LOL good job Ryan

 

Actually, Keener, he struck out, which hurts the Cobs chances of scoring runs.

 

Ohhh, I just thought it was a new way to score since the Cubs try it so often

any doubt the Reds answer with at least 1.

 

Well it's Z and his backup is a guy who has never pitched in the major leagues, I'd say there is a good chance.

Who says Hill and Pie are going to be All-Stars? I certainly in hell don't think either of them will be.

 

When was the last time you've seen the Cubs have a position player that they didn't trade for go to the All-Star Game? Ryne Sandberg? Mark Grace?

 

Who says Adam Dunn would get us to the World Series? Exactly. I did the same thing you did earlier in the thread. By the way if you actually read what I said you would have seen the word "possibly".

 

The point is they're both cheap, young players with good track records who we will have under our control for the next 4+ years. At worst you're probably talking about league average options in positions of need at a very low cost.

 

When Dunn doesn't get us to the playoffs in his 2 month stay and we're left signing Darin Erstad and Kyle Lohse to replace those guys next year, it will cost more money and be a downgrade in talent. At which time you and others will complain about how bad this team sucks and wish we still had Felix and Rich.

 

You have to get to the playoffs to get the World Series.

 

This is the problem with the Cubs; they're afraid to get rid of any pitcher now because one guy was great for one or two seasons (Dontrelle Willis). Looks like the ol' D-Train got figured out, didn't he? Man, Dontrelle is awesome now, isn't he?

 

And it certainly looks like one-pitch Rich got figured out pretty quickly too.

 

EXACTLY! And if you want to make the playoffs in any future years you don't give in to the Reds insane demands for Dunn. Why don't you understand that?

I have no idea who your rant about Willis was directed at.

 

Apparently the only start of Hill's since the All-Star break that you've seen was his last one against a very good lineup in a hitter's park.

 

You have to give up something to get something.

 

And that's it.

You've got to be kidding me. Z gets an 0-2 count and hits him with an underhand softball toss. Then Kendall makes a perfect throw and has his first legit CS (on a legit base stealer no less) and Riot can't catch the ball.

Why is Zambrano still in the game?

 

He's pitched fine this inning except for the pitch that Phillips jumped into.
