DeRosa = Cardinal!!??! NO. NO. NO. NO!!!!!!!!
The most blunt response to the St. Louis Cardinals acquiring former Cub Mark DeRosa came from current Cubs shortstop Ryan Theriot.
“It (stinks),” Theriot said Sunday.
The Cleveland Indians traded DeRosa to the Cubs’ National League Central rivals Saturday night for reliever Chris Perez and a player to be named.
“I didn’t think we were going to get him anyway,” Theriot said. “He’s going to the Cardinals. What do you want me to say? It’s good? I’m glad? I’m happy for him? He’s going a division contender. Yeah, I’m excited about that. No.
“I know what type of player he is and what he brings to a ballclub. Obviously, I don’t want to see him in our division, much less a team like the Cardinals. He’ll help them. He’ll help them tremendously.”
– As said in the Daily Herald.
HE SHOULD BE WITH THE CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:[
Cubs Seal Victory in Game 1 VS White Sox
Jake Fox and Geovany Soto pulled together all 5 of the Cub’s RBI’s today with the win over the White Sox. Fox had a 2 run homerun and Soto had a 3 run homer.
Randy Wells pitched a great game today earning the win. Carlos Marmol had a rough outing getting pulled after bases were loaded in the BOT 8th score 5-4. Sean Marshall came in and pitched a curve ball to A.J.Pierzynski who grounded out to Derrek Lee who threw home to Soto, then back to first to get the double play. Kevin Gregg came in to close for our Cubs, and shockingly didnt blow the lead, OR the game!
In other news: I found an article from CSN Chicago about Milton Bradley. Here it is:
Milton Bradley left U.S. Cellular Field in street clothes after having a confrontation with Lou Piniella after his final at-bat in the sixth inning.
After the game, Piniella said it was time because he had ‘seen enough’ and that the two had an argument and he told him to take his jersey off. He also said that he would put Bradley’s name in the lineup Saturday.
Bradley and Piniella exchanged words in the tunnel leading to the clubhouse after his at-bat. Bradley threw his helmet down after flying out and Piniella followed him to the tunnel, where the two had an argument.
Bradley was replaced by Ryan Freel in right.
That cant be good.
WOW. KEVIN. GREGG. IS. AWFUL.
Kevin Gregg BLEW IT.
Terrible.
Cubs VS Braves: Pre- Game
Ryan Dempster VS Javier Vazquez
Lou Pinella is probably going to give some of the starters a rest today as the Cubs take on the Braves. Ryan Theriot will most likely be rested as Andres Blanco will most likely play short, and Micah Hoffpauir and Jake Fox will get in too. This rest will be a good thing for the starters who have been working hard these last 4 games. Hopefully the Cubs can keep the win streak going.
Week filled with; Grins, Wins and Battles Within!
Cant get enough of the Cubs. They are on a 4 game winning streak with a split of the series with the Sox and a 3 Game Series SWEEP against the Cleveland Indians. 3 of which are comebacks and clutches. Derrek Lee is on an 18 game hitting streak, Wells got his first W, and Kevin Gregg didnt blow a save!
Our grounds crew did an amazing job getting the field playable and dry. I must say, we have probably the best grounds crew in the history of grounds crews in Wrigley. They definitely know how to take on Chicago weather.
Just seeing A.J. P of the Sox walking away in shame is priceless as it is. This hug is probably one of the most chilling moments EVER captured. It gives me goosebumps just looking at this picture. Know that the Cubs can make a comeback in the 2nd to last inning is pretty amazing. One of the best comebacks in Cub History. Grins.
How bout’ a round of applause? Standin’ ovation? But you put on quite a show, really had me goin’, now it’s time to go, curtain’s finally closin’!
Wins.
This Theriot picture is sweet! No no, cross that. It’s EPIC.
Soriano was having a tough outing recently. His batting has been pretty ugly the last couple of games. Pinella had thoughts about moving him out of the leadoff spot, but decided against it. He came in clutch for us as he drove in the winning run with a bloop right field single to win the Sox game 6-5. A grin, win AND battle within if I do say so myself.

Life is Good.
Happy Father’s Day! Cubs SWEEP the Indians!
Happy Father’s Day to all the MLB players who are fathers and daddy’s!
Cubs are up 2-0 in the 4th inning by Geovany Soto’s solo homerun and Jake Fox’s sac fly to DeRosa to score Theriot. Soto walks in the 5th and another run scores to make it 4-0.
Randy Wells is pitching a very good game today. In 5 innings so far, he has only allowed 2 hits. He also got a single in the 5th. Wells scores on Derrek Lee’s bases loaded single! Wells gets pulled at the TOP 7th with 2 outs and man on 1st and 3rd. He did a very good job today limiting the Indians to 1 run.
Derrek Lee has been on FIRE this series. Before this game, he was batting 5 for 10 with 3 homeruns and 4 runs scored! He just had a bases loaded single!
Jake FOX GETS a 2 run DOUBLE!! JUST missed a grand slam by 10 feet!! 6-0 CUBS in the 5th!!! Fox ended up with 3 RBI’s!
CUBS WIN! Nice play by Andres Blanco!!
We’re singin’ GO Cubs GO, GO CUBS GO, Hey Chicago Whatta ya say? Cubs are gonna win today. Go Cubs go, GO CUBS GOO! Hey Chicago Whatta ya say? The CUBS GET THE SWEEP TODAY!!!
Steroids. 4 Down; 100 to go.
Well we found out that Sammy Sosa used steroids back in 2003. I love how they decided to tell us that he used them now… 6 years later. Alex Rodriguez is also on the list of 104 that have been admitted to using steroids back in 03′. Manny Ramirez has been said using “hormones” because of male problems, but that is still considered steroids. Would you rather juice yourself up and get your 15 minutes of fame, or work hard during off-season and even in the season and know that you worked hard getting where you are today? There are 104 people on that list, and 4 of them we know for sure. Sammy Sosa, Alex Rodriguez and Barry Bonds and possibly Mark McGuire Will we be finding out the next guy in 2011? I mean since it took 6 years for them to tell us that Sosa was on steroids, who knows when we will find out all the other juicers..
It’s pretty disappointing. Especially for the kids that believe in these guys. I used to LOVE Sammy Sosa. Now, he’s just a fake..
CUBS WIN IN 10TH BY 8TH INNING RALLY & THERIOT!!!!!
Cliff Lee VS Rich Harden
Mark DeRosa and Kerry Wood come back to Wrigley not in uniform as Cubbies, but as Cleveland Indians. I saw the interview with DeRo, and he 
definitely misses the Cubs. He loves the fans, and the atmosphere in Wrigley, but he’s fine in Cleveland too. Kerry states he saw it coming that he would be traded. 10 seasons with the Cubs and being traded? I think the Cubs made a pretty big mistake to trade these 2. Oh well, hopefully the Cubs can get the game in, and win.
*RAIN DELAY* Game time start- 2:45
Cleveland is leading 6-0 in the 3rd inning. Harden isnt doing his greatest…
7-1 in the 5th inning. Johnson had a solo homerun.
WOO! Derrek Lee gets a solo homerun. 7-2. MAN why couldnt people be on base?!
Matt Forte from the Chicago Bears sings the 7th inning stretch for the Cubs.

Derrek Lee: “It was a big win for us”
It was a BIG win indeed.
Cubs Split 2 Game Series with Sox
Derrek Lee had a BIG 3 run homer to make it 5-4, then another homer right after Lee by Soto to tie up the game. Back to back jacks my friend. The bats were pretty quiet throughout the game, but in dire need, the Cubs woke themselves up. Johnson scored the winning run by Soriano who had a blooper to right-center with 2 outs. That was ABSOLUTELY clutch. I couldnt bare to hear the Sox bringing out their brooms for the sweep at Wrigley. So I am so impressed by the Cubs right now.
