Edwin Jackson started off poorly in the first but some poor fielding by the Phils and the Raw Power of one Donnie murphy and the 3 runs he drove in with a bomb have the Cubs up 4-1 early!!!

I will never understand the Edwin Jackson experiment.

Another disciplined performance at the plate with 10k's and 1 walk.

I had to turn it off about an hour ago. Couldn't take anymore.

God damn Swaimer?? How shitfaced did you get at the Irish Pol last night? You had to still have been sauced up when you put together today's lineup.

CF Lake
2b Barney
SS Castro
C Navarro
LF Neal
1b Ransom
RF Gillespie
3b Murphy
P Wood

Stop playing Gillespie already. Both him and his Oregon State buddy can't fucking hit.

So Murphy hits a 3run homer and sits the next night. He has been given orders from upstairs to lose!

Since he knew you were excited for his presence in the lineup he dropped another bomb tonight.

Didn't see it but with his history of being a whiny vajay I would assume Hamels drilled Murphy because he hit a bomb off him and he is sad knowing that he could lose his 14th game tonight.

At least it has come back to haunt you as the great Lake has given the cubs the lead.

Good thing Barney was batting in the 2 hole and came up and promptly struck out to end the rally. Really Dale?? 2nd?? Your pitcher tonight is a better hitter than Barney.

Now Utley blew up Navarro? Its fightin time I reckon...unless its not. I have no idea if the hbp was intentional or if Utley was clean on the play at the plate.

So Navarro probably has no ACL and Neal blew up his arm. 2 season ending injuries in 2 innings?? There is no backup catcher worth bringing up. Better go dumpster diving again.

I stepped away and thought they were replaying it.

How often do you see game-stopping baseball injuries?

I didn't see it at all

I would guess maybe 1 or 2 times per year. The Cubs have had a ton. Dejesus, Sweeney, Neal, Navarro.

Neal, Navarro to DL. Looks like Guerrier is headed there, too. Great game for the Cubs last night, injury-wise.

Awesome news on Navarro. Sounds like he just has a bruise and no structural damage. I think he got his bell rung too. Should be eligible to play as soon as a DL trip would allow.

Castro dropped to now 7th in the lineup?? You batted Barney 2nd the other day and now you have Castro 7th?? Do we have to keep trotting barney out there?? Can we not see Watkins at 2nd already. Would it be so fucking hard to keep barney on the bench where he would be with damn near every other team in the league?

Now I'm reading that Navarro might not go to the DL. Cubs to hold off and see how he heals.

Eduardo Sanchez is up for Guerier and one would assume Sappelt for Neal though I have no confirmation of that.

Boscan is up. No OF until they determine what to do with Navarro. If he is ready to go in a few then Boscan down and an OF up. If he goes to the DL then OF up then.

Dammit Shark. Stop sucking.

He had a horrible July and is keeping it going into August

1-2 in July with a 5.28 era. Opponents hit .268 and a .846OPS off him.

Everyone rags on Edwin Jackson, but Shark's season stats are starting to look pretty similar to Jackson's. If you think Jackson sucks, then throw Shark in there with him.

If you believe in FIP, Jackson is having a better season.


Hopefully this continues to drive Shark's $ down down down.

Ouch babe.

Glad the Cubs didn't make the same mistake with Shark the Sox did with Sale and increase his innings too fast.
