Stewart will probably be non-tendered next year.

I think Stewart is back next year..nobody to take his spot..but he will still suck.

I'm pretty sure I'm done, but I must comment on my guy Speeps posting the "walk on water" picture. Epstein was legitimately upset, while enjoying the ego stroke, by that picture. It's the type of bullshit that leads to dumb conversations on this board, and everywhere else.

No. I know you're happy.

The Cubs hit a guy and the next batter hit a 3 run HR.

I know. That's why I worded it thataway.

It's what's called in the business a double entendre.

Tough night for Germano.

And in comes Lendi "yes my ERA is over 10" Castillo.

Hey, the Cubs showing some God Damn Pride.

Clevenger(sp?) has that winner's attitude.

They really had to do something. This series has been as one sided as you will ever see at the major league level. How many home runs have the Nats hit? 15? 16? That's a joke.

Not at all.

I'm seriously you guys.

Yep.

Desmond hit a double. Next guy was hit. Kurt Suzuki hit a HR.

Thank God the Cubs started throwing inside. That sure showed those Nats.

well, Wellington. Castillo gets my vote for starting catcher now. Send the other moron back down to the Jackhammers, or wherever they are now.

Ah, send him to actual jackhammers.

Who cares?

Sveum on series: ``probably one of the biggest butt whoopings I've ever gotten in my career, as a coach or player.''

The Cubs apparently think this is Little League

The scene: Nationals Park, during the fifth inning of the last night’s Cubs-Nats game, Nats up 7-2. The incident: Cubs bench coach Jamie Quirk is jawing from the dugout — after he was ejected umpire Jerry Layne referred to it as “screaming out obscenities,” and Nats third-base coach Bo Porter jawed right back at him. The reason, according to Cubs catcher Steve Clevenger:

“You’re up 7-2, Lendy Castillo’s pitching, it’s 3-0. You don’t swing in that situation”

This referring to Jayson Werth swinging at a 3-0 pitch just prior. Also agitating the Cubs was the fact that the Nats stole two bases that inning.

The next inning, things got chippier, when Castillo threw at Bryce Harper. Benches cleared. While everyone later said the requisite “he didn’t mean to do that” stuff, Patrick Mooney of CSNChicago.com observes that Clevenger didn’t move an inch to catch the ball that Harper had to jump out of the way to avoid, so he knew where that pitch was headed. And then he was in the middle of the scrum that developed. Quirk was ejected, as was Clevenger and Cubs reliever Manny Corpas.

The overall assessment: total amateur hour by the Cubs. Maybe it’s wrong for 12 year-olds to run up the score on one another, but this is the big leagues. Guys are going to steal bases and swing on 3-0. They won’t stop trying just because you’re getting your asses kicked all over the park. Don’t like your asses getting kicked all over the park? Play better.

7-2 isnt a big enough lead to start bitching about unwritten rules of sportsmanship. 9-2 absolutely but a 5 run lead can be overcome.... In theory.

Cubs put up six on the Brewers in one inning less than a week ago.

25 games left of which 9 are against COL and HOUS. They need to win 12 to not lose 100.

Doubtful.

I hope they lose 100.

Go big or go home.
