WHO THE HELL BOUGHT A CLARK GRISWOLD BLACKHAWKS JERSEY?!

 

I have no idea who this is, or why I should be outraged.

 

Chevy Chase's character in the Vacation movies.

 

It'd be like buying a Henry Rowengartner Cubs jersey.

 

Not quite as cool as a New York Knights #9 jersey.

the Cajun Connection connects!

[UMFan83]

Would be a good AB to park one Z.

Cajun connection!

Except totally different. Clark's blackhawks jersey was a classic, he was a fan wearing a personalized jersey, and a terrific character. Henry was a fictional player.

 

Speaking of fictional characters wearing hawks jerseys. I just saw the beginning of summer rental the other day and was schoked to find out that his character lives in Georgia.

I know Z likes to swing, but please bunt.

[Careless]

the top 12 teams in SB have one or two CS each, aside from the Cubs

[cheapseats]

I think Bob Brenly gets aroused when he talks about the hit and run.

[erik316wttn]

Z parks one here.

[UMFan83]

Ludwick has a hell of an arm.

 

Speaking of people you'd expect to regress...

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Aren't catchers a worry when they are in their early 30s and have a lot of catching innings in their knees? Soto is still only what 26?

 

On average I'd worry when they have a lot of innings on their knees, regardless of age. But not everyone's average. Soto's comp list has a fair number of guys who fell off to varying degrees, and everybody's bodies react differently.

[Guest]

Zambrano patience.

[Careless]

odds Z swings at the 3-0?

[Bruno7481]

I love Theriot when he is shooting those balls the other way. I'm probably the only one around here who thinks that though.

[Outshined_One]

Z with a great eye!

[CubmanPi]

Z!!!

[Tryptamine]

heh, how do you walk the pitcher?

[haubrich91]

Lol first walk since 2006 for Z.

[UMFan83]

That's Z's first regular season walk since 2006.

 

He did take one in Game 2 of the NLDS last year.

[Flames24Rulz]

It seems a tad bit premature to think Soto has regressed.

 

Stop being logical.

[weis21]

hahaha

 

OK Fonzy, don't look like an idiot like last time

 

The rest of the Cubs apparently think this guy sucks

[Outshined_One]

heh, how do you walk the pitcher?

 

On four pitches!

[erik316wttn]

Yeah, at this point this is where I kick my pitcher in the butt, first MLB start or 500th start. There is no earthly excuse to walk the pitcher.

[Guest]

How do you walk Zambrano - he goes up there looking to swing at just about everything.

[Rob]

If anybody was wondering, Z did indeed have the longest active streak for PA without a walk.
