9/23 Pirates (Gorzelanny) @ Cubs (Z) 1:20 PM CDT WGN/720

[A New Era]

Zambrano man. Come on buddy. This is your time to shine.

 

Please!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

You know it's a good thing when it's the middle of September and I'm going to watch baseball on Sunday instead of football!

 

Go Cubs!

[David]

Zambrano needs to pitch a great game. This is a kinda game in crutch time that Aces step up. Time to Man up!

 

who broke their leg?

 

Minus whale add that one to the list.

I'd post this in the fantasy forum...but since there's only about an hour before i have to decide...I've got Zambrano and Gorz on my fantasy team and I'm going for the championship with a good chunk of change on the line. I'm currently up by in all the pitching categories by a slim margin, and ERA is the tiebreaker. My gut tells me to bench Gorz cuz I'm a cubs fan and they're on a roll with the bats, but my brain tells me i'm going to kill myself if i only start Z, he gets rocked, and Gorzo throws a gem...what do I do?

Easy. Start Z. You can't root against him at this point in the season, and you can take comfort in that being the reason you made your decision.

As I posted in the other forum, Fred has an extra ticket to this game. He's already in the city. It's a pretty good seat and I think he'd probably give it away. If anyone can make it there, let me know and I'll tell you how to contact him.

That's what I'm thinking...but if I lose a lot of money for essentially being a Cubs fan I'm going to hate them even more for all the torture

It's not like it's just for being a Cubs fan. Z isn't exactly a crappy pitcher (even though he's been crappy at times), and the Cubs offense has been firing on all cylinders.

wow is that for sure.

 

you going to have the guts to cheer on the cowboys on this board? :P

[Mizzou]

FYI, the Cubs are having a Push For The Playoffs special on before the game today. It starts at 12:30.

 

The Rams game is on, but I'm watching the Brewers and Braves game. Football can wait!

This week is the worst week ever to have 3 exams each worth 30% of our grade...

It's crazy. Football is such an afterthought for me right now. I almost forget the Bears are the national game tonight.

That's Tony Gwynn. Come on now.

Tony Gwynn. Great, great player but not a guy who should be talking about baseball on TV.

[Roast]

I'll be watching this game from the right field peephole (unless yet another awesome person comes and gives me a free ticket...it's happened 4 times already). I love living close to wrigley.

Oohhhh Harsh.

I didnt see this anywhere else, so here's a link to an excellent NY story about Piniella and the 07 Cubs.

Was anyone watching that montage just now on WGN? Freaking sweet.

Die. I freaking hate you.

 

Also, good luck with the ticket. Have fun!

[Mizzou]

Yeah, that was pretty awesome. I wonder if that'll make it's way online. I missed the beginning of it.

I missed the beginning too, and I'd definitely like to get my hands on a copy.
