4/7 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Brewers (Sheets) 12:05CST WGN / XM188

[Magnetic Curses]

lou should be knowledgeable of the warning signs with Z. if he comes out right away and players are hitting fly balls off of him, he needs to be settled down. if players START to hit fly ball after fly ball off of him, he needs to be pulled.

[Chris]

The Cubs will be at least .500 when they open at home

[BigbadB]

Big win today.

 

Dempster continues his assault on the all-time Cub save leaderboard.

 

1.	Lee Smith		   180		
2.	Bruce Sutter      133		
3.	Randy Myers		 112		
4.	Don Elston		   63		
5.	Ryan Dempster	   61		
6.   Phil Regan		   60		
7.	Rod Beck		     58		
8.	Mitch Williams	  52		
9.	Joe Borowski		 44		
10.  Charley Root		 40

 

Would have sworn that Willie Hernandez would have been on the list, but he only had 27 saves as a Cub. Hmm.

So nice not to have Carlos Lee murdering us in Milwaukee any more. Screw him for going to Houston.

You're pretty happy for having Kei Igawa on your fantasy team. :)

owned. The .212 batting average doesn't help either. :(

My thoughts:

 

1. Johnny Estrada is now a very large man

 

2. Z seemed to be dropping down quite a bit today. If his slider wasn't below average and he could develop a straight change he would be unhittable. Has Rothschild tried to help him develop one more pitch?

 

3. It seems that a bunch of MLB players wear the necklace/chain that Murton and Howry wear? What is that thing?

Recap Posted

uggh...I see Izzy batted 2nd today! :twisted:

I think only b/c Lou gave Barrett the day off. Murt dropped down to the six hole.

 

That said, I'd rather see DeRosa hitting second if my options are he and Izzy.

"I don't say that the Milwaukee Brewers are nothing, but I think the offense of the Cincinnati Reds (is) better," Zambrano said. "There's no making mistakes when pitching against Cincinnati. When you make a mistake against them, you pay for it. When you make a mistake against Milwaukee, sometimes they miss it and that's good."

i have to guess the reasoning is that he doesn't want his best hitter out of the bottom third of the order to be his pitcher. i don't like that reasoning, but izzy really isn't an awful choice since he has been hot to start.

Wow...

 

Z being Z I guess.

[UK1679666180]

Z shouldn't be showing up opponents at this stage (or ever), his performance was nothing to brag about.

[Laura]

Z's not going to be winning any popularity contests in Milwaukee.

[Flames24Rulz]

Don't know why he said that considering the Brewers offense hit him pretty hard last year.

[inari]

I'm not happy to see Z showing up the Brewers like that.

[Sammy Sofa]

Z...what the hell, man?
