4/24 Marlins (Vargas) @ Cubs (Z!) 6:05 PM WCIU/ESPN

Great play Neifi! Now help the team, fake an injury, and get yourself out of the game.

 

Then we can get you to get a new screen name. At least when Lee comes back.

[bc2k]

I don't like this. At the smallest sign of adversity Z has been losing focus and it takes him 2-3 batters to get it back. Guess he should have kept his mouth shut before the season started when he was talking about winning the Cy Young.

 

he's been pouting a lot this year. Then again he hasn't pitched this bad for this long in quite a while

 

Z had a very good start last time out.

 

He hasn't pitched that bad tonight. It should be 1-0.

 

Why should it be 1-0?

 

Becuase in the first inning Caberra pulled a low and away slider out of the park. Only a good hitter who has a little luck dosen't hit a weak grounder there.

 

So you're not blaming Z for the walk to Uggla--who was on base when Cabrera hit that home run?

 

No the walk was bad but Uggla was on first. Caberra can't run well. When you try to pull a ball that is low and away it usually ends up as a ground ball. Even if it managed to get by for a single the next guy k'd.

 

Walks are bad.

 

Z is solely responsible for walking Uggla and giving up the home run to Cabrera. Whether the odds were with Z or not on the pitch, doesn't mean he is not responsible.

[Soul]

I don't know what's worse, the constant Bartman pieces, or the "QB Carousel" graphic that has become mandatory whenever the Bears are on TV.

 

GIVE IT A REST, huh>?

[rawaction]

12 pitch inning, need about 3 more of those Z.

[Blueheart05]

How many of you who are upset at Z for what he did got pissed at Corey for supposedly showing no emotion? You don't have to answer, it's okay.

 

It has nothing to do with showing emotion (or not) it has to do with him being out of control. It's undeniable that when something bad occurs he starts walking people and gets out of his game. Conversely, Maddux will have a fit on the mound when he gives up a big hit but he bears down ont he next batter. Z hasn't learned to do that!

There's a difference between showing emotion and doing something stupid that could hurt yourself and the team. Especially with the rotation in the state it is in right now. There are 24 other guys he needs to be accountable to.

 

Z doesn't get hurt because he's made of titanium.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[Chris]

Sweet, video of Steve Bartman! I finally get to see it!

[Mizzou]

Ok, I am at the library and can't watch the game, plus I am trying to forget the fact that I pretty much gave away my tickets for the game. Anyway, I am short on time, and I can't read through the whole thread right now. Will someone please give me a quick update, and I will check back in a few minutes. Thanks in advance.

Z's control has been crap again. He struck out swinging then broke his bat over his knee, Bo Jackson style. ESPN wont shut up about Bartman. That pretty much sums it up.

[sunbiz1]

That's good because there are families divided down there over that rivalry. Great.............ESPN is reminding me of the 03' NLCS. The Marlin parade came within 6 blocks of my house that year.

 

 

 

Well, I hope I do not offend you here, but I have been a FSU fan since 84'. GO CUBS !!!

 

 

 

I am curious, where do you reside down there? I have lived in Naples, Ft. Myers, Ft. Lauderdale as well as Pompano Beach.

 

 

It's going to be one of those nights :(

 

Maybe you should change your screen name to combat the inevitable.

 

I grew up in Melbourne Beach on the east coast, now live in Gainesville and go to the University of Florida. The NCAA champions in basketball. :D

 

No stress, I grew up an FSU fan until my sister went to UF and then I followed.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno popped out to second base

[anemic offense]

hinrich with the bulls last 9 pts. At least someone from Chicago is playing well tonight

[Coach C]

God.

 

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ESPN!

 

Jeez!

[Mizzou]

F U ESPN

What in the wide wide world of sports are you talking about?

 

Who said he wasn't responsible?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker flied out to right center field

[Mizzou]

Of course he catches it.

[anemic offense]

GMAFB :x

[Blueheart05]

OMG, the Cubs might be no hit tonight. Say it ain't so!!!

[Chris]

gotta be kidding

I enjoy the rivalry, but some of my best friends go to FSU. The hatred is all in good fun.

Lordy :roll:

[bhogg]

My 2006 MVP '05 Cubs had a lot of problems with the Marlins.

 

I'm sure that makes everyone feel better.

[B]

Was that Jim Edmonds making that catch?
