I don't even like Tommy La Stella that much but why in the fucking fuck do they think having Coghlan on the roster instead of him for even a day makes any fucking sense? Christ on a bike this is dumb.

LaStella is decent off the bench. Coghlan is tits on a bull.

"We need OF depth" then fucking give La Stella an OF glove. If he's not "worst outfielder in the majors" level bad, congrats, he's better than Chris Coghlan! Who has been, and I really can't stress this enough, the worst outfielder in baseball this year.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

You guys are a tough crowd.  He is a left handed bat who is hitting .295.  So he isn't Babe Ruth or Ted Williams.  Nonetheless, he seems to be a pretty good choice for inclusion in the line up every so often.

We're not saying he should start, we're saying he's a better player than Chris Fucking Coghlan who is completely useless and also probably kind of a dickhead to boot. "I'm bad only because Joe Maddon doesn't play me every day. I, the great Chris Coghlan, require consistent playing time, otherwise you deserve what happens." What an asshole.

I agree on La Stella. That's why I was saying it's dumb to demote La Stella to the minors to make room for Coghlan, who is bad.

Tommy must be kicking himself for not hitting 5 points better so he could stay.

Are you talking about Chris Coghlan? He's hitting .155 this year -- .194 for the Cubs. That doesn't include the weak tapper he just hit back to the mound.

What about that two-run single he just dropped into center? La Stella would have fucked that up for sure. #CubForLife

Cool, he's up to a balmy .158 on the year. All he needs to do is go 26 for his next 26 and he'll be above the league average!

Far be it from me to defend Sterling but I daresay that was sarcasm on his part.

Is pinch hitting for Montero down 2 with a runner in scoring position in the 8th not an option?

He just drew a walk but still. He objectively blows.

Between sending down La Stella in favor of Coghlan, giving Matusz a start because fuck it why not, and using Joel Peralta at all it feels like the Cubs are using the rest of the season for roster tinkering rather than winning which is pretty fucking dumb considering their lead is now longer even remotely close to insurmountable
