Good luck to him at the Giants.

Kind weird to get traded to the city you are visiting.

Apparently the Giants were desperate to avoid a repeat of last night!

Farewell Sneaky Hamster Power! Good luck in the other dugout.

Is gone.

but let the evolution of the new Cubs begin with Darwin ( who I assume is coming up). Let’s hope he does not miss his connection in MNPLS.

I’ll miss you.

just turned 22. He was drafted in the 9th round last year and here are his stats this year..
.255 avg with 12 doubles, 12 triples, 4 HRs, 29 RBI, and 24/33 SB in 109 games in Low A.

Join the race, go to a good team, good for you.

Best of luck to him. While he proved he’s not an every day player, he did a fine job as a utility IF and was a pretty effective pinch hitter for the Cubs.

I just hope they don’t need him tonight, given how thin the bench is already, unless they’ve already called up Barney or someone else.

Probably the best actor the Cubs had on the team (cameo on TBS sitcom "My Boys" in 2009).

This is killing Big Z and his pre-game ritual.

And Fontenot will probably hit a double into the corner tonight vs. the Cubs. Damn it.

The only pint-sized middle infielder we’ve had in the last two years that I didn’t hate.

Ryno isn’t going to have a very good team next year.

Piniella did that guy wrong. Go get ’em, LBR!

One a Dodger, one a Giant.

Considering I would have been happy if Hendry had gotten a post-game spread for the team from Portillo’s for Sammy Sosa, Fontenot’s time with the organization has easily been a net plus. He was a good soldier trying to play 3B last year even though we all knew he had no business there and that Hendry had messed up by not having a decent AAAA 3B at Iowa. Given that the Giants can play Uribe all around the infield, having Fontenot be primarily a 2B backup for them is fine.

The Crawford kid will probably wash out, but it’s not like Fontenot was going to be back next year. I hope that Barney and DeWitt split the last 35 games at 2B, with Barney also getting some starts at SS and DeWitt some at 3B.

Trading Theriot to the Dodgers and Fontenot to the Giants: It’s like he’s trying to create the cajun civil war.

After playing together at LSU and witht he Cubs, Theriot and Fontenot are required to hate each other.

Kevin Millar, Mike Fontenot, Larry Rothschild… uh-oh, Larry!

Glad we got something out of him. He wasn’t a part of the future, so I’m glad he’s gone. Seemed like a nice enough guy but nothing to fret over. The 2011 job is between Dewitt and Barney.

Maybe Bruce Bochy will use him correctly.
