sox are fucked tonight.

O ye of little faith...with the Cubs offense also being fail and Dempster unlikely to pitch a shutout I think you're giving your team too little credit.

I think this can go either way, as usual.

Brent Morel (back) confirmed he's a candidate for the disabled list.

Morel was scratched from Friday's lineup due to a reoccurring back injury, and missed a handful of games earlier this month. Clearly, the issue isn't behind him. Eduardo Escobar will continue to fill in at third base

they need to DL him to get another guy up here soon.

dempster has been brilliant. i used to love danks but this year his release point is off and he has control issues due to that. cubs dont need to bring the bats tonight, we will walk you guys all night.

We're trotting out like shit Eduardo Escabar at 3rd.

Sox have no power from 3rd base.

Who's next on the depth chart? I'm guessing anyone is better than Morel by default :lol:

Are they waiting out some contract/service time considerations or something? I imagine with the Sox being so close to the top in a weak division that they'd want to try something to get that extra boost.

I believe if mcpherson gets sent down he goes through waivers. thats how they lost stultz. I pipe dream a lot and hope that middlebrooks plays his ass off and youkilis is available. FA to be that has been injured, its doable. Kenny has to do something with 3b. this division sucks and we are lucky det is playing like ass.

If the Cubs end the entire season without getting shut out, they will be the shittiest team in MLB history to accomplish the feat.

I guess I should look up which other teams have also avoided the goose egg so far this season.
