6/25 Cubs (Z) @ White Sox (Peavy) 3:05 PM CSN/XM176

[javy knows my name]

Nothing would make me happier than to see Lee, Byrd, Dempster or Lilly go nuts on the team in the dugout after another 0-10 with runner's in scoring position performance. Of course, coming from Lee it would seem pretty hollow, considering the fact that he's a major contributor to the team's woes.

Oh yeah. A person said that

[inari]

At the core of it all, Chicago still has two very mediocre baseball teams, the difference...........one team cares.

 

Well, probably not the case at all, but ok.

 

It would sure seem that way, no?

 

In what way do the White Sox have a better lineup or rotation than us on paper?

 

I was referring to caring - both care.

 

As far as the rotation goes; if you can't realize how much better the Sox rotation is there's no helping you.

They dont on paper, but if the Sox top 2 hitters over the past 5 years decided to compltely shut down for almost the first half of the season, they probably wouldnt be on a 9, about to be 10 game win streak.

 

which is what RedFlash basically said and I agreed with...

They have a better rotation on paper.

 

I'll give you that.

[BeerHere]

My guess is Zambrano will be shipped out with us eating 50% or more of the contract and getting very little back in the terms of players.

 

At this point I really don't care what the Cubs get for Z. I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond tired of his act.

 

Seconded

But not by much. Yeah, Id take Peavy over Z in a heartbeat. Tough call between Lilly/Demp and Buerhle/Danks at the 2-3 spots. SIlva/Floyds also a tough call. Silva has been brilliant this year, and Floyd got off to a very rough start but has been lights out for the past month. Id take Freddy Garcia as a number 5 over Wells, but Id probably take Gorzo over Garcia.

[Old Style]

Thank God for the Blackhawks. Otherwise I'd be extra pissed off about this abortion of a team. I haven't seen what happened with Z/Lee yet, but it sounds like Z needs to go. He really is a classless jerk.

[rynefan]

Beckham? Really?

What happened? Persoanlly, as far as Im concerned they can both go.

[Schwarber Fan]

need to break out of a season long sophomore slump? Play the Cubs!

And I hold Lou responsible for having his team ready to play to their potential each and every day.

And if you believe the talk of the issues in the clubhouse, it's gotten really bad, just now spilled over into the dugout.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Sweep away Sox, but dont blame the Cubs when your stuck with the Curse of the BP Cup.

Actually, the Cubs starters, and entire pitching staff, has outperformed the Sox this year. And their offenses are virtually identical. Yet, somehow, the Cubs are 8 (soon to be 9) games under .500 and the Sox are 3 (soon to be 4) games over .500. Crazy.

I haven't seen it, but it's discussed on page 2/3 of this thread.

Whats that guys? I can't hear you...Zambrano what? I'm sorry I'm too busy watching the World Cup, gossiping about NBA Free Agency, and checking the gossip pages to see what hijinks Kane and the Stanely Cup were up to last night. Oh wait, gotta rip another page off my wall calendar. Now only 34 days until the Bears report to Bourbonnais.

 

Gonna make it...gonna make it...gonna make it....

[Schwarber Fan]

Even when the Bears are mediocre or bad, they keep me entertained. When the Cubs are terrible, only little Z-splosions like today's are even remotely interesting.

Lee seemed to just stand there and take Z's yelling.

Hopefully things get interesting soon when they trade everything they can.

The only saving grace is that just two weeks ago, most would have said that the Sox were worse than the Cubs. So there could be hope if we could see some sort of production from the core of our team.
