– Sergio’s making the staff, in case they need an emergency starter and having Rusch be second lefty is too important to move him

(so unbelievable dumb.)

– They’ll carry 12 pitchers as a result

Prior
Wood
Zambrano
Maddux
Dempster

Rusch
Sergio
LaTroy
Dempster
Fox

pick’em RHP
pick’em LHP

Which leaves room for 13 hitters. Outside of the starters, you got the other half of Hairston, Backup C, Neifi and Macias (mentioned as the emergency closer, meaning hopes of him being cut are false) and one other spot.

– So either Dubios, coming off a good 2004 and a great spring gets sent to the cornfields, or Kelton gets cut from the Cubs without ever getting an extended oppurtinty to even sit on the bench for the major league team.

Either way, it’s completely unjust. The worse decision is to send down Dubios, but since he’s got options, it’s the easy one.

  1. What they need is Brooks Kieschnick. Don’t deny it.

    I really think the Cubs will escape all this drama just fine. I’m not sure they can meet my Prior expectations. I am no longer in any Rusch to say they will win the World Series. But maybe the whole team will be proven crazy like a Fox. Knock on Wood. OK, OK, Nomar jokes.

    He got released! It’d be great to have him.
