Okay, hands up, who saw this coming? Not me, that's for sure - but De Rosa has been nothing short of rock solid all year. His defense has been surpirsingly good, too, and his range is very respectable. By comparison with his predecessor in the role, he's been a huge bonus, if only because he shuts up once in a while. He also seems to be a good team guy - I've noticed him cheerleading in the dugout on more than one occasion and his reaction when he came back from the crapper to find out that Big Z had gone deep was priceless.
I heartiily positive Mark DeRosa. Anybody else?
This is just bonertastic sploogemungous.Â
Count me in. DeRosa is just another one of those guys I knew would play for the Cubs at some point in their careers (Jeff Blauser, Rondell White, Cliff Floyd, Greg Maddux Part II, Steve Effing Buchele). Those guys are hit and miss. Some more miss (Buchele, Phil Nevin when he wasn't trading himself, Gary Gaetti after he died) than hit (Gary Gaetti before he died, Nomar before he died). Lets hope DeRosa remains a hit.Â
I was always a DeRo fan, but I didn't want to admit it because some of the pub he got around here at times. But now, because of this bonertastic sploogemungous thread, I can, as the kids say nowadays, say "teh f[size=0pt] [/size] uck" with it and proudly pronounce myself a Ponderosa guy.Â
When he goes on a 11 for 78 stretch in August, I'm gonna quote this post in all strikeout line. Like this.

I'm on the DeRosa bandwagon.
Can he catch? He's certainly played every other position capably enough.

For a while I was just happy that he wasn't DBF. When they signed him, I didn't really get all the negative shot his way. It was all this gheyness about how he was going to block Theriot and other kack. Fuck that. The guy's a utility player extraordinaire who saved the season during Rammy's injury. Really. He really did.
The reason this works is because Lou uses him properly. Dusty would have put at second and left him there "because a dude's got to get comfortable, dude."
What I don't understand is why they don't let him play SS. He came up as a SS and has something like 140 games big league experience at the position. Would solve one problem. Then you can platoon Dance Fever and Little Lord Fontenot at 2B, works for me. Get the RH bat for RF during the break, and the lineup looks set for awhile.
CF--Jones/Pagan platoon
RF--Floyd/new guy platoon
2B--Theriot/Fontenot platoon
SS--DeRosa
Why wouldn't this work? Then, if you can dump Jones somewhere, you always have Pie waiting to play. If Floyd continues to miss time now and then with nagging aches and pains, you can occasionally use Ward out there.
And to think I wanted to get some old fashioned hate going for this guy early on...he was the only one who wasn't asleep during yesterday's ticklefest of a ballgame.
DeRosa has been solid.

Len & Bob mentioned yesterday that DeRosa has also pitched. So he could be in the starting rotation after the ASB.

Since the Worthless Sack of Cellulite known as "Scott Eyre" only pitches in blowouts, making DeRosa the 12th pitcher would give Lou more roster flexibility.

then we'd have sleeping, low-flying bookends in the clubhouse.
This is pretty much what he did when he was playing here with the Rangers. I'm not surprised and I'm glad the folks who wanted to hate him when he got to Chicago are rethinking that. He's the kind of player Dusty thought Neifi was. In other words, he's a legit major league utility guy.
I don't think that DBF was his predecessor, I think it was Macias. Viewed from that perspective, he belongs in the Hall of Fame.
I think a 5-fer-5 merits a bump.
Yes it does. I still remember up until about June that people were saying that he was about the biggest waste of FA money and so on and how last year was his career year playing in Arlington. Looks like he's brought that shit here and has been a major fucking steal at 4 mill.

Then I submit the Bull Moose for consideration. 13-5, 3.74 ERA.
Plus, if I submit him for consideration, he said he'd make it quick and painless.

That includes me.
I opened my big mouth when he was signed, playing know-it-all Dad and informing all my family members that he sucks and it was a huge waste of money.
Now I get reminded of this every time he hits, fields, starts at another position, hustles, and just generally does everything asked of him without complaining.
Derosa hits a pinch hit double -
Smartass son # 1: Â "Jeez he sucks doesn't he Dad. What is Lou thinking putting him in Dad?"
Derosa makes a nice infield play to start a double play and end an inning -
Smartass son # 2: Â "Man does he suck. We sure could have used Macias on that play right Dad?"
Derosa works a nice patient at bat, chokes up with two strikes and drives a man in -
Smartass daughter: "Boy Derosa sucks. Dad what were the Cubs thinking when they signed him?"
So Dad's a big dummy and gets called on it by a 12 year old girl.
Bump.
5 for 5.
Game-winning infield RBI with an assist from Weathers.
Splooge.
Kudos to Theriot for starting the inning off like a TRUE leadoff hitter.
Can someone explain why they intentionally walked Ward, only to pitch to Ponderosa? The guy was 4-4 and a double play wasn't going to get them anywhere. Shouldn't they have walked DeRosa to preserve a force play at home?
They totally should have walked DeRosa. But they're...not smart. Or good.
That was a damn bunch of fun. Felt like a win the whole time.
Splooge for DeRo.
Unbelievable come back for the Cardiac Cubs.

The bad news is there was an injury during the game. To me. I don't know what the hell happened, but I pulled up lame like Soriano rounding second running from my office (and the radio) to watch the excitement on the TV. Felt something pop in my calf.

Tiger Beat reporter Moronotti also had a nauseating rundown of his digital footsie with Cuban, as they were apparently IM'ing each other as the game was going on. I'd link to it but, you know, it's Mariotti. Find a Sun Times if you really want to read it. I'd offer mine, but I've used the article to wipe my ass.

Cuban at least went to IU.
And I'm a dope; Apex busted me. Although Green was promoted to President at one point, yes I am aware he never owned the team. I'll go take a timeout.

Three straight walks than a grand slam? Was this guy throwing for the Giants?

Also, I believe the final of that game was a "heartbreaking" 9-0 (although the Cubs don't look like they're done yet.)
Things would be so much better if we hadn't taken those walks to clog up the bases in the first place.
Damn the Giants are bad. Dero and Murderface came up big tonight.

Oh, here's a Tweet from Steve Stone:

If this is your new schtick, I love it and I hope it continues ad nauseam.

Should have traded him for Cesar Izturis.

One key member of the 2008 Cubs comes off the DL, (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090706&content_id=5728490&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb) another goes on. (http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/commishs-hot-stove/commishs-hot-stove/2009/07/derosa-headed-to-dl/)
Albie should have warned him to be careful during the first load week.
Derosa's done for the year. Maybe. Or something. A torn tendon sheath sounds pretty bad. Is that in the wrist?

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/commishs-hot-stove/commishs-hot-stove/cardinal-beat-updates/2009/07/derosa-suffering-torn-ligament-sheath/), Mark DeRosa is "suffering from a torn tendon sheath that casts doubt on his return" following the All-Star break.
Analysis: (http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=MLB&id=2670)
Quote
More deception and shadiness from the Cardinals' medical staff. General manager John Mozeliak told reporters Tuesday afternoon that DeRosa's placement on the disabled list was a "precautionary move," but now it's not clear if he'll be able to return before the end of July. "I don't know all the jargon. But there is definitely something wrong with it," DeRosa said Tuesday. "There is definitely a partial tear of the sheath. It's one of those things where you hope time allows it to heal itself."

We need to right that wrong.
What the fuck is it about DeRo? Some fuckstick in the comments thinks he's good for 20-25 HR.
It can't just be stubble that makes people think that way, can it?
He's a nice guy to have as a super-sub type, but I don't even think he could hit 25 HR sharing needles with Albie.

I don't know. Is there such a thing as "authentic Tex-Mex"? The salsa is fresh. The chips are warm. The fajitas are hot and tasty. It's good.

What the fuck is it about DeRo? Some fuckstick in the comments thinks he's good for 20-25 HR.
It can't just be stubble that makes people think that way, can it?
He's a nice guy to have as a super-sub type, but I don't even think he could hit 25 HR sharing needles with Albie.
It might be the fact that he hit 21 in 2008 and 23 in 2009.
Sure, but as soon as he starts sharing needles with Albie... AIDS.
Try hitting 20+ jimmies then, white knight.
17 homers in his first 1,075 plate appearances (1 per 63 PAs). 75 in his next 2,481 (1 per 33 PAs).
It's almost like there's something in Texas.
A small ballpark?
The best hitting coach in the history of any sport?
Hot-blooded Mexican babes with raven black hair, supple breasts and long dark brown legs leading down to perfectly manicured feet and toes?
EDIT: Oh, Chuck to Chuck meant ridiculously lax gun-control laws, natch.
I just got horny
Thinking about all the home made tamales and chimichangas no doubt.
Tex-Mex is awful awful.
I adamantly disagree. Like anything, some Tex-Mex is good while other Tex-Mex is bad. One of my favorite restaurants is Tex-Mex.
Is it authentic?
I don't know. Is there such a thing as "authentic Tex-Mex"? The salsa is fresh. The chips are warm. The fajitas are hot and tasty. It's good.
the waiters could have to run past Minutemen to bring you your food.

But there's plenty of authentic Mexican if you know where to look.
And then there's Pancheros, if that fails.

Pen is a big believer in geographic determinism.
Iowa is too far away from Texmexico to be authentic.

Back to Rudy Hamandyellow for a second.
I can't see any possible situation where the media and the rest of the mouthbreathing Cub fans would turn on the Highest Paid Non-Manager of All Time™...
CAN YOU!?!??!

Just wait until TONY! LARUSSA! is bench coach and DAVE! DUNCAN! is co-pitching coach. Nothing could ever go wrong with such a highly paid coaching staff. Jim Hendry has figured out that it's coaches he needs to splurge for, not players. IT'S GONNA HAI

QuoteDeRosa explained that he was "tired of being a lot of teams' Plan B."
Cue violins...
You know who could save this team now? Mark DeRosa. (http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/05/ex-cub-derosa-calls-wrist-surgery-a-total-failure.html)
Since any similar thread about Aramis was Ratto'd, I'd thought I'd go with the only Cub in history who was better.
Take that Houston!
His OPS has climbed .145 in the last ten games.
That's just sick.

Chuck will soon tell us that it doesn't matter because he did it after the season was over (no offense to TJ's "It's Gonna Hai" thread).

Jagoff didn't have the good taste to not be injured when they *Really* needed him.
