He might be called up tomorrow, we have 13 pitchers up right now, so one would go back down. After Fukudome's game today though I say leave center field alone!

Thanks SC Cy for the insight, makes sense I guess. Will be interesting to see how they are in a couple of years.

nowhere for Fuld to play. Look SS 1B 3B in a return. Has to be someone who can play right away, maybe Hoff,maybe Vitters.

Nowhere on the Pirates, or the Cubs?

Hey Carnac, would you mind giving us a first name for Vizcanio? Right now there isn't anyone with that name on the 40 man.

Or do you mean Jose Ascanio?

maybe lillys injury will take a while longer than expected, so we bring in a good lefty starter in gorzelanny and a lefty for the bullpen and give up KHart who was starting in lillys spot. jst a guess

Hart, Ascaino, Harrison

is it official?

**Cyclone90** · 07-30-2009, 05:09 PM

Yes. Hendry announced it at a presser after the game. Kaplan from WGN was talking about it live on KXNO.

If they lose any of them I will be disappointed.

Marshall will probably sub in the rotation till Lilly returns with the Pirate guys and Ryan battling for left handed spots in the pen.

Quit making fun of Miles;
Aaron Miles gets another chance with Cubs :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Cubs

The masked gunman had Aaron Miles in a headlock and pressed a semiautomatic against the back of his head. The police and five of Miles' teammates were outside in the parking lot. The police repeatedly yelled for the gunman to surrender. But the gunman wasn't about to go peacefully. After about a half-hour, Miles, the gunman's lone hostage, had had enough.
''I had visions of being shot,'' said Miles, who signed a two-year contract with the Cubs last week. ''Of never seeing my family again. Of being dead. I felt I had to do something. The feeling kept growing. I decided that if he gave me a chance, I was going to turn on him and wrestle the gun away.''
