Another beauty from Muskats mailbag

[Keener98]

Seriously are there really Cubs fans out there that are this stupid?

 

I read that Carlos Zambrano was playing a little first base in the offseason to strengthen his legs. Would Piniella ever consider using him at first base to give Lee a day off, because of Zambrano's hitting ability?

-- Jason C., Des Moines, Iowa

 

Maybe its just Iowans :-"

Indy I believe

That is dumb. If he plays anywhere on non-pitching days it should be SS.

That would be fun to watch! I wonder if he could throw harder to first than Shawon?

He's working on a knuckler so Lee can win the gold glove again this year.

It should be a rule that all infielders have to throw knuckle balls to first.

Been to baseball game recently? Hell, any sporting event really. I often enjoy just sitting back and listening to some of the comments that people make at the game.

I'm originally from Iowa (Univ. of Iowa grad/ Go Hawks!). I think you'll find that Iowans are some of the best informed fans out there. In this case, I'd like to think that Jason C. is very young in age. hopoefully, this is the reason for such a ridiculous post.

I bet Daryl Ward loves hearing that he should get even fewer ABs this year. With RF and LF locked up and DeRosa "possibly seeing time at first" if he becomes a bench player.

I think all of you are missing the point: Why would the Muskat include this gem in her column?

To get us to comment on it?

As a Wiconsin Badger alum, a University of Illinois student, and a Chicago native, I approve of the Iowa bashing. :D

I think they go thru and pick the most ignorant questions for laughs, because I swear every week there is some kind of stupid ass question like this.

Did you transfer from Wisconsin or are you at Illinois for grad school?

Or it could be somebodies nephew or a friend that they thought would be cool to have one of their questions on the site.

I'm with Sweet Swinging Billy and Cuse on this. I'm a half-full guy anyway (maybe that is why I still believe in the Cubs!), but whenever I see a question like this, I don't think it is some 42-year-old guy with no clue. I usually assume (perhaps wrongly) that it is some ten-year-old kid excited about the Cubs without the understanding yet that Big Z wouldn't ever be put in to give D Lee a day off. And if that's the case, and the kid is excited about seeing his question, then more power to him.

 

On the other hand, if it is some 42-year-old guy, then he needs to go manage the Cardinals or something.
