time for beef to sink or swim
Chronologically inept since 2060
Q: Why did Chuck Norris cross the road?
A: Ditka
Ditka's mustache can block a Chuck Norris round house
Ditka's mustache can kill two stones with one bird

Unless he's an idiot
he’ll probably sink.

Sinking or Swimming will depend
on the marbling.

Here's the Beef!
I don't always block shots, but when I do....I block yours.

Further tweet from Carrie....
…. indicates Hill will start tonight, but Castillo may start tomorrow.

Uhm, you do realize Beef's defensive abilities are subpar, right?
We’re going to be wanting Soto back by the weekend
Geo on the DL has no has no bearing on people wanting him back by the weekend

How about putting him on the Concussion DL?
They could say he got hurt letting the little head do the thinking for the big head.
Yeah, I know there should be an apostrophe in "Vails," but punctuation wasn't an option when I signed up.

I know
But’s the only thing I could think of to get him back faster short of having one of his relatives fake a death so he could go on the bereavement list.

Am I the only one
fearful that Beef will start once every 3 or 4 days?
While not a swell defender (a push with Hill), he does hold the potential to be an offensive spark.

Dang rotten shame.
I hope he recovers soon. Groins are tough to heal.

I, for one, welcome the resumption of the Koyie Hill era that was so rudely interrupted by the intermittent health of Geo.

I'm glad the whole world can watch Hill tonight on ESPN...
…this world we live in needs a good laugh. I’ll watch on CSN, though.
I've come to the conclusion that the two most important things in life are good friends and a good bullpen. ~Bob Lemon, 1981
Cards will almost certainly pull-in their infield
Thereby totally negating Koyie’s primary offensive weapon, the surprise bunt..
I'm wet nurse to a last-place, dead-to-the-neck-up ball club, and I'm choking to death!
Useless against his secondary weapon
The surprise home run.
Well, I was freakin’ surprised…

If you add the one he has already...
to the ones he’ll hit the rest of the way…I’m thinking you’ll still have a total of one.

There is no excuse for starting Koyie Hill tonight.
Where have you gone, Kiko Calero. A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
Beef was playing last night in Colorado Springs
I guess that’ll be the excuseplanation.

Which means he'll travel about 1,000 miles fewer to get to the park today
I’m saying it’s a reason – not necessarily a good one.

Well neither of them are very good.
But I see you’re point. They need to be using the younger guy, who can at least hit better.
Getting this out of the way now

She could hit better than Koyie Hill.

Finally
Soto has been blocking Koyie Hill for too long now. This has been like when Thome was blocking Ryan Howard. This is going to be so awesome for our future, getting Koyie this big chance to take his rightful place in the lineup for years to come. I hope he bats third.

Remember when we all argued on whether or not Hill was going to get alot of playing time?

by santoswoodenlegs on May 11, 2011 3:34 PM CDT reply actions
Sure.
So he starts one game. I’ll acknowledge you were right if Hill starts every game for a week.
Check out Chicago sports coverage at SB Nation Chicago
Let's see...
if they put Soto on the DL for 15 days, that probably means 18-20 days figuring in a rehab trip to Peoria or Dayton. Over/under Hill starting 5 games?

We should probably just assume a 60-day DL stint for Geo
Get all the angst out of the way right now.

Lets say 15 games and set the over/under at 10.

I’d say if he starts the next three games.

How about every game but one?
Because I’ll wager that’s going to happen

Hill started the final 6 last year...
got one game off in 10 of the last 11.

Well, if Hill is starting
here’s to hoping that Quade bats the pitcher in front of him.

I just hope if we have another play at the plate,
he will catch the damn ball. That was a play last night that high school teams make routinely. He took his eyes off the ball and didn’t catch it. I was livid.

I believe we’re in for a lot more Hill starts than we want. The worst case scenario is upon us.

43% doesn't worry me
44%, however, would make me question things

Hello Eths
I thought you’d decided to find a “new avatar” after the (tragic) death of Knut, no?
I didn't understand the "white-collar Cub fans", "blue-collar Sox fans" until much later in life. Harry Smith~ "For Cubs Fans Only".
The majority said I should keep him,,,

Wow...just checked out Wrigleyville Sports...
I can get a Koyie Hill (MLB Official) jersey for only $179.95… I wonder if they’ll have any left after Sotos DL visit…

Did they have any Milton Bradley jerseys left ??
I had a scary thought...what if Castillo was brought up just to be the back-up catcher for the back-up catcher?

And since Garza will pitch a perfect game, it’s not like he’ll have to worry about base runners.
