    I believe people are suggesting Rich Hill has been better than Z since the middle of last season. There are causes for concern for Z though - his back, his weight, his BBs. Since August 1: Rich Hill: 83.2 IP, 2.47 ERA, 84 K/21 BB, 0.91 WHIP, 11 HR Carlos Zambrano: 78 IP, 4.62 ERA, 68 K/44 BB, 1.47 WHIP, 8 HR Carlos has better stuff and has a much longer and better history but Hill obviously has been much, much better over the last half season. This may be a simplistic view on my part but, if Hill continues to consistently throw strikes along with hitting his spots and Zambrano doesn't, Hill will be the Cubs defacto ace. Until Zambrano consistently throws strikes he'll always be a level below the Chris Carpenters, Roy Oswalts, etc.

    I don't know what' worse the Cubs losing in the manner that they did or hearing about the beginning of the end for Prior (I guess that wasn't much of a shock).

    When the weather heats up That could be June or July, of course, it goes without saying Slappy will hit a HR before Soriano does - so Cub Like.
  4. gflore34
    Does anyone have a guess as to when Soriano' going to homer? I'm guessing late May.

    The Reds bullpen will blow up today, book it...

    At first glance, one could mistake Floyd' CBS Sportsline Game Center picture for Neifi...
  7. gflore34
    Why do get the feeling that if Soriano' on any other team in Baseball he has at least 1 HR by now? Watch, it's going to take him a month+ to get going by which time the Cubs will be in a big hole.

    Hold on second, did the Cubs actually pitch a scoreless first inning at home? When was the last time that happened? 2003?
  9. gflore34
    I'm as fustrated as anyone however, realtive to last season there is far too much quality in this lineup. They're, to borrow a term from Hockey, gonna get her going, its not like were talking of a lineup with Slappy and Perez hitting 1&2 along with whatever crap Dusty decided to pencil in at 1B. I still believe 1-7 this is the best lineup in the NL Central, they'll bare it out.

    The saving grace is Piniella won't continue to find reasons to play Isturis as the great Dusty would have. We'll see the Riot before long...
  11. gflore34
    I'm calling another Izturis boot to prolong the inning.
  12. gflore34
    well here' s the thing about the pepsi machine....he won't swing at bad pitches, but when he gets on base he really clogs them up....so its a wash Think about trying to cover 2b with the Pepsi machine bearing down on you.
  13. gflore34
    That's OK if you get rid of ball quickly ala David Eckstein.
  14. gflore34
    The Pepsi machine could play SS better than Izturis and, probably get on just as often.
  15. gflore34
    ...but its not OK to pitch to him with opposing runners on, most especially balls anywhere near the dirt.
  16. gflore34
    Marquis perhaps headed for another quality start? I gotta think if the Cubs continue to get QS they're going win some ballgames. Of course, at the moment, it appears the QS must be of shutout/no hit/perfect game variety.
  17. gflore34
    Carlos Lee, one of two people I'd like to see brushed off the plate, the other is Adam Dunn.
  18. gflore34
    I still don't understand the utility of having him assigned to Iowa when there's something wrong. Why not admit there's something wrong and take the steps to repair it and try for 2008?
  19. gflore34
    I don't, Eyre made a bad pitch, I'd take a match up with garbage like Counsell anyday of the week.
  20. gflore34
    Nothing's more frustrating than seeing the very definition of medicore crap, Counsell, go 3-5 while getting the biggest hit of the game.
  21. gflore34
    You know you're having a bad day when medicore players like Counsel and Miller are hitting you hard. Seems like Capuano approach is away, away, inside for show, away, away - not too hard to figure out.
  22. gflore34
    After the opening day flop they have played quite well. I may be drinking too much Cub koolaid today but, I see the makings of a pretty good team, one capable of running away with the NL Central.
  23. gflore34
    Forgive me for being picking but, shouldn't a game thread have a score once in a while? I know the handed one to the Reds today, was the final 4-2?
  24. gflore34
    Reds 3, Cubs 2 in the bottom of the eighth. Soriano will lead off the ninth. Thank you.
  25. gflore34
    Reds 4,432 Cubs 0 At least that is what you could assume by simpy reading this. I was think more along the lines of Reds: 4 * 10(to the 10th) Cubs: -infinity Where's Fred?
