  1. Indeed. Yes, but that was because of the staggered off-days (away - offday - away - offday - home - home - home). That allowed them to use a 4-man and pitch Z twice in the first four games, 3x in the first 8. eta: 8, not 7 I think
  2. I feel sorry for him. People complained about his defense at 2B, and then he's put in at 3B the second game after he shows up in SD.
  3. Kind of amusing the Cubs would have two pitchers win it in four months on a stinky team.
  4. Didn't Maddux win Pitcher of the Month for April?
  5. When Bellhorn is your defensive replacement at 3B, it's not good.
  6. Gameday shows him in the lineup at 3B but still has him as at 2B in the play-by-play Biggio grounded out to shortstop. Taveras singled to center, Ausmus scored, Backe to second. Backe singled to left center, Ausmus to second. Ausmus safe at first on 2nd baseman Walker´s throwing error. Everett flied out to center. Wilson lined out to second.
  7. He's at 3B!! Any reviews?
  8. or feeding paranoia about Aramis leaving.
  9. Is anyone listening to the I-Cubs broadcast?
  10. I sat behind the most excited Jaxx fan there! D'OH
  11. My undoubtedly swayed BA voters. 8-)
  12. I'm interested in seeing what Hendry decides to do with CF and the Cubs and the plans for Pie. Fuld and Walker both seem deserving of promotion to the next level.
  13. Phshaw, Z is holding out for the Player of the Month Award.
  14. That would be one way to figure out if there was a prospect package in play for Maddux or not.
  15. Wow. Where did that come from? Are they saying he has good range that compensates for (and belies) his error rate? Maybe a steady improvement? I'm glad to hear it -- and he certainly was solid in the few games I saw -- but I'm just wondering where it came from given reports to date.
  16. Hill starting from here on out should be a top priority for the Cubs. Then Hill and Marshall (and Guzman and Marmol and Prior -- hate to say it -- and whoever else is in or out of the mix at that future point) compete for the available rotation spots and we all argue about whether the competition is fair and who should win it. There are so many external factors at play regarding where Zito ends up that I don't know how much Hill's and Marshall's future success really matters in that equation. I just don't see Zito as a Cub regardless, but stranger things have happened.
  17. Teixeira made his HR Derby owners happy today.
  18. I absolutely love the slide photo vs. Oakland with Sammy in the background, That game was insane. I saved the WGN720 call from Jon's site -- it's that awesome. Top Todd Walker Era Moments: 1) The Slide scoring the winning run vs. Oakland. 2) Drawing a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 9th after being down 0-2 to force in the winning run and complete the Cubs' sweep of the White Sox at Wrigley in '04. 3) Almost hitting for the cycle vs Clemens but getting 2HRs instead of a double.
  19. Phone calls were mentioned by both. Are people calling Wrigley and leaving racist messages? Road trip hotels? I don't get it.
  20. Direct from Vegas to Chicago >>> Connecting flight from Jackson TN to Chicago (or driving) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/laserena06/theriotonthebench.jpg
