Cubs vs. Padres Official Game Thread...

Carlos Silva just finish a light side session at Wrigley. 1 week from the small heart procedure.

 

[Dano]

I think we snatch one off of a good offensive show like yesterday

 

[waldo7239117]

Todays lineup:

RF Kosuke Fukudome
SS Darwin Barney
CF Marlon Byrd
3B Aramis Ramirez
1B Xavier Nady
LF Alfonso Soriano
2B Blake DeWitt
C Koyie Hill
P Tom Gorzelanny

Game Notes:
* Lee still day-to-day with back stiffness
* No Colvin? I don't get it. Just fuckin trade Kosuke already. Colvin should be playing.
* Castro is having a scheduled day off.
* No Castillo? What the Cubs called him up to rot on the bench and play Hill? What a smart move, NOT...... Castillo could be backup C next year and he's showing nothing. Then when Soto come back in about a week or so, he gets sent down. However, he will play Wed. but he should play more.

 

[waldo7239117]

Derrek Lee says he will only miss a couple of days with the bulging disc in his back.

 

[waldo7239117]

Soto will take BP Tue for the first time since going on the DL.

 

[waldo7239117]

First major league hit for Darwin Barney. A 2B.

 

[JustinTCB]

LMAO, Byrd lines out, Aramis strikes out.

Any chance Nady gets a hit?

 

[waldo7239117]

**** the fans. They can still see Colvin and probably Cashner, and they can see Barney.


Castillo's starting Wednesday.

LMAO, Byrd lines out, Aramis strikes out.

Any chance Nady gets a hit?

Nope, he walked.

Barney with his first hit.

Nice to see the minor leaguers getting some PT

 

[JustinTCB]

Well, Soriano bases loaded pop up.

It's a way of (L)ife

Where's Castillo? He should get playing time.

Lou is riding the "hot hand"

To be fair, Hill has been hitting okay the last few days, but I'd still rather see what Castillo can do.

Exaclty. Also, Soto is almost about to return from the DL and Castillo will be sent down. I don't like how this could play out.

He's really only getting 1 hit a game, so there's no need to play him because he's hot.

 

[waldo7239117]

That ball should of been caught...lucky hit for Kosuke.

 

[waldo7239117]

There hitting the ball hard but right at defenders.

 

[EnjoyYourTiger]

We're back to our old ways. Leaving runners on base in scoring position.

 

[zack54attack]

We've already seen what Noodle Arm Hill can do... Let's see Castillo.

Fonzie is slower than a turtle stampeding through peanut butter.

Fonzie is slower than a turtle stampeding through peanut butter.

He did not go on first move, he mae sure the pitcher was going home, then he ran. That was a hard pitch for DeWitt to hit.

 

[waldo7239117]

The Cubs can only beat good pitchers.
