    Hey Lou hit and run, its worth a try.
  2. gflore34
    What about our other pitchers? Should Lee and Ramirez get booed for having no power this year? Anytime a player has a bad run they should get booed? You can't compare other pitchers to Z. He's paid close to 100 million dollars to win games like yesterday. He's been flat out our worse pitcher down the stretch. I wasn't booing him but, I was damned pissed, he and the Cubs shouldn't be losing games to flotsam and jetsam crap like Loaiza. Along the way, giving up a two run single to said crap.

    Booing or not, its immaterial to me, what matters most is the Cubs lead in the Central, it's not at 4.5 or more games as a direct result of his inability to win a game since the ASB.

    If Zambrano continues to pitch this poorly, should some consideration be given to leaving him off the playoff roster?
  5. gflore34
    Maybe this clown should be skipped his next turn.

    How many BB's is the big a-hole going to issue this inning after 2 outs?
  7. gflore34
    Way to show up big "Ace" - you piece of crap!!!!
  8. gflore34
    Thus far Loaiza gotten away with two meatballs DeRosa and Jones both popped them up.
  9. gflore34
    And right on cue the "Ace" gives lead up.
  10. gflore34
    If the Cubs win today it'll render whatever the Brewers do meaningless...
  11. gflore34
    Any chance the supposed "Ace" shows up tomorrow?
  12. gflore34
    He'd have at least 2 HR's by now if he was Cardinal...

    It appears to me that pitchers have throwing to him in the same exact manner every at bat. In fact, its been going on for, at least, the last two months. Its hard for me to believe he or the coaches have yet to figure this out yet, he continues to take the same pitch for strike after strike. Why hasn't he made any adjustments? Pitchers have found an effective approach - they're not going to alter it until Lee renders it ineffective.

    Is Derek Lee going to stop sucking anytime soon?
  16. gflore34
    I thought it was the right call however, I was worried that Dempster would walk in two or more runs. But, the saving grace is the Brewers are actually worse than the Cubs at drawing BB's and Mench will swing as long as the pitch resides in the same zip code.
  17. gflore34
    Well, the supposed "Ace" didn't show up last night, funny, every time the Cubs have needed Zambrano to come up big he's failed miserably. If the Cubs still manage to win the division, I wonder if Lou shouldn't go with Hill or Lilly as his No. 1 starter.

    Desperation on the Brewers side really helps optimism for us. This is a pretty big gamble in starting Sheets, hopefully it doesn't pan out for the Brewers. It just sucks that whenever we should knock a guy around we end up getting shut out or something. I have a feeling Sheets will struggle with control, and I'm afraid our hitters just wont let themselves get ahead in counts. But again, I still think we drop a big crooked number on Sheets in the first couple innings. It sure would help if the Cubs approach Sheets as opponents seem to approach Zambrano - take, take, take and let him pitch himself into trouble. 14th in Walks in the National League. :? Very frustrating, I believe this may be a contributing factor in their struggles vs LHP. Most of them have been soft tossers who stay outside, the Cubs refusing to take a pitch never let them get behind in the count. As result, they stay outside, never come inside and the Cubs hit weak grounders and lazy fly balls.

    It sure would be great if the supposed "Ace" shows up tonight and not the fellow who has given up 10 ER over his last 12.1 IP including a 2R HR to Matt Cain (sporting a robust .082 BA).

    Somebody needs to tell Fonzie to lay off the first pitch or two tonight...make Sheets work early.... Maybe he could talk to the Riot about that... Or maybe not: Soriano: 3.65 P/PA Theriot: 3.59 P/PA Do you have the above statistics for his stretch in the one spot? In the leadoff spot: Soriano; 3.62 P/PA Theriot: 3.47 P/PA Thanks, I guess its a case of illusion over reality - I should have checked the statistics first...
  22. gflore34
    because it's a race between marginal teams. you can argue who is better but none are good and thus none are capable of pulling away. I believe what separates the Cubs from the Brewers and Cardinals is their pitching; it’s far and away the best of the three. And, eventually it'll win out...

    It'll be much easier if Lee and Ramirez start to hit again.
