Colvin sucks ass

Both Ramirez and Colvin hit baseballs about as hard as you can. When they're caught on a line like that it's simply bad luck. Do you honestly expect them to hit the balls so hard that it puts a hole in the fielder's glove?

I'd take DeWitt over Colvin, and seeing as there are guys that put up DeWitt's #s for the same price thru FA, I won't be upset if this is Colvin's last year in Chicago.

League minimum? :lol: You can get replacement level players by the bushel at Costco.

Nice game by Wells. Don't care who it's against, a 2-hit shutout is a career accomplishment.

Who would have thought that a battle between Wells and Lincecum finishing with one pitcher throwing a 2-hit shutout, and the other going 6 IP 6 Hits, 4 Runs.... that it would be Wells doing the out-dueling?

Probable pitchers:

Probable Pitchers | cubs.com: News

Their pitchers are better than our pitchers.

Offenses probably equally suck.

Lineup for tonight:

SS Castro
2B DeWitt
3B Ramirez
1B Pena
CF Byrd
RF Colvin
LF Soriano
C Soto
P Wells

If they can sneak one run off of Lincecum and Randy Wells can refrain from sucking and pitch a lucky shutout...

Well you called that one sir.

Great game by Wells. I know SFG lineup is bad but hopefully this gives him confidence. He has pitched well last 5 outings. Maybe he can be legit 4th SP

What an amazing pick up for the first round of the playoffs this week.

Him and Wandy (both pick ups) were worth a combined 60 points.

Amazing what being healthy can do.

That said, he still should be a solid 4th starter.

This definitely isn't a typical start. I mean he's facing a AA team.

He's still good enough to be a very good back of the rotation guy. Especially at the price.

Plus for fantasy him vs SFG an PIT in one week is sexy. As is Wandy vs PIT.

Wells will be dropped (if I win) at weeks end.

My team got ravaged by injury. Rollins Ludwick Josh Tomlin, and Quentin all went down :(

I still have a bye this week though :woot:

Yeah I know how that is. Losing beltre and weeks has hurt but if I can make it another week I might be in good shape.

Picking up Uggla at the beginning of thy run of his was amazing can't believe he was available.

Adam Dunn being a worthless **** hasnt helped all season. Worst keeper ever.
