It’s two Pics of the Day in a row for Blake Dewitt. I’m sure he would be honored if he had any idea this part of the interwebz existed.
Anyway, the Cubs lost and Prince Fielder inched closer to Mike Schmidt as all-time Cubs killer extraordinaire. But Blakey has even more problems.

We-we-we such a bad team. We such a bad team. We gonna lose again today…

Hilarious. Now i’m just looking forward to the Cubs finishing this series and getting on to doing some real good in the world by being swept by The Pirates, so they can make up for the injustice done by the “human element” known otherwise as tired umpires.
Had not seen that before. Was the ump able to justify doing his job while masturbating into his eyes?

I sprained my ankle with no breaks and nothing showing up on the MRI and it wasn’t right for over a month. Granted I’m not an athlete and don’t have trainers, but I can’t imagine him not going on the DL.
I guess Z said he wants to stay if there are changes. I think Z feels the same way everyone feels in regards to housecleaning etc.

KOWOH did. IIRC, people were banned for offering to bring certain foodstuffs.
He is…the most interesting blogger in the world.

If the beer is now changed to a Big Gulp, there should probably also be a bologna sandwich sitting in front of him.

There’s at least 4-5 new quotables from this thread already. I declare today a win already, at the ripe time of 8:53 AM.
i’ll take potent potables for 500 alec
fukudome is going to the clev
Albert Haynesworth —> NE
Wow.
[quote name=dylanj]fukudome is going to the clev[/quote]
We can has Bert Jackson now?
no, jackson really needs to be in iowa for awhile/ the guy is not MLB ready
Levine reported that Colvin is expected to be in MIL should the trade be finished before gametime.
[quote name=dylanj]no, jackson really needs to be in iowa for awhile/ the guy is not MLB ready[/quote]
Methinks he’s about as ML ready as he’s going to get.
[quote name=Dr. Aneus Taint]Albert Haynesworth —> NE
Wow.[/quote]
Despite the 3-4 there, if anyone can make that work it’s NE
[quote name=Dr. Aneus Taint]Methinks he’s about as ML ready as he’s going to get.[/quote]
Yeah, if he got promoted to Iowa he’s ready. AAA teams are pretty much taxi squads. If he can do well in AA he’s ready to go.
[quote name=Dr. Aneus Taint]Methinks he’s about as ML ready as he’s going to get.[/quote]
he’s 22 Ryno. There’s time to adjust
21 k’s in 58 AB’s. He needs time folks. Rushing him up would be a mistake
[quote name=dylanj]he’s 22 Ryno. I’ll wait a while, thanks[/quote].
Though on the other hand I guess you might as well not start his service clock
[quote name=dylanj]21 k’s in 58 AB’s. He needs time folks. Rushing him up would be a mistake[/quote]
Jackson is always going to strike out a lot – that’s the kind of hitter he is.
[quote name=Berselius]Jackson is always going to strike out a lot – that’s the kind of hitter he is.[/quote]
if this is how he is right now then he is utterly useless. He’s struggling in a harder league in AAA. Moving up up to the bigs is a mistake. He’s young. He’s still developing. Leave him be.
[quote name=Dr. Aneus Taint]Albert Haynesworth —> NE
Wow.[/quote]

Fwiw. I’d rather keep him down for service time reasons.
let Colvin take the rest of the AB’s this year. We can figure out what he’s about.
Also szrururu dislocated his pinky
I’m hoping the Cubs pay all of his salary to get a better prospect from CLE
[quote name=JMan]Levine reported that Colvin is expected to be in MIL should the trade be finished before gametime.[/quote]
Ugh. I’d rather Tyler stayed in Iowa and tried to get right and they brought up someone like Lou Montanez to come up and watch Reed Johnson play RF.
[quote name=Chris Dickerson]Ugh. I’d rather Tyler stayed in Iowa and tried to get right and they brought up someone like Lou Montanez to come up and watch Reed Johnson play RF.[/quote]i think Reed is dealing with back issues anyways. If the Cubs are going to use a platoon this year it needs to be Johnson/Colvin.
[quote name=Berselius]Despite the 3-4 there, if anyone can make that work it’s NE[/quote]
I think he’d make a good two-gapping 5-technique that would free up their OLB. Basically, opposing teams would have to put four OL on Wilfork and Haynesworth.
[quote name=JMan]i think Reed is dealing with back issues anyways. If the Cubs are going to use a platoon this year it needs to be Johnson/Colvin.[/quote]
They’ll bring back the maroon and play Johnson/Soriano (dying laughing)

I hear you, but I just think Quade will trot out everyone he can before he gives Colvin regular ABs. Blake DeWitt will become the every day RF before Colvin will.
[quote name=dylanj]21 k’s in 58 AB’s. He needs time folks. Rushing him up would be a mistake[/quote]
At the time of the draft, I thought he would struggle to hit pro pitching. To be fair, though, I didn’t think he’d make it at AA. He proved me wrong, but what he’s doing in AAA right now is what I thought he’d do at the ML level.
I think he’s just in a bad streak right now. I think he’s better than what he’s showing at AAA, but this is what he is.

i can’t imagine fukudome will bring much back. but maybe the 5 mill will.
They already have an Asian OF, Ryno.
Kaepernick —–> signed
Go Indians I guess.
[quote name=GBTS]They already have an Asian OF, Ryno.[/quote]
Good, so they already sell headbands.
[quote name=Dr. Aneus Taint]Good, so they already sell headbands.[/quote]They’re right next to the tomohawks.
Looks like Aldon Smith is signing as we speak. Niners draft class is locked up.
well our games will go faster now that we got rid of the only guy who can work a count
[quote name=dylanj]well our games will go faster now that we got rid of the only guy who can work a count[/quote]Any chance we can speed the total game time up to about 7 to 8 minutes? That’s all I can watch this team in one sitting anymore.
I’d leave Brett Jackson down until June or July of next year. I’d like to get that 7th year and this year is pointless. Plus, dude has issues.
I don’t know how many Dayton Moore’s there are in Kansas City, but one of them just called me. I got all excited thinking I was getting called up to the big leagues, but turns out it was a wrong number.
MLBTR says we get one good prospect and one not so good one in return for Fukudome.
