All Jeff Keppinger does is hit. With Krivsky's infatuation with relievers, I wonder if the Sox could pull off a Wasserman/MacDougal + Masset/Hernandez/Perez deal for Keppinger.

Also... Paul Bako still has a job? WTF?

Adam Dunn's defense strikes again.

When I think of Paul Bako, I think of a soft fly out to Jeff Conine to end the 2003 NLCS. One of the favorite outs of my life.

is there ever a series where junior doesnt just crush the cubs?

I don't think he's been overly great against them in the past. It's usually Dunn that murders them. Lieber has nothing on his pitches, I'm shocked he's done as well as he has this year.

.320/.400/.553 with 8 HR 29 RBI in 141 ABs over the past 3 years against them

 

haha you are right about dunn though...

.259/.395/.633 with 18!!HR and 30 RBI in 166 ABs over the same 3 year span

 

both have crushed the cubs

I thought I heard them say today that Dunn has 34 career homers at Wrigley.

Griff with the shot. That's awesome. Lately it seems like every Cub fan I know has been off the hook cocky about their moderate start against the cream of baseballs crop (Pirates, Reds, a busted up Phillies team, and starting tomorrow, the Pirates again).

It's honestly hilarious.

Is the start of Dempster masking the reality that Ted Lilly is getting his tits lit up in cubdom? ERA north of 9.00 through 4 starts.

Here is the MP3 of the Reds Announcers on the cub fans.

That was amazing!

Marissa Miller, the super model, threw out the first pitch. I thought she was gonna bounce it up there but she winged it from the mound on a fly. I was kind of impressed.

Can she play for the Pirates? 3 gift runs for the Cubs, as the Pirates are making defense seem impossible.

The Cubs simply are beating bad teams. They show up, try to get a little bit of pitching, beat up on bp pitching from the opposition and try to barely win. I have a feeling when they go to the west coast, they are going to come home a beaten up team.

"You simply root against them. I've said it all winter, they talk about the team winning the division, and my comment is that they won't win it because at the end of the day, they still are the Chicago Cubs, and they will figure out a way to screw this whole thing up."

 

pwned!

JUST LIKE LAST YEAR, MARTY!!!

 

oh wait

I'm sure I'll take heat for this, but is Carlos Marmol the best set-up reliever in baseball? He reminds me so much of K-Rod when he first broke in.

It's frustrating that they count the games against the Pirates toward their record. Replace Pittsburgh with a Kansas City or Minnesota and you could subtract about 7 W's from their record at season's end.

 

Dropping 2 of 3 to that baseball team (allegedly) was the low point of the season for me.

Luis Rivas is still in the league???

He's awful, and he's been a disaster against the Cubs so far this year. I saw him in Durham a few years ago, and the talk around that club was he was a major juicer during his days with the Twins.

Go cubs Go is probably the gayest thing ever.

And Ben Sheets is hurt. The Brewers have no prayer if he can't stay relatively healthy.
