Is there some point where we can mention that Castillo's now had several spring trainings with the Cubs, has been in the minors for six seasons (been at AAA for all or parts of 3 of those) and had seven starts last year when he had a .983 OPS? Small sample size indeed, but not like, ohmygodthisislikerushingKoreyPattersonalloveragain.

How about in, like, an hour?  That'd be good for me.

I mean, I'm just wondering. One would think in an argument revolving around playing a rookie someone would mention that this isn't even his first call up. But that's just Ol' Uncle SKO talkin' crazy, I guess.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Again, I didn't say they shouldn't play him. I'm just saying I'm not mad at Quade over three starts Hill has made since Castillo got called up. Three. I thought it was four. But it's three andone of those three was in shitastic weather. Flame on.

Hey Huey - remember that double play Derosa grounded into against the Dbacks in 2007?

I think if we go ahead and read between the lines here, and I don't mean the lines of implied gay sex euphemisms, Apex's real point is that Cub fans have spent the good majority of the last week plus bitching about the Misadventures of Colvin and Koyie when the rest of the team is hard-boiled dogshit.

So yeah we can fill up another two pages talking about the obvious fact that Koyie Hill is bad or we can talk about the fact that this entire team is horrible with very few exceptions. And despite everything I still hate Darwin Barney and his .370 babip.

I resent the false choice I have to make here between bitching about something stupid, like Koyie Hill starting over Beef Wellington, or just acknowledging that the whole team is garbage. I've done both, and Koyie Hill's continued presence is a part of the general suckitude. So don't tread on me, man.

This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

You're saying that it's stupid and you don't know the reasons for it. Did you ask Quade why he wrote the lineups out that way three times and find his answer unsatisfcactory? Are you saying that there is no possible reason why Hill should start 3 of the first 4 games Castillo is active for? Meatball.
