9/3 Astros (Wolf) @ COBS (Dempster) 7:05 CSN Chicago

[third eye]

Well this stretch just adds to argument that head to head and home/road splits don't matter all that much. it's all about how you are playing at that time, especially when sample sizes get smaller. For an additional point of reference, the Cubs swept a 4 game series vs. the Stros in Houston in 2004, when they were playing poorly. This stuff happens.

Hoffpauir and his .360 AAA average remain on the bench

Lou says that Z wasn't even at the park tonight. Is that normal?

That stuck out to me as well.

 

I'm really, really worried about Zambrano.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Lou is very matter of fact in the PG. He's very under control and just said: "They out played us, out pitched us and out hit us".

 

He also said that Z wasn't at the game tonight. I gotta say, his act is wearing thin. IMO, he's a selfish prick.

Kaplan is questioning Z's mental state and what his deal is

LOL oh Kap

[Choonch]

Where are you guys listening to Kaplan? I went to the WGN radio website and clicked on listen live, but it wasn't Cubs talk.

I have mlb.tv and am listening to it through that

Kaps a seaon ticket holder and lives and dies with the Cubs like us. He's pretty ticked at Z. Go, Kap!

Does he actually have a reason? So far, I haven't heard a thing.

A reason for what, Raisin?

To be ticked off at Z.

 

Doesn't sound like Lou is.

He said that Z's mental state is not where it needs to be. He's about to go off, seriously. Not only that but the phone lines are lit up. Get the pop corn.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Kap: "You're making 90M and you are told to get an MRI and you do not go. He's taking a ton of the Cubs money and is the supposed ace of the staff, so you have to question his mental state".

 

He just ripped Sori as well.

I'm interested to hear the rest of it if you don't mind doing play-by-play.

[UMFan83]

Dempster will at Einstein Bagels tomorrow morning.

Absolutely. Not good times in Chicago right now.

I agree with him.

 

I have no freaking clue if he was supposed to be at the game tonight, but Lou kinda sounded like he didn't know why Z wasn't at the game. If thats the case he needs to be suspended because thats Sosa-stuff right there.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Just Ripped Sori. "He should be ashamed of himself for how he plays the game. He loafs on the play at the plate when he could have been at second. A wonderfully talented player who's Baseball smarts are below average".

[Ski]

I think a good ripping is what the Cubs need right now.

[17 Seconds]

I can't believe I wasted my time watching this game when Mega Man was just released on the Wii virtual console

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Kap is steaming. I've chatted with him at games and let me tell you, he wears it on his sleeve like us.

[erik316wttn]

Z is an immature idiot, both off the mound and on it.

[CubInOK]

Just Ripped Sori. "He should be ashamed of himself for how he plays the game. He loafs on the play at the plate when he could have been at second. A wonderfully talented player who's Baseball smarts are below average".

I didn't think he loafed on that play tonight.
