Soriano better not see the field. If he is not the DH all 3 games then I am going to become seriously concerned with Quade. The Campana/Reed Cobb combo out in LF should be a thing.

Its going to be interesting to see how Davis fairs and what the plan is going forward with Wells probably returning late next week. If he is good then I would probably think Coleman is either in the Pen or in AAA because they can't just send Davis down....they would have to basically release him if they didn't want him. I want Maine to stay for a while.

Agreed on Soriano. Maybe they can leave him in Boston with 70M for a bum to be named in 10 years. Coleman should get demoted to master his control. It'll be interesting to see what Z does on the mound given he won't be hitting.

Last year, Coleman only walked 35 guys in 117 innings in Iowa. He's a Mark Buehrle type who pitches for contact and relies on his defense heavily. Not sure where his control issues are coming from

Coleman sucks, that is why he should be demoted.

I'm not helping with my thread titles

Soriano in Left. ARam DH'ing.


Curious decision.

#Cubs SS Castro, 2B Barney, 3B Baker, DH Ramy, 1B Pena, CF Byrd, LF Soriano, RF Johnson, C Hill

That is shit. Quade just lost some points with me. I am one of the last defenders here and I dont get why Soriano isnt your DH. That is stupid.

That is it. He is officially a god damn moron. There is no excuse for this Quade. Unacceptable.

I keep re-reading the lineup and hoping that it will change....but it doesn't. What is he thinking? What is he possibly thinking by this. I never thought he would become another Lou appeasing veterans like this.

I wonder if this is Hendry's genius idea to make aram look attractive to an american league team for a potential trade.

Baker got a hit!!! He should be at 3rd with aram on the pine not at DH with his career .156 average as a DH.

Gotta love a passed ball by Koyie. Way to go!!

2 on nobody out.....great start.

Nice fucking throw to 3rd.

Great fucking defense Quade.

Baker, Barney and even the awful Aram come through and then Pena plays fundamental baseball and we have a tie ball game.

Davis is not having a night....and that sucks because I wanted him to do good.

Scott Maine time. He is going to have to prove himself with a mop.

I wish he was manning a mop instead of the mound.

These fucking guys blow.

Aram can veto any trade and Hendry gave him a clause guaranteeing him 16M in '12 if traded.

Bill Buckner was one helluva hitter, esp. in the clutch. If he had played on 2 good legs, he'd have been over 3000 hits and in the HOF. In his early years, he could fly.

Great hitter, but he absolutely sucks monkey balls with a mic in front of him.

Where is Bob? I like him calling a game. I knew it wasn't him....didn't know it was Buckner....but I never heard the reason Bob was out.

No matter the case, Hendry needs a good ol' punch in the sack.

Reed Cobb!!!!!

It kicks in if traded.

•Don’t count on seeing Aramis Ramirez’s name on MLBTR much this summer. Not only can the third baseman veto any trade, a deal would guarantee him $16MM in 2012 (though he could still opt out).
per mlb trade rumors

Wow....I knew Hendry gave out some bad contracts....but this is a new low even for him.

BTW....there was a great Crane Kenney sighting from atop the Green Monster earlier in the game.

Is it wrong for me to hope he takes a thirty-odd foot tumble?

The only good sighting would be if he fell off (or was pushed).
