OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

QuoteThe Chicago Cubs are expected to activate Iowa Cub utility infielder [BOBBY SCALES] today, and this time he's even going to get a uniform.

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.

More good news.

"News: Carlos Zambrano is out two or three weeks after being placed on the disabled list due to a strained left hamstring. Cubs manager Lou Piniella said the team plans to call up right-hander Randy Wells from Triple-A Iowa on Friday to take Zambrano's spot in the rotation at Milwaukee. "

I'm not sure I understand why this is good news.
What was the alternative?

BOBBY SCALES has 4 days to render Aaron Miles or Joey Gathright obsolete.

I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

Bobby gets his first major league start as Lou puts one of his spring training lineups out there against Lincecum.

QuoteGathright, CF
Miles, SS
Fukudome, RF
Lee, 1B
Hoffpauir, LF
Fontenot, 3B
Scales, 2B
Hill, C
Marshall, P

Oh, and Lou said Marmol and Gregg aren't available. Heilman is the closer.

Where's the outrage over the Giants lineup?

F. Lewis LF
E. Renteria SS
R. Aurilia 1B
B. Molina C
A. Rowand CF
R. Winn RF
J. Uribe 3B
E. Burriss 2B
T. Lincecum P

Seems like 3 runs should be plenty to win.
