9/8 Cubs (Big Z!) @ Pirates (Snell) 6:05 WGN TV/Radio

[Guest]

Great baserunning. But thanks for the RBI.

[Illini Iceman]

Kevin Hart getting a spot start on Thursday?

 

um...okay...

 

What??

 

Uncle Lou was talking about possibly starting Hart in Thursday in Houston, depending on whether they want to start Zambrano on Thursday or Friday against the Cardinals.

 

Hooray for defensive miscues and baserunning blunders!

 

Hasn't Marshall always pitched well against Houston?

[chuckywang]

If Z homers here all will be forgiven.

It was an error on LaRoche, so Jones doesn't get the RBI there, does he?

2 starts, 14 IP, .64 ERA.

 

Len...are you looking at this thread?

[Illini Iceman]

Scott Moore just hit a grand slam in the Bos/Bal game!

 

Yeah but we got Traschelle

 

I guess it would be inconvenient to mention that it's his first hit in 9 a bats since joining the Orioles and he had three strikeouts in the previous eight at bats.

Depends on whether the run would have scored without the error or not. I'm not watching the game so I can't answer that question.

[Omar]

I don't feel comfortable with Trachsel going tomorrow.

I can't imagine they would award the RBI then - Kendall held up and watched the play until the ball kicked away.

 

Pirates just doubled their hit count for the evening. Z is slipping.

They gave it to him.

ARod with 2 more HR's tonight putting him at 51, Fielder with his 43rd.

 

Jeter left the game with an injured knee which I know a lot of you will like to hear~.

 

You should never feel comfortable with Trachsel on the mound, heh.

[Outshined_One]

Whew.

[Omar]

PHEW! FOUL!

I predicted about a month in that ARod would only hit 45 hrs this year. My best friend is not going to let me live it down.

[Omar]

C'mon Z!

I feel more comfortable with him on the mound than I would if I were Pittsburgh with Morris.

Drunken exchange from last night while watching Shaolin Soccer:

 

Me - How would you feel cheering for a team called Team Evil?

 

Friend - I think the closest you can get is rooting for the Yankees.

Yeah I said basically the same thing, it was looking good there for a while but then he went on another tear.

I agree that the pitching matchup favors the Cubs, but figuring in the offesnes that each pitcher will face, I believe it will be advantage Pirates.

Anyone know what the deal is with Z and the high socks.

[Outshined_One]

That ump ain't helping Z.

[CubmanPi]

That was strike 4 to Paulino, based on what has been a relatively consistent strike zone so far tonight.

[Butterscup1679666578]

yay Z.

[Omar]

Superstition. Trying something new.

 

Bases loaded.
