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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:[
DeRosa is Long Gone… WHAT THE HECK!??!
Mark DeRosa was traded to the Cleveland Indianas and the Chicago Cubs obtained 3 Minor League pitchers and St. Louis outfielder Aaron Miles. Just outta curiousity, WHAT THE HECK WERE THEY THINKING?!?!!??! Trading an utility player for some small time Minor Leaguers?! They should have traded Fukudome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is one of the stupidest moves I have seen…. They better have a game plan, because this is a mess. Trading DeRo was definitely a stupid, STUPID move… They’re gonna pay for that one. I’m just sayin’, they better not trade Theriot.. because he had a good year this year. But who knows, because DeRosa had one of his best years this year. Chicago Cubs fans, I’m nervous to find out what else Jim Hendry and the others have up their sleeve..
Funny Video
Alright so I was looking for pictures, and I came across a video of: Ryan Theriot, Mark DeRosa, Ryan Dempster, Geovany Soto and Mike Fontenot. I thought it was pretty funny. I got a pretty good laugh. The boys seemed like they had a fun time making the video. Haha, I had a fun time watching it. Enjoy.

8th Inning Rally Seals the Win for the Cubs
My commentary while watching the game: You know what? Let’s scratch the bad stuff..
All looked gloomy when Big Z gave up 3 runs in the first inning. Throwing about 35 pitches in just that inning alone..
But in the Top of the 4th the bases were loaded with no outs for Geovoany Soto. A double hit in the gap in right field scored 3 runs in the inning, gaining the lead 4-3.Then Zambrano had an RBI single, scoring Soto making it 5-3.
In the Top of the 5th, DeRosa had a double to the wall at right field, scoring Lee, making it 6-4.
In the 5th inning,things started going down hill…. Fukudome made a great play getting the lead runner out at 3rd, making a good throw to 3rd base. But with a man on 2nd and 1st, Wilson hits an RBI double, making it 6-5. Pitching change is made, Samardzija replaces Zambrano. Ground ball hit to Theriot, Theriot throws to Ramirez, getting Wilson in a run down, getting him out, but scoring an RBI making it 6-6. A double switch is made. Cotts is in for Samardzija. And Mike Fontenot is in playing 2nd base.
In the 6th, Soto had a solo homerun making it 7-6. He has 4 RBI’s.
In the bottom of the 6th inning, man on first, Soriano misses a ROUTINE POP UP, (HOW CAN YOU MISS A ROUTINE POP UP!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) 2 men on. That’s their 3rd error!!!!!!! in ONE GAME! come on now.. we need a 6-4-3 double play badly. Fontenot makes a HUGE diving play, getting the out at first. Good job Font!!! Ugh, 2 run double by Mientkiewicz making it 8-7.. Chad Gaudin replaces Cotts… all right Gaudin.
7th inning is here…We need our Cubbie rally NOW. Lets go RAMIREZ!!!!! alright a leadoff walk.. now we need REED JOHNSON!!! Alright reaching on a walk is just as good as getting a single.. come on Cedeno, MAN!!! with a force out at 3rd, you should bunt on the third base side.. not 1st base side. Wild pitch lets Reed and Cedeno advance a base. Doesnt matter anyways…
Bottom of the 7th; Sean Marshall replaces Chad Gaudin… bunt single by Morgan. Morgan steals but overslides and Ryan Theriot keeps the tag on him. He’s OUT! nice play by Theriot. Marshall stirkes a buc out. Making it a 1,2,3 inning.
Top of the 8th; Mike (Mini Sultan of Swat) Fontenot is the leadoff hitter. Basehit up the middle for the FONT! Nice hit Font! Basehit for Soriano!! Fontenot tries for 3rd and gets it! 1st and 3rd no outs. now we need THE RIOT!! WALK FOR THERIOT!!! BASES LOADED, DERREK LEE IS UP! 3-2 count… and the verdict is… foul. alright.. we’ll try this again… the verdict is.. A WALK!! Bases loaded walk! TIED 8-8 no outs. Aramis Ramirez is up. 3-0 a batter’s count.. and the verdict is…. WALK!! 9-8 CUBS LEAD!!! Pirates pitcher Hansen has walked 3 back to back to back. Burnett comes in for Hansen. No outs. Reed Johnson is up to bat. BASE HIT!!!!! THERIOT SCORES 10-8 CUBS! Henry Blanco’s up. This has been a LONG 8th. Blanco pop’s up to shallow right. Derrek Lee doesnt tag up. 1 out. Fukudome is up. Fukudome strikes out making it 2 outs. SOTO’s turn. SOTO HAS A BASES LOADED CLEARING DOUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 13-8 CUBS!!!!!!!!!!! 7 RBI’S FOR SOTO!! HOLY COW!! SOTO IS HAVING AN AWESOME NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They batted around the order, Fontenot is up for the 2nd time this inning. FONTENOT HAS AN RBI DOUBLE!!!!!!!! 14-8 CUBS!!! HOLY COW! THE MINI SULTAN OF SWAT STRIKES AGAIN! WOW. The Cubs never seize to amaze me.
14-9… come on Kerry Wood, end this. End it like Carlos Marmol did.
CUBS WIN!!
You just don’t quit until some mathematician tells you you’re eliminated”
