regarding dero to the cardinals
stl has a lot of AAAA pitchers, well they haven’tbeen that good in AAA. they also have had numerous injuries. they’ve made moves involving their 40 man roster, and may have tough decisions to make for who deserves a spot in december. (this from general comment on the cardinals site).
they might be able to deals three or four kevin hart-esque pitchers to the tribe to get dero. if that would be enough. not sure.
If it'll take Kevin Hart-level pitchers to get the deal done
then I think the Cubs can pull of the same deal.

Gotta go pick up Max from zoo camp. I hope to be on the threads later in the game! GO CUBS!
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Little concerned with the situation in North Korea and raising gas prices
Other than that, seems ok.
The Iran elections aren't helping.

"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
Most of the Cubs haven't seen Lee, right?
I’m guessing our best chance will be the second time through the order.
this argument doesn't work for the season anymore
But, as far as this GAME is concerned, it is early.
Soto takes strike 3
2 outs.

Everybody's lookig for a free pass
and Ronnie’s gettin peeved.
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
he thinks they need to be looking for his fastball
and was annoyed that Soto took strike 3 right down the middle

Yesterday people were bitching that they were swinging at the first pitch and weren’t taking pitches.

Yeah, only after 2 strikes you shouldn't be taking anything close. There is a difference my good Dr.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Not working...
- Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
- Germans?
- Forget it, he's rolling.
Fox grounds out, 5-3
end of 2, 3-0 Indians.

might have to adjust my Lee CG pitch count estimate down
after that inning. I mean the guy isn’t dominant for nothing but his ERA is high 2’s, not 0, we should at least be able to create an offensive stir.
GOOD MORNING JUDD
Jeebus, you know how to yell.

At this point
I don’t care if the Cubs win or lose this game. I want to see them fight back and not just lay down.
