that ball Fontenot hit to Greene, in which Lee moved to avoid a play on him by Greene could have aggravated something, too.

my bro and I were debating this on Facebook
per his quote
manny is the best hitter of his generation, and is turning ethier into an all star. maybe dlee would find his potential again, maybe aram would become clutch. la will be in the world series this year because of manny. bradley might play 100 games and put up 30% of manny’s numbers. fine, you don’t like manny doens’t change bradley being a ridiculous signing and an example of the 100+ year drought lasting another year. would manny be a good three year investment? no, would the cubs win the world series this year, YES. I would sacrifice 2 years for a ws

With the bench as thin as it is, there’s no chance that the Cubs are being extra cautious here.
Well, Len and Bob did say
Piniella wanted to give Lee the day off today, and he said no.
Regardless, get all these nagging hurts out of the way now. Would rather have this in April than September.

Let's face it
The Cubs got awfully lucky with injuries last year. Aside from Soriano, Wood and Z, they had nothing relatively long term.
This scenario isn’t great, but it isn’t terrible, either. And it’s to be expected, for any team. It’s just that they’re all coming at once.

Ks looking. He thought strike 2 and strike 3 were both balls.

I was sort of with him on strike 2
Three caught the corner though.

Just wait...
Most people think it was a stupid signing. AM is the type of player that Lou will get a good year out of. He just needs to find the right spot in the order for him, and not play him everyday if possible. I’m not predicting anything, but I think some will be pleasantly surprised.

if that tennis slice backhand continues to work
i think things will be fine. Used right, and 8th in the order, I don’t mind Miles.

Do you have any idea what kind of skillset it takes to be a succesful club DJ? It ain’t just pick a record, play a record. The good ones are artists.

OT
OT but Cubs related anyone ever go through childhood pictures and see how many of them feature you wearing Cubs or other teams gear?
We had my Dad’s birthday party yesterday (82 people a lot of fun) and we were doing picture collages and so many non holiday pics are sporting events and so many have us wearing some teams paraphanalia.
And how many holiday pictures the present we are holding up is somehow sports related?

Gathright and Hill are our only options on the bench, right?
I’m assuming Zambrano is going to be the first PH Lou uses today.
Bradley could probably pinch hit if needed
but should he reach, Gathright would have to run.

True, forgot about him.
But after Gathright got picked off yesterday, I’m not sure how likely that would be.
He'll just have to hit one out then...lol

MB can PH
not sure about ARAM
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
After Z
After Z which pitcher would you go to next for PH? Dempster?
Its a blessing Z isn’t starting today.

my bros man crush on Manny
“manny is cancer is like saying lower income people are taxed too much. its popular to say but nothing supports it. cleveland hasn’t been good since they let him go and he’s the reason boston won 2 ws. boston won’t see another ws in our lifetime either. bradley sucks plain and simple. manny isn’t half as bad in the outfield as his reputation, this falls in line with my opening statement. its popular to say but unsupported with facts.
as long as cubs waste money on the milton bradlyes and jason marquise of the world we’ll continue to watch manny play late in october and get swept out ourselves. i predict manny bats 500 against cubs again in october and we are three and done again."

its just funny IMO

I kinda agree on the Manny Is Not A Cancer thing...
but it’s not like the Dodgers were in the World Series or anything….

And I;m trying to erase as much of 08 playoffs out of my head but weren’t most of Mannys hits mostly after the games were pretty much over?

When Sammy got hit I heard if the ball had hit just him lower it could have easily killed him.
It’s actually very lucky only one batter in major league history has been killed by a thrown ball even with the helmets.

Harden
not deliberately deliberately walking Puhols. Four pitches, four balls. One on, two outs, Ludwick to the plate.
