CUBS WIN! Wells Dominates Again, Sam Fuld Passes The Audition, and Len Kasper’s DeRosa Man Crush

by MiserableCubsFan on July 2, 2009

I hope Milton Bradley is starting to feel the pressure of yet another Cubs minor leaguer making a quality debut. This time it's Sam Fuld with a couple of hits (including his first major league hit) and an outfield assist as he (when did this last happen) threw a runner out at home!

Randy Wells dazzled once again with seven super strong innings allowing only one run. AND it was great to see Carlos Marmol settle down after hitting his seventh batter of the season. Thanks to the Pirates for chasing all those sliders way out of the zone.
Other Quick Notes: I think Lou Piniella went semi-nutso on the umpire in order to give Wells a little extra time to recoup after running hard down the line. Also, I think Len Kasper has a man-crush as he continues his nightly updates on the detailed happenings of Mark DeRosa. All in all, it was nice to watch strong pitching, some home runs, and good defense. Now, if only we could do something about all those double plays ...

Mark DeRosa Saying Goodbye on 720 – We Better Get Peavey!

by MCF on January 2, 2009

It's been proven that we get a little misty-eyed (and perhaps a tad too attached) when beloved sports figures leave Chicago, however, I'm still trying to figure out how this trade benefits the Cubs -- especially if a Peavey trade does not happen. Some have said that (like calling the top on a stock chart) Hendry is "selling high" on DeRosa and this is the best that we can get -- three pitching prospects for the 2009 DeRosa. But DeRosa could play any and all positions rather well! I'm stumped and it saddens me even more to hear this interview. Like DeRosa's Dad claims, all will be forgiven if we get Peavey!
