  1. Catcher on first and pitcher up. Ideal time for a hit and run, right?
  2. Someone gave the Cubs the wrong scouting report. This is ridiculous.
  3. Aramis is out of the lineup again due to his thumb. DL him already.
  4. .... and I suppose you would say that Atilla the Hun was rather ill mannered, eh? And Grabow is rather bad.
  5. Considering that the wind probably saved Howry from giving up a home run and a double, let's call it bronze.
  6. Don't you dare suggest that. It isn't not about playing time. It is about winning ballgames! Everyone knows that.
  7. I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but why would Lou insert Aramis right back into the cleanup spot? Were we counting on a magical recovery over the past 4 days that would suddenly solve all his problems? Clearly he wasn't an effective cleanup hitter prior to the thumb injury, so why not let him get things together lower in the order before sticking him right back in the 4 spot?
  8. Even when Ramirez is in a hitter's count, his swings are still terrible.
  9. It's going to suck for Russell when he gets undeservedly sent back to Iowa because the Cubs have too many lefties in the bullpen.
  10. Is Zambrano available today? Time to stretch that arm out big guy...
  11. exactly, dumb call maybe but that was lee's fault. Its not Lees fault his manager is a [expletive] moron who sent the runners down 5 damn runs in the 1st freaking inning. I'm not arguing the bad manager decision, but how is it not Lee's fault that he took a fastball right down the middle of the plate?
  12. Stupid play, but then again why is Lee taking strike 3 right down the middle of the plate?
  13. I was at today's game, which had an announced attendance somewhere around 33,000. With the exception of bad weather and meaningless late September games, it has been years since I've seen Wrigley Field so empty. There were quite a few no-shows on the lower level, and huge sections of open seats in the upper deck. Sure it was a Thursday afternoon game, but I was still surprised to see so many unsold tickets on a nice day against the Dodgers.
  14. Why is there such a decline in interest here, but not other sites? Where did everyone go?
  15. When Zambrano returns to the rotation in a week or so, who will go to the bullpen? According to Bruce Levine, Randy Wells is really the only option. I don't see it that way, but if the Cubs send Wells to the bullpen I am going to be very angry. I believe they really need to find a trade for Gorzellany, but they have lost any leverage by announcing that Zambrano is coming back to the rotation.
  16. Mark Grace: "Castro was running pass routes" :lol:
  17. Small sample size... Oh wait, it's almost June.
  18. Damn fine outing from Wells. It sure would be nice to get him a run here.
