Overall, I thought that was a fairly good article by Greenberg.

I really like this quote from Hendry.
 
"Nobody has got four right-handed hitters than can come up and replace the guys you just lost...."
 
Two of the right handed hitters he's talking about are Reed Johnson and Jeff Baker.
 
As Tom Jackson would say, "Come on, man!!!!"

To be fair, both Johnson and Baker have been effective RH hitters this season, up to now.  So they were real losses.

For some reason, Chris Carpenter is being promoted.  He hasn't been good in the minors this year, and I don't think he's on the 40 man roster...but what the hell, bring him on up.

Casey Coleman is back to Iowa where reports are that he will go back to starting.

Cubs new fashion statement, from Bruce Miles:





Zambrano will probably take crap for this tomorrow (even though there are at least 8 Cubs wearing the shirts) because he's the easy target and the only identifiable player in the picture.

I believe that in Greece that would not be an obscene shirt.

Tuffy will love this:  Chris Carpenter gets #60, last worn by Mitch Atkins.

Tyler Colvin has been sent to Iowa to make room for Reed Johnson.

That's a good move.

I wonder how much longer LeMahieu will be riding the bench, though.  You would have thought he would have been sent down once Baker or Johnson returned.  He really needs to get back to Double-A getting his reps in instead of pinch running for Koyie Hill.

Someone said that Barney was hurt.  Perhaps they are keeping LeMahieu until they are certain of Barney's status.
