail strung up on manslaughter charges?
-
And so it ends with a whimper. The bright side: another dagger in Dusty's bloated corpse. (Oh, who am I kidding. He'll be re-upped for 3 years. Yay squadron!)
-
I'm really worried about Ron Santo's health right now. He's apoplectic.
-
This game sucks.
-
Ha ha, Ron Santo's dog ate his cell phone. Hilarious.
-
That needs to be an offiicial stat. I mean, look at Corey Patterson. Neifi is the king of SBT (stolen bases taken).
-
Ron Santo was beside himself after that hitting display by the Astros.
-
I love 3-0 pitch swinging.
-
Nice. :D
-
Don't worry, by flipping the line-up, the Cubs will get those runs back. :|
-
Yay, the Cubs have an agreement with Motorola and are the first MLB franchise to go wireless. For some reason, I should be excited about this.
-
It doesn't help when your first two batters are automatic outs.
-
Ron Santo approves of the Phil Nevin trade. Says Dusty is going to try get him into the line-up more often.
-
Funny listening to Ron Santo just beginning to realize what a loss it is to lose Barrett for a chunk of games in favor of Henry Blanco.
-
Eh, nevermind. WTG Barrett.
-
I have a feeling Neifi will do well in this game. I think he's in his Neifury phase, which makes an appearance once a year for about a week or so.
-
Ron Santo is back! Great to hear.
-
Gotta play the hot hand, dude.

What an incredibly dumb article. I'm not necessarily against putting some diamond-vision contraption in Wrigley Field (if they could squeeze it in somewhere in a tasteful manner). But to replace the hand-operated, centerfield scoreboard with some brand-new Rock-n-Roll Diamond-Vision Super-Tron™...what a tremendously bad idea. Other than the brick-and-ivy, the centerfield scoreboard is probably single-most distinctive architectural trait about Wrigley Field. If you want to tear down Wrigley and move the Cubs into a brand new, high-tech, über-mall, nouveau park of the 21st century, just say so. If not, shut the hell up.

Urkel + Tom Selleck = Juan Pierre circa 2002. Pierre desperately needs to regrow the 'stache and get some of that old time mojo going. Failing that, just get rid of the guy. He sucks.
