    I mean c'mon on! Looper?

    Wow! That was a stress free win. This is what an "Ace" is supposed to do. I do find it alarming we couldn't more runs off of Redman.
  3. C.C.
    Nah...We'll score 1.

    Gotta tip your cap to Redman. He's pitching a whale of a game.
  5. C.C.
    So you have him winning the Cy Young eh?

    If he was a Cub it would only be a matter of time before he went back on Crack.

    Offseason was OK, but he was at max value last July. Yanks could have had him for the 2006 stretch run plus all of 2007. Arod was in the NY doghouse then too, so I'm sure a Z for Arod swap could have happened. Why would A-Rod have ok'd that deal? He may be getting it pretty bad in NY, but A-Rod's pretty smart in this: he knows that if he agreed to go from a first place to a last place team last year, his reputation as a "loser" might have been cemented forever. He would rather have stuck in NY and had the chance to win the WS last year and change his reputation. Now, maybe, A-Rod might agree to come to the Cubs because of 2 reasons: 1)The Cubs have a decently better roster, which gives A-Rod the hope that he could lead the team to a title, and 2) Lou. A-Rod would almost certainly have declined a trade to last year's Cubs, even if the Yankees had wanted to do it. Or if he helped the Cubs win, he would be cemented forever as a savior. I'm not sure if players think like that? If they did, why would anyone want to be a Cub.

    Hoping to win, but expecting to lose...

    I wouldn't be surprised...

    Link He's the ace and it has nothing to do with being a LHP. You'll get zero agruements with that statement.

    The last great month the team had was in 2003 in the month of Sept.

    With a 9th inning bases loaded nobody out threat, only to hit into a triple play. The triple play shall unfold thusly: Matt Murton is on 3rd base, Derrek Lee on 2nd, and A-Ram on 1st. Jacque Jones at bat. Closer Bob Wickman uncorks a wild pitch to the back stop. Murton panics or a second before stumbling towards home, where he is tagged out by 10 feet. In the mean time, Lee attempts to take third and Ramirez second, but Lee gets caught in a run down, and both Derrek and Aramis end up standing on second, where Lee is tagged out. Thinking the ballgame is over, Ramirez starts trotting back to the dugout where he is tagged for the third out. After this play, NSBB posters will blame Jacque for the loss Sounds like a typical Cubs game to me...

    The first sentence might be true (hard to say what the Yankees think - I'd be shocked if they thought anyone was better than Jeter). But if Z could piece together a good start or two, they would certainly listen. ARod might bolt after the year anyway, so they might take Z if they can get an extension in place for him. It'll take another pitching prospect or two, I would think, but they'll certainly listen. Of course, Z would go to NY and suddenly find control and become one of the best pitchers in baseball - leading them to the WS for 3 or 4 years. Just b/c we're the Cubs and that's how things work. ...and ARod will struggle, hitting .200 or so, ultimately, ending his season on the DL after a rupturing his Achilles tendon while running out a routine GB or some such nonsense. That's a gimme.

    At this point I trust both of our lefties over Zambrano.

    This team should and will win today...Then lose tomorrow, then win on Saturday, followed by a loss on Sunday....ETC....
  17. C.C.
    Spoken for the truth.

    It's kinda funny when Marquis had a similar outing people on this board was trashing it as a terrible start. Now it's good because it's Z? No, it's bad because it's Z. He lost the game in the 1st inning. You had a tired team looking for a lift from their Ace, and he spotted the Braves 4 runs right off the bat. Not good.

    Was Dusty doing the game? If he was I'm laying the blame on him.
  20. C.C.
    Oh man, no post game with Lou? This sucks! time for bed.
  21. C.C.
    I would think Schidmazaazaz(sp?) before Veal....
  22. C.C.
    Wanna bet Hill get's it done?
  23. C.C.
    For most teams it is still early, for the Cubs? Not so much.
  24. C.C.
    It's sad when the only thing I look forward to is Lou's press conference...
  25. C.C.
    I'll be shocked if he's a Cub next year...
