i don't understand why he didn't sacrifice dewitt, and then sacrificed dome later. You had castro coming up to bad.

I can't believe an organization has no viable alternative for #5 starter. I know we have two guys that went down, but we have to have something better than James Russell. Granted, his game was better today than his last outing but it's hard not to get worse than that.

Both Wells & Cashner are supposed to start throwing again tomorrow, I believe.

I had a little e-mail exchange with our own Carrie Muskat on John Grabow. My argument was that the Cubs needs to send him packing, even though he is being paid a moderate 5M (which he is absolutely not worth). She said he is the least of the Cubs issues, which I respectfully disagreed with. His WHIP is a God awful 2.4!!! Get him the hell outta there!

I just realized that the Cubs are in FIRST PLACE*!



* A four-way tie for first place with CIN, STL, MIL at 9-9.

It will be good to get someone back on the pitching staff. There had to have been SOMEONE on the farm who would have given us better starts than Russell.

And we're back in second now.

I didn't hear clearly, but I think Pat Hughes said Wells would have a rehab start in the minors next week.

lol

quote:
Yes, demoted closer Ryan Franklin is frustrated, too, but he doesn't appreciate the treatment he's receiving from his home fans: boos. Although he insisted he wasn't bothered by the boos, Franklin clearly was disappointed by the fans' behavior. "Sure, I hear it," said Franklin, who has permitted four homers in 6 2/3 innings this season. ... "You don't boo your own team. I don't care who you are or what you say. Just because you spent your money to come here and watch us play and somebody happens to make one bad pitch and gives up a homer, you don't start booing them? I've been here for five years and four years, I've been pretty good. You should go write stories about the fans booing. They're supposed to be the best fans in baseball. Yeah, right."

Dodgers up 6-0 in the 3rd. Wells and Cashner cannot come back soon enough.

Yes, we need Wells and Cashner not only to come back but to come back and be really good. Luckily, the division isn't that great.

The Cards are starting to put it together. It'd be nice for them to hit a lull, but they play HOU next. I guess they've still got two against Cinci.

One of the guys on Comcast Sports (before the season) predicted the Cubs to be right around .500 all year - after the first month is coming to a close, I think he is spot on. I think we're a couple of bats, an elite starting pitcher and improved team speed away from being a serious contender.

they have to get more speed.

Either due to injury or inconsistency, the Cubs starting pitching has been the most disappointing as of late. Just not as sharp as they've been in past, recent seasons

The Dempster contract was always a waste in my opinion. He was never a great pitcher and we should have got what we could for him back then, or sign a stud FA. Big Z will come around soon here.

The Cubs have basically 3 #3 type of starters in their rotation

I'm hoping a lot of the bats down at AA continue to perform well this year. That way we can spend a ton on pitching this offseason and bring up the kids next year.

Another big early inning for the Cub opposition. Dumpster is struggling.

...and he only got one out while giving up 7.
