Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 - Glendon Rusch started in place of Mark Prior today. Hoo-ray! - Miguel Cabrera's young, but he's such a baby. He and Scott Olson had an incident in the dugout, highlighted by Cabrera poking Olson in the face like a five-year-old and Giradi scolding a pouting Cabrera like said five-year-old. - Adam Dunn's a monster.

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted July 9, 2006 1. Why did Tits get the start over Prior? 2. Prior isn't hurt too, is he? 3. Seriously, Glendon Rusch? 4. Serious? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Prior's a bitch. He strained his oblique taking BATTING PRACTICE. Not only is he not in there today, but he's questionable for his next start after the break. In Cub language, that means he'll definitely miss his next start.

In Cub language, that means he'll definitely miss his next start. I thought in Cub language that meant he's done for the season? Andrew Jones just hit a BOMB to make it 8-3 Braves over the Reds. They are beating the Reds all around the diamond right now. Back to the Cubs I go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 In non-Glendon Rusch news, Chris Capuano is taking Tom Glavine's spot in the All-Star Game. In Glendon Rusch news....BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Edit: Oh, wait...the Cubs are winning and Glendon Rusch is pitching a halfway decent game. I rescind 2/3 of that "BWAHAHAHAHA"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlwaysPissedOff 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Damn, Thomson leaves in the second, yet the bullpen manages not to fuck things up for once and the Braves basically beat the crap out of Arroyo with that Andruw shot being the nail if the coffin if they keep it up. Damn, that was a sweet double play, too. Being a Braves' fan this is almost the the most frustrating thing alive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mik 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Actually Bruiser, that was Olsen's fault. He's the one w/ the problem. 1) Fistfight w/ Randy Messenger earlier this year 2) Had to be chewed out by Joe Girardi in the dugout earlier this year while he was pitching 3) He said something to Cabrera because he thought he was dogging it. Either way - it wasn't a good incident, but I'm guessing that Scott Olsen is not the most popular Marlin in the clubhouse. And the abortion that is Reggie Abercrombie has practically handed this game to the Mets on a silver platter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd imagine if the Cubs turn things around in the second half and somehow seek back into third place then Dusty will be back. Took Jacque Jones half the damn season to start hitting the ball but he is finally doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2006 Glad to hear about Chris Capuano getting on the NL team for the All-Star Game. He does deserve it, and it makes sense, since IIRC the NL only has one other lefty pitcher. This is the first time since 1983 that the Brewer have had more than 2 players in the All-Star Game.
