    Well...no matter how you slice it, Chris Sale just couldn't cut it tonight against our beloved Cubs.

    It's nice to have some stress free 9th innings. Been a long time since I've felt that way.

    Coghlan back and hitting leadoff today. What a joke. That bum shouldn't be on a mlb roster. Not sure who got sent down. Rumor is lastella. Will be pissed if it was contreras.

    Why has Bryant been batting 2nd and Zobrist clean up? I love Maddon, but sometimes he's a bit too quirky with the lineup.

    I don't know why they traded for him in the first place. Dude was batting what? Under .150 in Oakland? And not doing much better since we reacquired him. La Stella's up near .300 and great to have either off the bench or to give someone a day's rest.

    Reed Johnson still has my fav Cubs catch in my life. That diving catch he had going head first into the wall at Washington.

    I was at that game! Was also at one in Wrigley vs the Yanks where he robbed Cano diving into foul territory. That guy gave 110% on every play!

    Nice. I also remember him climbing the wall in Milwaukee robbing Princess Fielder of a grand slam on ESPN Sunday night baseball.

    Just heard JA Happ was scratched from minor league start today. Rumor is they are working on getting a younger SP.
