08/30 CUBS (Mateo) @ Pittsburgh (Santos) 11:35 CDT, CSN TV

[YearofDaCubs]

seeing Friday is the 1st of Sept, its time to put the cubs shirts away and bring out the bears

 

The way the Bears camp has unfolded, by Oct 1 it may be time to put on the Bulls shirts

I think you might be right. I'm worried.

 

EDIT: Actually, let me add to that..I felt that it was very Pompus of Angelo to get rid of our 1st round pick and draft Manning and a punt returner with our 2nd rounders. I felt that we could have gotten Chad Jackson (WR) and a TE in the 2nd round. Just a terrible move IMO.

Ramirez doubled to right center field

[go_cubs_go]

i think we should trade neffi and maybe a prospect for Halladay. then maybe make a move like Wood for Lariano and Santana

 

thoughts?

good question. maybe we'll have to entice them with patterson instead. he has so much potential

Burnitz singled to right field

[coldsteel]

Cy Young candidate, Carlos Zambrano, leading national league in wins, was injured today pinch-hitting in the 4th inning of the Cubs' contest vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates -- that would have been a real head-scratcher.

There is no reason to put the only reliable pitcher you have left in the game to pinch hit...especially after a start the day previously.

Castillo singled to center field , Burnitz scored, Doumit to third
