That’s a few days old he pitched a clean inning yesterday for AA getting 3 groundball outs on 10 pitches (8 strikes). He has struggled during rehab but hopefully on right track

This, last night's effort was encouraging. With the Cubs training staff I am concerned that he comes back, isn't effective, and then they announce he needed surgery all along. As with Maton's tendinitis which then turned out to be a partial tear of a ligament needing surgery. Who are they consulting?

The track record of the training staff unfortunately speaks for itself.

And we really need to be hitting Liberatore asap as we need 2 of 3 this weekend and could really use a sweep while the brewers are playing the dodgers. Pretty gross feeling rooting for the dodgers

Solid win today wit one big blow coming from Suzuki's bat, and Holmes appeared to have knocked the rust off

WTF! A dude comes up to the majors and hits a homer in each of his first two at bats?

Make that 3

Make that 3

Most Cubs thing ever. Reminds me of a guy named Lou Brock.

Trivia time- Who was the Cub that hit 3 homeruns on opening day back in the day? Not sure he ever hit another one and was gone by the end of the season.

Tuffy Rhodes. Off Doc Gooden

Nothing like getting butt kicked by Cards

if Cabrera every pitches again for the cubs it will be too soon

Brewers have a 7 game west coast trip this week - 3 w Padres, 4 w Dodgers. And they're lineup is beat up. Good chance to knock some games off their lead.

That prediction looked good until it didn't...

Brewers keep winning, Cabrera sucks and Dansby got hurt. Not a great weekend.

It’s so unusual for a Cubs player to have an oblique injury …

This sets up the biggest Sox/Cubs series in memory.
Both teams in playoffs if season ends today with 39 games to go.

Pretty rare for this series this late.
Sox have Castillo tonite then 2 tbd starters on Tuesday and Wed...yikes.
Sox need to get one vs a hot cubs team 6 games better than Sox in the tougher NL.

It's relevant baseball in 2nd half of August...for suffering Sox fan....it's icing on cake after 3 straight 100 loss seasons...thanks Pope Leo!

 

[QChawks]

it could be worse Cub fans

Rumblings from Wrigley of a line shift. Kevin Alcantara and Owen Miller seen at the park. Javier Assad and Hoby Milner at the park.
Miller will require a 40 man move. I suspect Cabrera is going back on the IL due to a blister on his pitching hand. For sure Swanson is going on the IL. I suspect Triantos is going down.

Swanson out 4-6 weeks. Of course.

Cubs and White Sox fans fighting in stands gives me warm feelings

 

[Palmerhawk]

Sox fans won the battle but lost the game.
Entertaining ballgame despite the sad outcome

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

LFG!!!

Cookie Monster should be in the Cubs booth doing play by play.

Good karma here:

Cookie Monster is having his moment!

Make that 3

And, Baez then went 0-14 with 6 strikeouts.
Figures.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

LFG!!!

The game catches up to you pretty fast. It's humbling. Much like the Cardinal teams of the 1950s, at least @HoggI74 will have this one Saturday in August to cling to.

Refresh my memory of what the Cubs accomplished in the 50's...

Beating the Cubs is always nice but the Cards play for the big trophy. I cling to that...

Cards dominated the 60's, 80's. 00's and 10's. Remember, the Cards last 2 WS titles came as a wild card...

We gave everyone the code on where NOT to pitch to him

Nice rack. Harry's weren't that bad for a guy his age.
