04/21 NY Mets (Maine) @ CUBS (Zambrano) 6:05pm, WCIU & ESPN

[SABR Gamer]

Guys, the Chicago Cubs are actually a good ball club, wtf.

[BleacherBadger]

I would rather not pitch Wood here. I realize he hasn't pitched in the past 3 games, but we still play everyday until next Sunday or so. Might need him

[CubmanPi]

strike out here and your never starting again

 

your still not going to get much playing time

 

And if Zambrano starts, your in trouble!

This still amuses me, 5 years later. Well done.

I was feeling disappointed -- thanks for noticing!

Is it sad that when I saw Pie's face after that home run I had to hold back tears.

 

No, no...not sad.. It's like a couple people have expressed: it's like seeing our own children growing up before our eyes

Center Fielder of the future, it's really heart warming to see that happen.

Throw Howry in there. Not even he can screw this one up...

[Andy]

Is it sad that when I saw Pie's face after that home run I had to hold back tears.

Not at all. I think a lot of us are right with you. I didn't get to see his face but I wanted to.

[Outshined_One]

It's only April...but man, I really love this team.

[CubsGM]

Cubs are 3 outs away from win #9998

i'm right there with you. i love seeing struggling players come up big.

 

no reason for wood to be in here, but whatever.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wood in to pitch for the CUBS

[CubInOK]

Is anyone listening on the radio? I'm just curious to how Santo was that half inning.

 

He went pretty crazy on the Cedeno single.

[BleacherBadger]

seems like a great night for no 1000!go cubs i luv u this year much more than the others!isn't winning fun??!! :lol: :lol:

 

WOOOO. What time is it there?

[Roast]

Is it sad that when I saw Pie's face after that home run I had to hold back tears.

No cause I was smiling ear to ear.

 

I loved even more the reaction he got from Ronny and the other guys in the dugout.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castillo grounded out to first, unassisted

[SABR Gamer]

Is it sad that when I saw Pie's face after that home run I had to hold back tears.

 

No, no...not sad.. It's like a couple people have expressed: it's like seeing our own children growing up before our eyes

 

Exactly

Yeah...not at all. Felix seems like a guy who just so badly wants to succeed. It is nice to see it when he does.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wright flied out to right field

He was already warmed up, so really not an option, unfortunately.

[FergieJ31]

There are a lot of bummed out ppl at Miller Park about right now, checking the scoreboard...

 

WTG Ronny!! (and Felix :D )

[C.C.]

I would rather not pitch Wood here. I realize he hasn't pitched in the past 3 games, but we still play everyday until next Sunday or so. Might need him

 

Nah. Gotta keep him sharp.

[Sosa21MVP]

It's only April...but man, I really love this team.

[CubmanPi]

I'd like to take this opportunity to admit that, coming into the season, I saw little reason for optimism with this team.
