Did you forget about Soriano?

You do realize that Brenly and Len are doing the game on WGN, right?

Says on ESPNews. Dead @ 38. RIP Shooter.

Underdogs? Have you been reading the publications? You guys are far from underdogs by any publications.

I like you, Soriano. I like you a lot.

Trade him so Hill, Lilly and Marquis are your 1-2-3 for the next couple of years. Good choice.

i still don't want to sign him because he is going to want 5 or 6 years and that is way too long don't get me wrong, i really do love zambrano...the contract length is going to be silly though 5-6 years for a guy who's entering his prime, and you're worried about the length. I could see if he was 30-31, but he's not.

What in the past makes you think he's going to get any worse or back to bad?

Maybe we should sign him to a contract extension.... YES, please.

Keep Hill, get rid of Marshall.

Hopefully Good Zambrano is back for good. He looks great.

He's supposed to be back this game, isnt he? Yep, and probably DH this series.

What, are they gpnna rip down Williams' to make room for Sammy?!? Poor Billy... Nah, he was the only guy I couldn't remember.

Who cares about the sox. This Royal fan (my 2nd favorate team) does. Seeing the Sox lose and hopefully that KC win tonight aganist St. Louis would mean that the KC is threatening to get out of the cellar in the AL Central, and the Sox in dead last. So when do we see White Sox bandwagoners become Cubs fans again?

That guy deserves a flag up in Wrigley with Sandberg, Santo, and Banks.

Sometimes a change is in order, not only for the team but for the player. Barrett, right, wrong, or indifferent was singled out early on as one of the trouble makers and therefore one of the scapegoats on this team for this year. Even if he went on to win the Batting Title, he still would have been tagged for the fight with Z, v 1.0. There were a number of things he was getting blamed for (justly or unjustly) in defense, game calling, team relations, mental errors, and base running blunders. Does this mean he was the only one doing it? No, others have been thrown out stealing 3rd and getting hung up between the bases. But consistently, he was one of the ones showing the least amount of proper judgement in his total game. I hope he does well in SD, and i am glad we got a return on him before he headed out on us via FA. This at least gives us a backup catcher under contract for next year. Blanco is headed for surgery and that may be touch and go And Hendry is not giving up this year just yet. That is a terrible way to justify a trade. Clubhouse chemistry doesn't matter, I don't care that fans (you especially) blamed him for things that you are now admitting were only partially his fault. His production this year is pretty much guaranteed to outpace Bowen's significantly since Bowen can't hit. This is still a terrible trade. Saying you had to trade a guy because he was marked for trading is asinine. Clubhouse chemistry doesn't matter? Did you play baseball ever in your life?

Damn Giants. Bases loaded in the ninth with one out, and don't score.

Surprised me that they didn't call up Ankiel. He is crushing Triple A pitching.

Going to lose the ninth pick for Kobe.

He's not pitching today.

Only way he's going to get out is if he starts playing so we can trade his sorry ass. I've never hate someone so much in a Cubs uniform as much as Junk Jones. I refuse to call him Jacque. It's junk forever.

Fake rally time.

How was Z up close? :) Dominant.

I will also be there. Go Rich, go.
