Gorzellany went to Marist High School

 

Marist sucks.

[rawaction]

If the Pirates want to beat the Cubs at any point this year, this is the series they better do it. A rookie in his 2nd start and Jason Marquis in the same series. They have been pitching decently of late. Series will be a lot tougher than last time the Pirates came to Chicago.

[UMFan83]

We own the Gorzzzzz

[genbar]

Gorzelanny looks like Sloth.

Gogettim.

[cubbyvirus00]

Cmon boys......lets keep the offense and pitching going!

[haubrich91]

Keep up the winning. Go Cubs!

[otis89]

The Cubs own the Pirates and they own Gorzelanny.

[Outshined_One]

I'll be in the bleachers!

[Derwood]

the Pirates are something like 3 over .500 against everyone except the Cubs

[splintersag]

First game on WGN in a while. Hopefully Gallagher dominates, so he secures a rotation spot. We then need Hill to get it done in Iowa, and we may then be able kick out atleast some of the former Cardinal scum :D .

2006 Cubs - awful team

2007 Cubs - decent team

2008 Cubs - title contender

 

It's not that surprising

the Pirates are something like 3 over .500 against everyone except the Cubs

5 over.

[UMFan83]

I honestly wonder if Gorzelanny is going to get any sleep tonight with the Cubs looming tomorrow. I mean look at his 2 starts against us this year:

 

2.1 IP 6 H 7 ER 4 BB

2.2 IP 6 H 7 ER 4 BB

 

Other than that, he's been pretty damn good

 

08 vs. Cubs: 0-1 25.20

08 vs. Everyone Else: 3-2 2.73 ERA

feeling optimistic over there jake? the pirates aren't ready to contend this year IMO, but there have been some promising signs, and i think that neal huntington has the organization headed in a much better direction (granted, it'd be hard to be worse than littlefield)

I actually want the Pirates to be good. Not at the expense of us, but like Wild Card good.

2.1 IP 6 H 7 ER 4 BB

2.2 IP 6 H 7 ER 4 BB

 

The best part is when you look at his starts against everyone else:

 

vs. non-Cubs: 29 2/3 IP, 20 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 21 BB. ERA of 2.73, WHIP of 1.38

 

vs. Cubs: 5 IP, 12 H, 14 ER, 8 BB. ERA of 25.20, WHIP of 4.00.

Yeah, they've been suffering for so long. Hell, even the Rays got it together.
