    Man, we're on a roll! I can't wait to be in Chicago next weekend. The city is going to be electric! I really feel like we have a chance to put this thing away on this home stand. Not taking anything for granted though. Been burned too many times.

    Getting tired of LaStellas bs. I believe they should have kept him and cut Coghlan, but he was the only one who had options and that's what the higher ups chose. NO ONE is bigger than the team. I think they need to tell this selfish ass, report to Iowa in 48 hrs or you are done.

    I hope so. We are trying to win a championship. The last thing we need is bs distractions like this. No one is bigger than the team and the goals ahead.

    I understand he only wants to play for the cubs, but fuck dude, odds are you would be on the playoff roster.

    You cant keep up with hitting when you aren't facing live pitching.

    Yeah, I mean, I'd be a little perturbed if my .285 hitting ass got sent down to make room for a .150-something hitter. But fuck's sake, ride it out for a month and you'd be back up on the 40-man. Christ.

    Yeah, I believe those releases about him are PR moves also. He's mad because Cogs was kept. Not that I disagree that we shouldn't have got Cogs back in the first place. But for real. What a whiner. Force him into retirement for this one.

    Yeah. That looked like a very unassuming play, then he starts limping bad. That would be bad. Edwards did some impressive work though.

    I fear the worst with Strop, just assuming season ending, but MRI will tell. Edwards has to be new 7th inning guy if that's the case. How soon till Rondon is ready? I know he'sbeen shut down, but don't really know the severity.

    Let's take 3 of 4 from St. Louis.
    I would love to see them leave Chicago 14 games back.

    And I have a bad feeling Strop is done for the season.

    4-6 weeks, torn meniscus. Fuck. Not liking out chances tonight with
    6. Heyward
    7. Coghlan
    8. Ross
    9. Lester

    I don't like Ross having to catch lester but if you are going to do it you need a solid 1-7 in the order. Contreras or Baez should be starting tonight.

    Every now again, Maddon likes to run the crappiest team we got out there. Maybe just to remind us all how lucky we are to have our "A" team when it's out there.
