Here’s another video.
I don’t actually like the Cure, but let’s face it, this is the Braves’ soundtrack right now. If this thing doesn’t turn around soon I’m going to have to break out the Morrissey, and nobody wants that.

Here’s to ending this horrible losing streak..come on Huddy, we need a great game…
What will today’s humiliation be? Facing old “friend” Marquis means lots of possibities…
Any truth to the rumor that Jack Kevorkian, recently released from jail, is going to be the team doctor?
I don’t know if this was mentioned yesterday…but apparently McCann is still having effects from his ankle injury last season…
First up, a bit of news: Brian McCann had a cortisone shot in his right ankle two days ago and is out of the lineup tonight, with Salty catching. But McCann’s expected back in there tomorrow, according to Bobby Cox.
This is first I’ve heard of the cortisone shot for McCann, who hates talking about his injuries for fear people will think he’s making excuses. He’s such a good dude, he feels guilty about not being in the lineup, about being hurt.
It’s the right ankle, same one he sprained badly last season. This time he reinjured it when he rolled it on a swing Tuesday, which we knew about. It’s just we didn’t know it was bad enough to require a cortisone shot, which he got Wednesday.
TThe ankle injury comes just when McCann’s left ring finger is finally healed completely. That’s no longer a factor, he said.

Why not just disable McCann until he’s 100%? He hasn’t been doing much anyway. Salty can catch with Pena backing him up for a few weeks.
Ron,
Check the stats, McCann is hitting over .300 the past couple weeks. He doesn’t need to be DL as he is capable of playing.
Cubs:
Soriano LF/ PitA
Pie CF
Lee 1B
Barrett C
JJones RF
DeRosa 3B
Fontenot 2B
Izturis SS

Escobar 3B

Cormier is now on the DL with a tired arm. Myself, I can’t even bring myself to joke about it.
Hudson plunked him–this game might get interesting.
Re Cormier having a tired arm–the way he pitched it isn’t certain he even has an arm.
Joe is such a putz.
i can f’in believe that we are starting this was AGAIN!!!! Absurd.
Why did Soriano get hit? I missed last night’s game.
It might not be a good idea to have a beanball war with the Cubs–in the last week they’ve shown their quite willing to duke it out.
Re #13–3 homers last night off Cormier.
Good cow… who cloned the 06 huddy and switched him back?
they’ve shown their quite willing to duke it out.
sheesh, who taught me to write–make that they’re quite willing …
This is soo disheartening…looks like I’ll be switching to the basketball game soon..
Finally.
seriously WTF
down 4-0 already…. and why the @$%^! are there so many Cubs fans in ATL?
This feels like a rerun of June 2006.
Druw!!! Slumpy no more!
@#$%@#%!!! ANDRUW!!
So Hudson hits him and puts Soriano on base to lead off the game because Soriano three home runs the night before? That’s just stupid. Why do that?
how about Francoeur swinging at ball 3. THAT’S stupid.
New poll.
KJ!
Oh and a side note, my favorite player, Chad Johnson, kicked a horse’s ass in a race today.
RENTY!…we got a new games folks!
game*
Druw! Offense, Yay
Great, all we need to do is spread a few more of our horrible pitchers around the league and we’re all set!
Nice theory, Mac, but didn’t someone yesterday put up a comment about Sosa having an ERA less than 3?
Oh, joy.
Wonderful…now Huddy is injured.
What happened? I stepped away from the TV for a minute and missed it.
He got hit on leg by a line drive…he did leave under his own power but he was limping.
Thanks, Jay.
God, the Cubs are dumb. It’s like they have a team full of Francoeur’s.
I love the Escobar and Moylan glove tap. No question they are best friends.
Australian for walk.
or australian for plunk the other teams pitcher.
adding insult to injury, moylan k’s the side.
is the behind the plate umpire testing pinella, because some of those pitches didnt look close. but then again, he is a sidewinder.
What do you think? Plunk Harris, brawl ensues?
Fisticuffs may indeed ensue…Maybe Thor will release some Canadian frustration!
Ground Rule Double…I love this guy! That would’ve been an easy triple though.
I texted my cubs buddy that i saw a brawl coming in the first inning after the soriano remark to hudson.
how can you not love harris? he was flying around the basepaths
’bout time. nice shot renty
RENTY!!
I’m very surprised Andruw didn’t get plunked. Maybe Piniella has mellowed/
I love Renteria’s demeanor. He is straight chillin’ on the bench drinking water and answering escobar’s questions after that bomb.
Nice catch Andruw! Spit on it.. you’ll be fine.
is it evil to have hoped Thor would get hurt on the play at the plate?
No one else has said it, so I will: Peter Moylan, with 3 no-hit innings, gets the game ball for turning around our incredibly demoralizing streak. Huddy couldn’t get the job done, but this guy’s having a great year and this is his best outing of all.
Just joining the game–its a nice change + the Mets have lost….I guess Hudson’s ok?
He’s day-to-day. As AAR was saying, it seems like a good thing Moylan ended up in there instead of Huddy.
dunno, he didn’t throw any pitches after getting hit. Though Bobby may have just told him not to bother and take the rest of the night off. And as AAR has pointed out, Moylan and the rest of the pen have bailed him out admirably.
Thanx–with his great start and recent starts it almost looks like we are back to the 2005 version of Hudson….
Pete just mentioned that it is Wickman’s 800th game…
Yay, finally a win!
Nice….Long overdue…
