[Little Slide Rooter]

Great game. The offense was able to bail out Marquis and Howry, even without Soriano and Ramirez. Once those 2 get moving, we should be in great shape.

[Bull]

so is the season now not over?

that season is still over; this is a new one.

WOOOOOO!

[Andy]

SHAM CLOSER!!!!

 

<3 Fukudome.

 

Big, big win.

[CubmanPi]

Great game. The offense was able to bail out Marquis and Howry, even without Soriano and Ramirez. Once those 2 get moving, we should be in great shape.

Agreed. With Fuku and Soto shaping up to have good seasons and Lee already coming around, we could be in for some shootouts this year. If Lou ever realizes we have better SP options in the bullpen and Iowa, the rotation could even be reliable too.

[cbbryan]

Z pitches well tomorrow and the Cubs have a chance to win their first series of the year.

[WrigleyinEngland]

I'm going to eat me something Japanese to celebrate!!! ok might be a little difficult from my local food store but i'll try....does chinese count??!!!!! :oops: :oops:

Now a Kansas loss tonight and my day's made!

Having said that, my best friend is a Cards fan. :banghead:

 

Find new friends.

 

I once had a friend who was a Cardinals fan........... but it ate a hole in the box and got away.

Lou just said Johnson and Blanco will start tomorrow. Edited April 5, 2008 by Omar

[JimSorgi]

Lou just said Johnson and Soto will start tomorrow.

And the fall of Felix Pie begins...

[Little Slide Rooter]

Lou just said Johnson and Soto will start tomorrow.

 

I wonder if the same gos for Theriot.

[Omar]

Reed Johnson is 1/2 with that hit being a home run against Brandon Backe. Thats likely why.

[ChiCubsFan]

Reed Johnson is 1/2 with that hit being a home run against Brandon Backe. Thats likely why.

 

I would bet it has more to do with the way the offense "clicked" today with Johnson in the 2 hole and how miserable it looked in the first 4 games with Pie in CF.

 

For the record, I want Pie to start in CF everyday.
