Mikael Cleto called up to replace Holliday (who should've been DL'd 2 weeks ago and would be about ready to come off now, but I digress).
Fantastic, we decide to go with a short bench again. In so doing, we've created a bullpen with 8 pitchers, 4 of whom are too old/ineffective to be trusted (Batista, Franklin, Miller, Tallet) and 1 of whom was pitching in A ball 3 weeks ago and therefore won't be trusted. So in essence, we have a 3 man bullpen (Motte, Sanchez, Salas) and a 3 man bench (because LaRussa refuses to burn his backup catcher). 2/3 of said bench is comprised of a SS that can't field or hit (Kozma) and another SS that should probably be playing 3b...and can't hit (Greene) This sounds like an excellent way to win baseball games in the National League. Anyone think they make this move if Brendan Ryan wasn't kicking ass in Seattle? They have to justify that trade somehow, so lets bring this kid up way before he's ready so Tony can bury his ass on the bench. Go away, Tony. Please just go away.

The debut of Lynn happens tonight. Threw 100+ pitches on Sunday. Making your major league debut on 3 days rest? They pushed back Garcia's start to start the kid on 3 days rest?
Typical Tony move.

yep, bringing up all these minor leaguers smells of showcasing trade bait. Wonder who Mo has his eye on?
but, for right now its paying off. Tied for the most wins in the NL.

Any of you ever been to Chicago for a Cards-Cubs series?
Thinking about heading up in August. Any tips/recommendations for tickets, Wrigleyville bars, etc would be appreciated. |

I don't have much to say besides Wrigley was an absolute dump of a stadium when I saw a game there.

One thing I've noticed is that there are more obstructed view seats than ticket sellers would lead you to believe. And ticket prices are crazy across the board. |

The lack of hitting discipline rears its ugly head yet again. Marmol has pitched 2 innings, and has thrown about 5 strikes. |
