5/1: Brewers (Gallardo) @ Cubs (Z), 1:20, WGN

[E.J.]

There are three things that drive me nuts. Why is Cedeno not getting a chance to start over Theriot? Why is Pie not getting a chance at all? And Soriano leading off is about as stupid as it gets. Stop catering to him and just move him down in the lineup.

[ctcf]

It's ridiculous. It's not like I even dislike Theriot. I actually like him. But I don't like him as a starting SS.

 

He's a nice option as a cheap backup infielder. A refreshing change from the Ramon Martinezes and Neifis of the world. But that's where it should end.

 

Truth. Honestly if Ronny hadn't looked like he has so far I'd even be content with him at SS for the time being.

Someone get that woman a throat lozenge.

[Outshined_One]

Yes! The Whack-a-Fontenot!

[illiniguy]

Z needs help.

[Careless]

I wonder, how many players does Zambrano have a unique pregame ritual with?

[cubbyvirus00]

hahahahaha Z is awesome

[SouthSideRyan]

My dream scenario invloves Cuban buying the Cubs and then cutting Theriot immediately. The guy is so less than league average it isn't even funny. Yet, everyone with the cubs thinks he is the answer.

 

He's definitely worth something as a utility player. As is often the case with our whipping boys, it's not the whipping boy's fault. He'd be fine in the role he's suited to. That role(although he has been worth it so far this season) is not as a starting SS.

I wish we'd see more of the blue jerseys.

 

I was sort of meh on them before, but absence made the heart grow fonder, I guess.

 

I wouldn't mind never seeing the road grey jerseys again. I've hated those since they introduced them in like 97.

[TruffleShuffle]

if theriot really had great intangibles he'd bench himself for cedeno

[David]

Two quick outs. Nice.

[Brian]

crap, get fatty out of the way here

[David]

Braun with a line drive off DeRosa's glove. Error.

[illiniguy]

Nice play DeRo.

[TruffleShuffle]

cedeno would've made that play.

[erik316wttn]

3-1 on Fatty

[Outshined_One]

Z having a bit of a problem with control in the early going.

[Brian]

probably the last time Z and Demp will be compared to Wood and Prior

[erik316wttn]

Fatty grounds to DeRo. Inning over.

[C.C.]

14 pitches for the inning. Not bad, but could've been better without the error.

[illiniguy]

probably the last time Z and Demp will be compared to Wood and Prior

Can you imagine our offense now with the old Wood and Prior in this rotation?

[fallingpieces]

I missed the comparison. What was it?

[mopapa]

Ryan Theriot kicked my dog.

 

 

I wish he had broken his foot doing it.

 

The way people on this board rip him, I think he's kicked everyone's dog and slept with a few wives and girlfriends.

Z and Demp were compared to Wood and Prior.
