Cubs up 4-2

A-Ram and Sori with HR's

I really wish A-Ram would accept a trade. He would bring back a really nice haul

Agreed, I'd love to see what we can get for Ramirez.

Gotta say, for as much as I've dogged on Samardzija in the past, he's actually been pretty good this year.

Yea, Smarge has been a pleasant surprise. If he would lower his walk rate, he'd be dominant.

He's been shades of 2008. Hopefully he does at least as well going forward.

I just looked up his game log for shits and giggles and he hasn't walked anyone in his last 7 outings. Progress.

Bullpen in general is set up nicely for now and the future. Need to get the rotation fixed and we will be back to respectable..

Yep. Evey year he just annoys me more and more. And evey year the Cubs keep asking him back. HES NOT FUNNY!

Yea, not loving Jeff Garland. I actually wish this half inning would end quickly.

The Stache · by **The Stache** on Jul 22nd, 2011, 3:35 pm

Kosuke with a nice game today. 2 hits and a walk. You know scouts are watching him closely.

Old Style · by **Old Style** on Jul 22nd, 2011, 3:38 pm

I think he'll be the first to get traded. He's a true rental, with his contract expiring at the end of this year.

The Astros defense has looked pretty Cubs-esque today.

Thank God Jeff Garland is gone.

Well, thats the best Marmol has looked in a while. Great to see.
