Yesterday's game managed to make me not hate Gregg and Miles. On the other hand, the Cotts and Gathwrong Wrath-O-Meters are at danger levels.

Gathwright pinch hitting was the suckfest I thought it was going to be when I saw him in the on deck circle.

Also, my Gregg hatred has abated.

Neal Cotts: not dead yet.

QuoteThe Cubs will call up Jeff Samardzija from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday to join the bullpen, general manager Jim Hendry said Wednesday.

Neal Cotts is in no danger of being optioned, and Hendry said Sean Marshall will remain in the rotation. This could mean Luis Vizcaino is in danger of being released.

Milton Bradley is back in right field tonight. We'll have more later after Lou Piniella talks to the media.

If Luis Vizcaino is released and Domer Eyechart is recalled, I will be older than every single Chicago Cub.

I kind of feel bad for Vizcaino.  I mean, I know the guy sucks, and I was all prepared to hate him and all, but his performance so far this year didn't warrant it

Of course, that also probably means he was due to explode like most of the bums who have worn #51 (Terry Adams, Mel Rojas, Brian Williams etc...)
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

Neal Cotts serves no fucking purpose. Whatever potential benefit his left-handedness brings is destroyed by the fact that he can't throw a fucking strike.

Now would be a good time for Cotts or Vizcaino to fall down the dugout steps.  You get paid on the DL, guys.  Embrace that fact.

Still angry that Yellon "wrote" the book you were planning, huh?

Joey Votto just went yard off Cotts.  Why is he still on the roster?

Because the Reds really like his upside.

Oh, wait...

No, you're correct.  I'm sure the Reds are exstatic about the upside of Cotts being on the Cubs.
