who pitched for my highschool. He was good but erratic with the control and had glasses/hair like Gregg. I mentioned that one time when he was blowing saves and it stuck. :)
Unlike Blou I don’t see him as MLB starter even the back end. We need a lefty arm in the BULLPEN. Grabow will be an FA anyway so let them have something decent for HIM and be done with it.
to the six games we play the mutts in aug/sept whether we take 1st place or wc. would love to see heilman ‘spot-started’ and throw the 1st nono at shittyfield in flushing, ny
get a chance to start against the mets. we play them 6 times in late aug/early sep. we cewrtainly shall have iced down a playoff spot by then. it would be ironic were aaron to throw a no-hitter gainst his former teammates?
4:43pm: Finally a possible name as part of the package going to Pittsburgh. Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus, via Twitter, hears pitching prospect Jay Jackson may be in the deal.
i dont know how if thats a good deal or a bad deal
6th round pick last year. Played well in low A last year.
Here is what it says on his bio page:
<Was named Northwest League Postseason All-Star…started professional career with Class A Short-Season Boise…batted .351, 27 runs scored, 25 RBIs, 11 doubles, two triples, one homer)…went 4-for-5 with season-high four RBIs in 10-4 win over Tri-City on July 16…played final 31 games of season with Class A Peoria in Midwest League (.262, 15 runs, 4 RBIs).
Good morning – Dome has 3 hits and 4 RBIs, assisted by personal hitting coach Kyosuke Sasaki? Well, you should hire him and then we don’t have to listen to his horrible commentary on NPB game on TV… :-P
Atkins pitched pretty well
I like games like this. :-)

He will have a nice memory to take on the plane to Iowa tomorrow.
That and a nice chunk of change for making the MLB roster.

not surprising. the summer of rain continues!
Allie - July 30, 2009

no not really.
i’m just tired of rain.
Allie - July 30, 2009
Has been really dry in the last month in the city
chilango2 - July 30, 2009
Not here in NW IN
we’ve gone maybe 3 days straight w/o rain at any point since March.
Allie - July 30, 2009
One quick thought:
I hate how the Dodgers and the Phillies got so much better. That is all.
chilango2 - July 30, 2009
Well I wish the Dodgers
would get better tonight.
CubbieintheSouth - July 30, 2009

slcathena - July 30, 2009

WanderingWanderer - July 30, 2009
He doesn't know.....

I wish somebody did
WanderingWanderer - July 30, 2009
I wish we could
have more awkard moments by Ron……like when he was talking to Denise Richards about Charlie Sheen
jthack - July 30, 2009
Going to the 9th
Jody Jody Davis - July 30, 2009
I'm happy to see
that the Cubs have done so much to make tickets cheaper for Houston next series.
slcathena - July 30, 2009

let’s get this done quickly! I’m blowing off a meeting for this…

there goes Fukudome's chance at the cycle
I hope, anyway – we better not be batting in the bottom of the 9th.

Can we do more of that please?
slcathena - July 30, 2009

the weirdest part of that stat

WanderingWanderer - July 30, 2009
OT: Any homebrewers here?
CubbieintheSouth - July 30, 2009
I haven't done up a batch in a couple of years now
but I keep telling myself that I need to start again.
wallrock - July 30, 2009
I need to get off my butt
and do a batch myself. What do you brew most of?
CubbieintheSouth - July 30, 2009
Ambers and Pales, mostly
I tried an Alt last but it didn’t come out the best.
wallrock - July 30, 2009
IPA and Imperial's for myself

Question
can flaming bats travel to South FLA?
Would be really nice to take this show on the road.
Allie - July 30, 2009
They have to be ground shipped.
CubbieintheSouth - July 30, 2009
New TSA security regulations...
prohibit flaming bats, I think.
hokie316 - July 30, 2009
I'm really afraid of that stupid stadium in the middle of nowhere down in Florida
It always brings out the worst in the Cubs.

I hate that place.

MandMexpress12 - July 30, 2009
Gregg better hurry up. My dogs want to play ball
LAcarl519 - July 30, 2009
Tell them I will bring them some yuppie dog treats from New York
Doggie Stalker - July 30, 2009
stick to the natural stuff--lamb & rice. :-)
these guys only eat good natural stuff and no table scraps. They have great breath. No doggy breath.
LAcarl519 - July 30, 2009
Poor things
Typical California residents. You people need some junk food. Maybe I will pick them up something at Pinks.
Doggie Stalker - July 30, 2009
we go for raw
chicken, pork, tuna, tilapia, they’re spoiled.
Allie - July 30, 2009
My mom mail orders her dog food / treats from Cali...
… so that it’ll be all natural and whatever. The dogs absolutely FREAK at the sight of the UPS guy now.

Gah.
Why do we put him in these games?!
slcathena - July 30, 2009
He hasn't pitched in a while
Allie - July 30, 2009
ah, that's true.
okay. nevermind.
slcathena - July 30, 2009
he hasnt pitched since sunday
and only faced 1 batter
jesus christos - July 30, 2009

Who's stinky Ben?
Am I out of the loop?
bilbosbuttons - July 30, 2009
Gregg
cubsnlinux - July 30, 2009
Yup. I was out of the loop.
Don’t know why, but I like it!!!
bilbosbuttons - July 30, 2009
It was a name we had for a pitcher
who pitched for my highschool. He was good but erratic with the control and had glasses/hair like Gregg. I mentioned that one time when he was blowing saves and it stuck. :)
slcathena - July 30, 2009
No more walks, please
Jody Jody Davis - July 30, 2009
Bourn strikes out. two outs.
MandMexpress12 - July 30, 2009

2 outs, get em ready people.
KaliCub - July 30, 2009
Is that going to be three wins for Hart?
CubbieintheSouth - July 30, 2009
Yes.
drewishdrewid - July 30, 2009
Yes.
And each one is like finding a $20 bill in your coat pocket.
Jody Jody Davis - July 30, 2009
Vast speculation on the Pittsburgh newspaper site about the trade...
… which will allegeldy be announced right after the game ends.

Interesting the number of pirates fans who
want “something big” in return for Gorzo. I’ve never been impressed by him
WanderingWanderer - July 30, 2009
Those poor guys
If we thought we were a tortured fan-base, just read through those comments.
chilango2 - July 30, 2009
For heavens sake let them KEEP "Gorzo"
Unlike Blou I don’t see him as MLB starter even the back end. We need a lefty arm in the BULLPEN. Grabow will be an FA anyway so let them have something decent for HIM and be done with it.

bilbosbuttons - July 30, 2009
A trade thread wouldn't be the worst of ideas, actually.
chilango2 - July 30, 2009
if there is one, can someone link it?

CubbieintheSouth - July 30, 2009
i think it'll come down
to the six games we play the mutts in aug/sept whether we take 1st place or wc. would love to see heilman ‘spot-started’ and throw the 1st nono at shittyfield in flushing, ny
hah ah!
brian custer - July 30, 2009
HUH?
tony412 - July 30, 2009
Yea, you lost me man, lol
bilbosbuttons - July 30, 2009
i'd like to see heilman
get a chance to start against the mets. we play them 6 times in late aug/early sep. we cewrtainly shall have iced down a playoff spot by then. it would be ironic were aaron to throw a no-hitter gainst his former teammates?
brian custer - July 30, 2009
ironic? There's literally no chance of that happening
WanderingWanderer - July 30, 2009
if we have had a playoff spot guaranteed (or nearly so)
i think lou would do it
brian custer - July 30, 2009
Heilman sucks
Itchy - July 30, 2009
thanks
that adds a lot
brian custer - July 30, 2009
dude, if we want to win against the Mets
then Aaron Heilman should not see the freaking field
WanderingWanderer - July 30, 2009
Doesn't sound like Gorzo is part of the deal after all
WanderingWanderer - July 30, 2009
we better not have given up something good for just grabow. :(
slcathena - July 30, 2009
source?
if thats true… i have gained some of respect for jimbo
jesus christos - July 30, 2009
Is gorzo not that good? I am having a stupid moment, sorry
bilbosbuttons - July 30, 2009
AAAA player i hear
jesus christos - July 30, 2009
Reminds me of Rich Hill in many ways
tony412 - July 30, 2009
WanderingWanderer - July 30, 2009
he hasn't been very impressive so far, and is actually in AAA right now
WanderingWanderer - July 30, 2009
WGN Radio said Grabow with no mention of Gorz,
Sun Times is saying Grabow with no mention of Gorz.
WanderingWanderer - July 30, 2009
Haha!!! Anyone else see the "joining our show, already in progress"
On wgn? The next thing heard was " I’ll kill you bitches!!!" on scrubs, I laughed hard
bilbosbuttons - July 30, 2009
Scrubs is a great show!
Tangled Up In Blue - July 30, 2009
Never watched it, but that was the first thing I heard on the show
And I laughed hysterically

Scrubs?
God. I had a 14 year old repeat of “The Wayans Bros”.

Glad the Cubs were able to pound the final nail in his coffin today.

I like Ascanio
Isn’t Grabow like… 40?
