I'm going to develop, with spmack's help, a series of short films depicting ways Edwin Jackson could get murdered, or otherwise come to an unfortunate early demise.

In the name of art, of course.





....When is the next time the Cubs play in St. Louis?

Given tonight's theme, how about in the Sarlacc pit? Give your girl CGS a call for the scene ...

They have an incredible ground crew in Iowa...

The field conditions will be top notch in 2016.

Yippers!!!!!

I think this guy is a little too accepting of his faith. No fire in the belly!

Jackson might have finally pitched himself out of the Cubs rotation, while Javier Baez will return to his original position on a temporary basis.

Jackson’s last debacle -- a 8-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants -- was so convincing that he realized he might have lost his final chance to turn around a miserable season.


“Nobody wants to be moved,” said Jackson, who was booed during a four-run first inning and allowed seven runs in 2 2/3 innings. “If it happens, the only thing you can do if you don’t like it is to pitch your way out of jams. You just have to relax and have fun and have to get back to having fun. (Wednesday) was an example of not doing it.

“It’s not the end of the world. Would I be happy? I haven’t done anything to help it. You have to go out and pitch deep into games.”

Jackson’s ERA swelled to 6.09, and this equaled his shortest outing dating back to Sept. 28, 2013 at St. Louis.



“It’s just terrible,” Jackson said. “No excuse for it. I didn’t help myself, I didn’t help my team. A prime example of not loosening it up and let the game come to you.

"If (a change) happens, it happens. You know I haven’t really gone out and made it an easy decision for the organization or the team. It’s one of those things you have to take it in stride, not going deep in games as a starter isn’t beneficial for the team especially when you get paid to go deep into games. You deal with it as it comes.”

I wonder if the Cubs will be able to accomplish the unprecedented feat of losing to an NL team AND an AL team on the same day.

Ah. Well then I guess the lovable losers will just have to settle to losing two games on the same day.

I'd be on the phone with the Angels today to see if they would be interested. Teams that haven't had Jackson in the past love him

The team you follow is 59-68 and cruising toward a second straight last place finish.

I just checked. They're still 59-68 even after that post.

If Edwin Jackson is the worst move Theo makes, then you will be adding a 20xx next to 1908.

Looks like they are playing this game at The Cell.
