if he hadn’t done that, then he could be placed on the DL retroactively to an earlier date (and come back sooner), but as of right now, it can only go back to April 25.
Bats came alive today, pitching was solid up and down the line. (Well, Cotts wasn’t particularly impressive, but …)
Now they have to focus on getting healthy and playing well in Arizona, a place where they often struggle. But the Diamondbacks are not in good shape right now.
Late night tomorrow — always love West Coast games. Baseball at 9 p.m.? Awesome.
Arizona is a tough place for the Cubs, and the Marlins always have been hard on them. Plus that’s a four-game series. But if the starting pitching holds, I think they’ll be fine.
The Marlins have cooled considerably. And the Diamondbacks aren’t what they once were. If they can do well against both of them, especially in that house of horrors in Phoenix, it might augur well. And you’ve got to figure at least Marmol, Ramirez and Lee will be back at some point in that stretch.
Har har har
Look who the bad boy on top of the thread is.
dtpollitt - April 26, 2009
so did you want people to jump?
Bill Potter - April 26, 2009
What can I say?
Winning is fun.
dtpollitt - April 26, 2009
Very fun.
I could get used to it.
Bill Potter - April 26, 2009
did i read that right
jump?
Cubbie-Tim - April 26, 2009
No surprise there
You only said “Jump” about a hundred times.
Vermont Cubs Fan - April 26, 2009
you were too subtle, Dan... hard to pick out your jump ;-}
Emelie - April 26, 2009
that pic up there
isn’t a good omen.
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
So I would say the WBC had no effect on Kosuke.....
I am so glad to see him hitting like we thought he would!
razzpunk - April 26, 2009
Maybe I should
miss more games. Sounds like Dome had a great game. I had hoped he would rebound this season.
Hate to hear about Derrek and hopefully he won’t be out long at all.
sue369 - April 26, 2009
We missed you!
Emelie - April 26, 2009
Aw thanks.
I was watching the Bulls. The Hawks win last ngiht and the Bulls this afternoon and now the Cubs should win this on. It’s a good day.
sue369 - April 26, 2009
yes it is, a very good day
Emelie - April 26, 2009
Yes, sue. No more games for you until this streak stops.
dtpollitt - April 26, 2009
I was just wondering where Sue was when Kosuke hit that HR...
carmen_fanzone - April 26, 2009
Hill grounds out.
10-3, going to the bottom of the ninth.
Vermont Cubs Fan - April 26, 2009
Any word on Aramis? Bradley?
xene - April 26, 2009
nope
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
Hopefully, there's something on the post-game show.
We can’t keep losing our good players.
Vermont Cubs Fan - April 26, 2009
So Monday nights game may be sans DLee, ARam, Bradley, and Marmol?
Lucky Aaron Miles is on fire now…..
razzpunk - April 26, 2009
We'll miss ARam & Marmol
Clutche - April 26, 2009
aramis will probably play in the last game of the series against Arizona
as for Bradley, he told lou that he still doesnt feel 100 percent so its a day to day kinda thing
lexmarklover - April 26, 2009
Why not just DL Bradley? Don't get it!
razzpunk - April 26, 2009
idk dude
lexmarklover - April 26, 2009
You've got a point there.
He’s been out for a while now.
Vermont Cubs Fan - April 26, 2009
He's pinch hit a number of times, however.
dtpollitt - April 26, 2009
exactly
if he hadn’t done that, then he could be placed on the DL retroactively to an earlier date (and come back sooner), but as of right now, it can only go back to April 25.
Bill Potter - April 26, 2009
cause he's probably
not 14 days away from being healthy.
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
You mean physically or mentally healthy?
razzpunk - April 26, 2009
physically
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him mentally.
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
Hill
lines to third. Nice diving stop. Three outs.
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
Koyie rips a shot down third....
He’s hitting the ball real well. Nice play or that’s a double.
carmen_fanzone - April 26, 2009
Gregg gives up a double to Duncan
carmen_fanzone - April 26, 2009
Duncan
doubles off Gregg.
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
sigh
Emelie - April 26, 2009
Gregg....sigh....
razzpunk - April 26, 2009
where's wood when u need him? how bout derosa?
i keed, i keed
cubswgnrocks - April 26, 2009
Flyout...one down
carmen_fanzone - April 26, 2009
Fly out to center.
Runner doesn’t advance.
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
Schumacker flies to center.
One out. Duncan still at 2nd.
Vermont Cubs Fan - April 26, 2009
Lineup guesses for tomorrow night's game?
razzpunk - April 26, 2009

cubswgnrocks - April 26, 2009

3. Dome….

xene - April 26, 2009

Emelie - April 26, 2009
Kevin Gregg sucks. The Turtle from Entourage lookalike just sucks.
dtpollitt - April 26, 2009
he handled
Pujols pretty well, I’d say.
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
carmen_fanzone - April 26, 2009

drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009

drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
I knew
that had to be too good to be true…
CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) - April 26, 2009
Some of your
comments are really out of line.
sue369 - April 26, 2009
totally
Emelie - April 26, 2009
have a good one, everyone.
good to be back in the game threads.
Bill Potter - April 26, 2009
Nice way to break out of it
Bats came alive today, pitching was solid up and down the line. (Well, Cotts wasn’t particularly impressive, but …)
Now they have to focus on getting healthy and playing well in Arizona, a place where they often struggle. But the Diamondbacks are not in good shape right now.
Late night tomorrow — always love West Coast games. Baseball at 9 p.m.? Awesome.
Not Bruce Froemming - April 26, 2009
for Cotts
that was impressive. Two whole outs!
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
Baby steps, I suppose
He’s just got to stop walking people. I think if he does that, he’ll be OK. But he keeps doing it.
Not Bruce Froemming - April 26, 2009
Great to see some players coming through....
much better way to end the weekend……just hope some of our wounded heal quickly….but maybe this will press us to make our bench better…
razzpunk - April 26, 2009
where are all the lemmings?
probably playing X Box in their parent’s garages

GateCity, VA Cubs Fan - April 26, 2009
Let's have a better week next week....win some series.....
razzpunk - April 26, 2009
It'll be tough
Arizona is a tough place for the Cubs, and the Marlins always have been hard on them. Plus that’s a four-game series. But if the starting pitching holds, I think they’ll be fine.
Not Bruce Froemming - April 26, 2009
the marlins
have been reeling this year. And Arizona isn’t the team we faced two years ago.
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
Oh, absolutely
The Marlins have cooled considerably. And the Diamondbacks aren’t what they once were. If they can do well against both of them, especially in that house of horrors in Phoenix, it might augur well. And you’ve got to figure at least Marmol, Ramirez and Lee will be back at some point in that stretch.
Not Bruce Froemming - April 26, 2009
I just
want to get runs. I HATE that stadium in Arizona. I HATES IT, MY PRECIOUS!
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
See, Cubs Fans?
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
Key stat for the day
the bullpen only gave up ONE RUN.
drewishdrewid - April 26, 2009
Everybody
The game recap is up.

Anzac Day, right?
Not Bruce Froemming - April 26, 2009
Bingo!
CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) - April 26, 2009
The trusty desk calendar
says it was Saturday, but I guessed the Aussies do what we usually do when the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday.
Not Bruce Froemming - April 26, 2009
Actually..
only those of us in the ACT (Australian Capital Territory) get the Monday off like this.. :)
CubFanInCanberra (9387milesfromWrigley) - April 26, 2009
Post game on WGN (Gameday) has hit a lull...
so I really am outta here.. ’night!

Take care
