5/4 Nationals (Bergmann) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20pm WGN/720

Ugh about the line-up. I'd start Murton and Theriot everyday. Floyd and Izturis should be on the bench.

Izturis is tied for the lead among NL shortstops with 5 Errors and has the lowest SS fielding percentage in the majors. We already know that he can't hit. Why the hell is he in the lineup after an off day?

Because Izturcrap is Hendry's pet.

Sure would be nice to have Maddux as a #5 starter right now.

Nah, I wasn't a big fan of his last year. He will pitch better where he is now. I can see him have an era ov over 5 if he was our 5th starter and for the price he's being paid I say heck no.

[brinoch]

This is exactly what I feared would happen when we signed Sweet Lou. More veterans in the lineup; lots of young players fetching coffee.

 

Look at what he did in TB and you'll see what I mean.

[Bixby]

Anyone else love the fact that Soriano did that interview with his glove on?

Yeah. The Dodgers got the better of that trade.

Not only did they get a good pitcher for them but they got rid of dead weight and salary! Hendry is such a damn fool.

Excellent trade.....for LA. Can't believe Hendry actually sought after Izturis.

He heard good glove, allstar and low obp and he HAD to have him. You seriously have to question what kind of skills he has when he looks for players like Izturis. And some of the things he says are just way out there. Damn shame he wasn't gone with MacPhail.

When is Hendry's contract up?

[Unrequited]

absolutely horrible national anthem...

[Brian]

yeah I was hoping Blanco would be Z's personal catcher from here on out :(

 

 

what happened to The Riot every day SS, this is the third game in a row of Izturis

Theriot only put one sugar instead of two in Lou's coffee. This is his punishment for insubordination.

Frankly? I think Lou lies.

[Brian]

I predict the Nationals break out this weekend ...

[98navigator]

I'm going to be really angry if the Cubs don't win this series. Having said that, I think they will.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Glad to see Pie is wasting more time in the majors. :x

[Chocolate Milk]

Wow.

[Flames24Rulz]

Nice 0-2 pitch...not.

[Brian]

great start :x

[98navigator]

Zambrano gives up a leadoff triple? Come on Z!!!! :x

[RichHillIsABeast]

Way to take your [expletive] time on the throw, JJ.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

There is something really wrong with Z. Watch his follow through.

[Brian]

Isn't good for the Nationals that Christian Guzman is hurt?
