    Seriously? This is their 4th game in 48 hours. Pirates coming to town. I don't see how you could have a problem with it.

    Ramon Santiago??? How is he suddenly an everyday player (pretty much). At what point do you say,"We've got to find more ways to get this kid in the line-up?" Kyle Hendricks is like, "I thought they called me up to the majors. What the heck is this?"

    If Rizzo comes up again with nobody on and doesn't back away, I say get him again.

    Cub pitcher gets squeezed on both sides of the plate to start --- not good news for a finesse type guy

    Way to go, Heisey...4-pitch Walk to start the game...let everyone take a look at this guy's delivery.

    That's how you bat leadoff.

    I like Rizzo but he can stop whining. Stand with your arm over the plate and you'll get hit. Just once I'd love to see an umpire call that a strike.

Like the night Price pulled Cingrani early and you lost it for several innings and the next day Cingrani went on the DL. I'm not saying you can't be passionate you are free to post in whatever way you like but people are more likely to make mention of things you say when you lose it.
    Laying on a bit thick there. Did you miss the post where I said you make a good point that Bruce did have knee surgery earlier this season? Pretty level-headed about this decision by Price today. I don't agree with it, but it's not some huge deal. Flattered that you pay so close attention to my posts from 2 months ago though.

    He's suddenly a regular because that is what bench players become when 3 starters are out with injuries.

    It was a really bad joke having Choo in CF last year when Heisey was on the team.
