I say there's absolutely no way Fuku plays tomorrow. From shots of the bench, it looks like Lou is fed up with him. If Dero can't play RF, then I'm guessing Edmonds in CF and Reed in RF.

 

Fukudome didn't play bad tonight. He wasn't the reason the Cubs lost.

I demand Fontenot at 2B tomorrow. I half-demand Reed Johnson starting in CF and yelling at people all game to focus. Edited October 2, 2008 by DiamondMind

Someone convince me that we will win tomorrow and this won't end like last year.

Our rotation is better than LA. We were the best team in the NL during the regular season, and that hasn't changed in one game. We now have a better offense compared to last year.

 

If we take the game tomorrow, we're still the favorites IMO.

[Little Slide Rooter]

A lot of people predicted us to win today, and lose tommorow. So if we end up winning tommorow, it will be the same result, and we head to the road, where weve played our best lately. If we lose, well, theres alwasy next year. Or the year after that. or the year after that. or never.

Billingsley's numbers far exceed those of Carlos.

What an awful game.

I agree. He made a nice play in RF and had a hard hit ball to third that I thought should have been ruled a base hit. It wasn't a great game, but he wasn't terrible either.

Tomorrow it isn't. Billingsley isn't a product of Dodger stadium like Lowe.

Zambrano will define the season tomorrow either way.

Anyone have the home/road splits post-ASB? Record, WHIP/OPS, anything else that matters... Edited October 2, 2008 by third eye

ERA+

Billingsley: 141

Z: 115

 

I mean is there any specific reason why we have a supposed pitching advantage tomorrow?

I just hope that he doesnt end up making Todd Hundly look like a good signing in the long run.

maybe billingsley will suck, does that happen to other teams?

Right now I care about this series.

[USSoccer]

One thing that will be annoying is the complete panic that the city and fans will be in tomorrow about "Z The Head Case".

 

Also, if we fall behind the crowd is going to be a liability again. Like they were tonight, when they were complete crap. That was embarrasing. Completely embarrasing home field.

This is one where you have to buy the VOL rather than the rate stat story. I think Z either comes up huge or does his 2005-2007 April thing.

I don't. The odds of us winning it are about the same as the odds of a 3-run come back in the late innings. Possible, but not worth hoping on.

The booing is getting way out of hand. There are times when booing is warranted, but it serves no purpose in Game 1 of a playoff series.

When Zambrano is on, he is lights out. Tomorrow he is going to be on.

When your starting pitcher walks seven.

 

Fans have emotions. If they want to let them out, I have no problem with it.

More like a 3 run come back through 3-4 innings. Very possible if they put there mind to it.

That right now has the potential of being the dumbest thing that I have ever heard and I have listened to my fair share of Hawk Harrelson. Unfortunately, you can put your comment on the board as he would say.

Thanks for the guarantee. Guess I can cash out the 401k and run to Vegas with a guarantee like that...

Yes, see the big 3 of the A's from 1999-2003 in the playoffs.
