This thread title is almost as bad as the one Huey came up with for Steinbrenner's death.

I actually like this thread title...

Let's not get confused. Liking Pink Floyd and liking this thread title are mutually exclusive.

Ah.  In that case, I hate this thread title.

I see how it is.  But since when did my love of the Penguins eclipse my identity as a Cubs fan?

Wasn't paying attention.  The Cubs are still playing?

Looked pretty ordinary against Yeti's Cardinals.  He can still win the Cy next year though.

Diamond downgraded to part-time shining.

QuoteST. LOUIS -- Cubs pitcher Thomas Diamond was given a three-start test to keep his job in the Chicago starting rotation.
He didn't pass.

Cubs manager Lou Piniella announced Sunday that Diamond's turn in the rotation Wednesday was being handed off to Casey Coleman. Diamond struggled in all three starts he has made this season, giving up a total 12 earned runs in 13 innings. He made it through only four innings against the Cardinals on Friday and lasted only three innings against the Reds.

"We are going to make a change," Piniella said. "We are going to pitch Coleman. And Diamond will go to the bullpen and pitch long relief."

Coleman pitched two scoreless innings of relief in Diamond's last start and struck out three batters. Piniella said Friday he liked how he looked and after talking with pitching coach Larry Rothschild, decided to give Coleman a shot.

DPD.  Since Diamond is getting bumped based on 13 innings, I'd say Coleman should be quite an improvement.

Diamond: 0-3, 8.31 ERA, 13 IP, 10 BB, 13 SO, 2.077 WHIP, 11.8 H/9, 6.9 BB/9, 9.0 SO/9
Coleman: 0-0, 8.64 ERA, 8.1 IP, 5 BB, 5 SO, 1.800 WHIP, 10.8 H/9, 5.4 BB/9, 5.4 SO/9

I'm not some ultra guru on the Cubs minor league system or anything, but I like to keep up from time to time to see how the young players are doing.  I still have no idea what a Casey Coleman is and where it came from.  Why is it wearing a Cub uniform?

Because Jim Hendry and Oneri Fleita aren't some ultra gurus on the Cubs minor league system or anything either.

To be fair to those guys, though, not every farm system has rosters filled out with Strasburgs and Poseys.

So the Cubs are off the hook for their mediocre farm system because not all other farm systems are stacked?

Exactly. How can you people say that Jim Hendry sucks at all when the Pirates front office has driven them into the ground for 18 straight seasons? If there's someone worse than you, you must not be that bad at your job.
