    Tied for the ML lead in wins! Angels up just 2 in the loss column after tonight.

    Welcome to the 2008 Cubs, Daryle Ward. Zambrano didn't have crap, but he really did a great job limiting the damage.
  3. rawaction
    Why no Fukudome? Starting to heat up. A lefty tomorrow, so Johnson will likely get a start then too.

    I hope not, Cubs are 0-3 this season in games where Zambrano homers. How did Z pitch in those games? I know he sucked in the last one, but I'm betting the other 2 losses weren't his fault. 6 1/3, 7 hits, 1 ER vs. Milwaukee. Kerry blew it by giving up 3 in the 9th. 6 IP, 6 hits, 6 BBs, 4 ERs vs. Houston. Cubs only run was the Zambrano solo HR. And then that last one.

    It's not that they just threw at Soriano for posing after HRs. Hudson threw at him last year, simply because he hit 3 HRs in the series opener and I believe 1 more the next day. That's why Lilly threw at Renteria. And how come he doesn't address the Renteria forearm to Fontenot? The Cubs never got a chance to retaliate from that. The Cubs never retaliated from Soriano's broken hand. And then the Braves started it up again this series. They already had ill feelings toward Soriano, and anything he did was just an excuse to throw at him again.

    What's the word for next week? I wouldn't mind giving Harden a break. Marquis and Lilly can go on 5 days rest Tues/Wed vs. Cincy. Z on 5 days rest Thursday. Then you can throw Harden and Dempster in there any way you like.

    8 in a row on the road. 2 straight road sweeps.
  9. rawaction
    Veal, Hernandez, and Huseby need to pitch better.

    Would love Huff for the stretch run. Would not like Huff for $8Mil next year. I don't know how tradeable he would be in the offseason.

    He's been disappointing and should probably be a long-term concern. However, he's not hurting this team. He typifies the lineups "good most everywhere with no superstars" makeup. Yes, I'd prefer he do more, but he's almost 33 and pretty much producing in-line with his career. The trend doesn't look good right now, and hopefully he picks it up a bit soon. Exactly. He had the great 2005. Wasted 06. And last year hit for an abnormally high average for him. Lee is the player he was with the Marlins or early on with the Cubs. If he gets any worse though, it will become a huge concern. But I think surrounded Soto, Fukudome, Soriano, and Ramirez who should all maintain or improve in the next few years, Lee isn't a huge issue.

    This is probably the correct order right now.

    Perfect scenario would be Cubs rough up Glavine get him out of there after 4-5. Get into the Braves pen again, and Lilly go 7 or 8 strong innings. I'd imagine no Cotts or Samardzija for the Cubs. Bobby Cox is senile, so I don't imagine any of the guys that threw multiple innings for them yesterday (Bennett, Nunez, Bueno, Carlyle) will be off limits. Cubs should win this game, which is good since nobody else in the majors can beat the Brewers.

    I'd rather less Hoffpauir in this forum, more in Game Threads or Cubs Discussions.

    Colvin at .353/.382/.667 for the month of August.
  16. rawaction
    Groundballs are most impressive to me.
  17. rawaction
    NO mention of the Smokies 19 runs yet? Colvin 3 for 6 Mark Reed 5 for 6 with 5 RBIs. Fuld 3 for 6 Deeds 3-5 Spears 4-6.
  18. rawaction
    Not if the starters pitch well and go deep into games.
  19. rawaction
    Who cares what number a starter Marquis is? Just because he's better (which hasn't been proven) than the worst guy on other teams doesn't make it any better. He's not compared to whoever happened to start the 5th game of the season for his team. He's compared to the rest of the pitchers in the league. And compared to the rest of the pitchers in the league, he's in the middle of the pack...AT BEST.

    I hate the idea of baseball "purity" and "integrity". A game that has a history of players and coaches gambling and fixing the outcomes of games. A game that has a history of racism and not allowing some of the best players to play it at the highest level. A game that turned a blind eye to years of drug use. A game that has made playing fields the size of my backyard. Baseball is about as pure as a 90 mph slider.

    Ahh, good times. Was that the day Rob Mackowiak's kid was born and he celebrated by beating the Cubs to death? That sucked. ??? We won both of those games. The Mackowiak disaster was in 2004, I believe. Doh. I quoted the wrong one.

    Ahh, good times. Was that the day Rob Mackowiak's kid was born and he celebrated by beating the Cubs to death? That sucked. I was at Game 1 of the Cards DH in 2003. Sosa with a walkoff. I think 90% of the Cubs team almost hit walkoffs in that game. I got home just in time to see the Alfonseca belly bump in the 2nd game. That bad call prevented a 5-game series sweep by the Cubs.

    CBS sportsline's headline says: Indians flip Byrd to Boston. That's why sportswriters get the big bucks, folks!

    Sheff has consistently been an A-hole no matter where he's been. I respect him for not changing.
