Yeah...

because it was be god-awful embarrassing to bring in a guy to solve your non-left-handedness and then he can’t bat left-handed.

Adam Dunn is busy being a lumberjack, hitting the tar off baseballs. With OBP, OPS, HR, and RBI.

Milton Bradley is taking a few days off, because his pee-pee hurts and he forgot how to hit a ball.

I believe I'm as optimistic as anyone on this board...

but I’m a little discouraged after hearing “Lidge and his 7+ ERA in non-close situations” and “Park was out of the rotation after having a 7+ ERA” result in a single baserunner.

Also, with the game in extras, why is Marshall being used as a lefty specialist. Seems like an ideal time for him to pitch for 2-4 innings.

Cubs right fielder Milton Bradley made a pinch-hit plate appearance in the 11th inning against the Phillies tonight, marking his 75th game played in 2009. The significance? The games played milestone caused his 2011 option, worth $12MM, to vest.
