Kosuke Fukudome

Actually hate to see him go. Dude wasn't a bad player, just wildly overpaid. But that's not his fault.

I do think he might be slightly retarded. Which isn't his fault either.

We'll always have Kosuke's debut on opening day 2008 when it was all sunshine and lollipops, except for the actual weather. First at bat, ripped a double off the wall off Ben Sheets (remember him?) Last at bat, a game-tying 3 run bomb off Gagne (remember him?) in the 9th to wipe the slate clean after Kerry's inauspicious debut as closer.

Unfortunately Brown Spot Borb gave the lead right back and they fell in 10 to those shitheels from Milwaukee. But I was dead certain as I left the park that day that Kosuke was going to combine patience of Matt Murton with the power of Todd Walker and nothing could stop him.

They'll probably just release him and eat the whole contract.  Great.

Yep. I know Zambrano is a nut but I'm going to go ahead and blame nurture over nature and believe that the Cubs have destroyed his ability to think critically.

Ain't that the truth.  Everybody get ready for the Casey Coleman Show!

Starlin Castro.

(No, he's not going anywhere, but he might as well. The next window of opportunity will open in 2025 or so, when Castro's a member of the San Jose A's or the Havana Marlins.)

DPD.  Apparently Jim thinks Zambrano is serious about retiring, in which case there will be no contract to eat.

DPD.  Apparently Jim thinks Zambrano is serious about retiring, in which case there will be no contract to eat.

And by extension, would arguably make this the best night the Chicago Cubs have had since September 2008.
