Ted Lilly threw off flat ground, felt some knee pain and is getting a MRI on it.

So according to my Cubs injury translator, he dislocated his patella and will miss 5 starts.

Fixed for accuracy.

Once again the Cubs will lead the league in injuries in "simulated" games

I just picture Lilly slamming his mitt on the mound.

 

Actually... that would be a cool gif...

That's been done before actually. Not sure where I saw it though.

That was one of the funniest moments Ive ever had while watching the cubs.

It really is a moment that sums up the Cubs.

I had forgotten that Dempster and Kevin Millar are best friends. They should be one of the more annoying pairings in Cubs history.

The Cubs will be even more mediocre than it appears at first blush if Kevin Millar can make their team.

I'm thinking I should probably send that picture to all of the Cubs friends.

Saw Tom Ricketts at a black tie affair at Union Station on Saturday...wanted to heckle him so bad but I remained silent. Goofy looking fellow

Dempster has to be one of the most annoying nerds I've seen on the Cubs. From his pointless glove flipping to his Word Series Guarantee, the Cubs brass should gag the guy.

They actually seem like a very nice family. Much less hateable than the corporation who has owned that team my entire life until now obviously.

Yeesh, already?

Asked about possible racial profiling among some media members in comparing Byrd and Bradley, Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee didn't mince words.

 

"It's ridiculous," Lee told Bruce Levine and Jonathan Hood on ESPN 1000's "Talkin' Baseball" Saturday morning. "If it was a white guy who came over [to the Cubs] would he be [called] the 'anti-Milton Bradley'? It just makes no sense. Marlon's a completely different guy. He wasn't traded for Milton. He signed here as a free agent, so why even bring Milton Bradley's name into it? It really makes no sense and it's just, again, the media trying to make something out of nothing."

It's rare that you'd ever say that a guy deserved an injury, but I think that it's accurate when it comes to Dempster's last year. He fell over the dugout fence because he's a Wrigley Field show-off, who needs to shout "look at me" to the fans at the park. For years, he was Cub funny guy with the local media; then he needed something else to occupy his attention-starved time. That's why he would do his stupid hop over the fence, and that's why he fell and hurt himself. It's the same phenomenon as the Soriano hop and the Zambrano break-the-bat-over-his-knee bit. Try baseball, gentlemen.

I feel bad for Lee. He's the guy the media asks these things to because he's actually approachable.

They really do, it was a cancer benefit and he purchased a table (just for an appearance) and booked right after dinner. Tables were not cheap but we all know it didn't bother them

Boers and Bernstein are doing a great segment ripping Pinella and the Cubs for pretending that this is some young hungry team who has no expectations.

 

Also, I love how every Cubs prospect just gets a pass when the way that system has hyped prospects and then fizzled, every one should be looked at with a critical eye.

Cubs sign Cuban Defector Serrano.

Milton Bradley finds the true reason he played badly last year.

"Two years ago, I played, and I was good. I go to Chicago, not good. I've been good my whole career. So, obviously, it was something with Chicago, not me."

"Just no communication," Bradley told the paper about his Cubs tenure. "I never hit more than 22 homers in my career, and all of a sudden I get to Chicago and they expect me to hit 30. It doesn't make sense. History tells you I'm not going to hit that many. Just a lot of things that try to make me a player I'm not."

It boggles my mind the pass Hendry gets in this town. He has arguably the worst non pitcher contract in the MLB stumbling around in LF for another 5 years (which, if you believe reports, the Cubs completely bid against themselves, I believe the only other report of a team having any interest was the Phills kicked the tires on him), he has had a consistent top 5 payroll and the team has made a grand total of 1 serious run during the playoffs, and you can argue that was in large part due to taking advantage of a Pitt fire sale, and he completely jumped the gun and misread the Bradley market last off-season and was made to look like a fool when Abreu, Dunn and even Ibanez inked their deals later, not to mention other bad moves.

I realize that the Cubs made a lot of mistakes with Bradley, but... Sorry Milton, this is 90% on you.

That is great. They have 2 young players in their lineup and they are young and hungry. The Sox have younger players at 3B, SS, 2B, RF and in the rotation and pen and they are old.
