Sure, we may be losing Z to the 15-day DL.
But think of how much we'll gain.
Arizona governor Jan Brewer is expected to issue an emergency boner alert for the greater Phoenix area sometime this afternoon.

Not as much as it meant to Pen.
While Scales surely can't maintain his 1.214 OPS (realistically, one should expect it to regress to the 1.000-1.075 range over a full season), it's cool to see him up and getting some big hits. Go Bobby.

And Aaron Fucking Miles, realizing his time may now be short in Chicago, knocks in a run too.
Unfortunately, probably not. He's still the only backup SS on the roster.
Why can't Fontenot play SS?

BOBBY SCALES resents the inference that he cannot play shortstop.
Ron Santo just named Boss Bobby the Chevrolet Player of the Game.

Good point. If Theriot can't play it, why can't anyone not play it?
An excellent choice, it's not like the starting pitcher went seven innings and had three hits and two RBI or anything.

He also claimed the Bears traded for Jake Peavy....

Some NPR hosts actually do positive baseball. I don't know which ones, but there have to be a few. Right?

Scot Simon is a Cub fan.
SPEEDY BOBBY SCALES!
He'd have been out by a mile if that was a good throw.
But, yeah, I love me some BOBBY SCALES
He's going to have tough ROY competition from Randy Wells.

Are you dooming* Scales to spending at least the early part of next season below the Mendoza line?
*DOOOOOOOOMING I say.

This being said, Freel is still an upgrade over the car jumper.

You bet I did.
