QUOTE (scenario @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 10:53 PM) A decent outing for McCulloch in the loss: 7 innings; 2 runs on 5 hits; 3 K's and 1BB That's pretty much the standard McCulloch line.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 10:57 PM) Do i call into work? Do it. This is our can't miss prospect. We might not see this again for quite some time.

I think we should all remember this day. I just have that feeling.

I don't know if i can describe how excited i am.

This is it, kids. This is the start of a new era.

I'm hearing Beckham is up. Can anyone comfirm. Ozzie press conference, right now.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 10:45 PM) Wise is playing himself out of a job rather quickly guys, don't worry. The garbage always filters out. Anderson is still here because he is not garbage. Wise has been playing like this since august of last year. He's not leaving unless KW forces him out of the organization.

Brian Anderson needs to be traded. It's the best for everyone. i'll miss him, but it's our only option. Ozzie wants to live and die with Wise then fine, just give BA a shot to make something out of his talent.

Is Wise batting .164 now?

Thank you for Wise, Ozzie. That was a major league quality 3 pitch strikeout.

Come on! f***, Josh. Jeez.

Seriously, Josh?

ohhh... Paulie just missed that.

Alexei! Make Up Call!

f***! f***! f***!

Dye swings at crap. YAY

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 10:23 PM) Why not? Ozzie's a player's manager, so he's going to stick up for members of his roster. A player should earn a managers respect, not be given it unconditionally, regardless of performance.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) It's not slavish just yet...it's only been a few games, thanks to Wise's injury. Couple more weeks and we can legitimately use that word. This article really set me off. You can not have your manager defending a guy whose hitting .179 like that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 10:17 PM) Ozzie's already gone out of his way to tell the fans not to get too excited about Beckham. I'm sure you're right. I don’t want, nor do I think, that Ozzie will fired, but his slavish devotion to Wise is nearing an fireable offense.

I just read the Ozzie/Wise thing. If this is true, KW needs to release Wise as soon as Q gets activated. We can not let Ozzie continue to do this.

Jon Gilmore seems to be past his learning curve.

Cubs take the lead in the 11th on an opposite field hit by HoffPauir

Awesome. Crap.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) this is why no one should be saying anderson or wise should be starting. Anderson's arm and glove is still worth the start.
