    wtg Jones, 3 walks to the previous 4 hitters, and you swing at 3 straight pitches out of the zone.

    Every team has factors that limit their ability to perform their best. Hopefully the Cubs can push through this limit to make the playoffs anyway. ...sorry, that's the best I can do for a silver lining.

    My wife and I just had this exchange during the stretch: Me: I didn't know Barry Williams could sing. Her: Don't you remember, they sang on the Brady Bunch variety hour show. Me: Exactly my point.

    One very odd thing that I noticed is that since the ASB, the Brewers and Cubs play almost the exact same schedule from that point to the end of August. Giants/D'backs, Cards/Reds, Phillies/Mets, Astros/Rockies, Giants/D'backs, then each other.

    Cubs are 2-0 since my son was born. He knows not the agony of defeat. I don't think he's ready for it yet, either.
  6. bukie
    He's doing the right thing, though, trying to unload it quickly. It's at its peak value right now.

    I still can't believe the Cubs don't have any more road games against contenders, outside of Arizona.

    Hopefully the Cubs can get through this inning without seeing Bonds again.

    Second stipulation: The returning PTBNL must not be Izturis.

    Winning does wonders to demeanor... No matter how one feels about JJ, I agree it is good to see him playing like a kid & enjoying the game. He isn't a bad guy, I think, so I hope he continues playing w/ some joy. maybe we'll get lucky in the process & he'll start producing on a semi-regular basis... I would love to see JJ catch fire for 2 weeks, hit 4-5 HRs or so, and then be rolled out to the Yankees with additional assets for A-Rod.

    Wow, Atlanta has had 22 baserunners, and only 4 have scored.

    According to the official rules: I'm not sure when they removed "pitches effectively" from the rule, but I think it's now just automatically regarded as a save.
  13. bukie
    :-s 3+ innings of relief to end the game is a save, no matter the lead.
  14. bukie
    12 runs on 10 walks today. No home runs.
  15. bukie
    Whew, I was worried the Cubs wouldn't make it to 10 runs today.

    What does our offensive production have anything to do with QS's? The only reason Z came out after 5 IP was because of the 9-0 score. A pitcher has to go 6 innings with 3 or fewer runs to get a quality start. I guess next time Lou should tell his players to stop scoring so that Z can chase a meaningless statistic. Didn't seem as if he was disapointed about it, just pointing it out, since Z had thrown 8 consecutive QS's.
  17. bukie
    Had him pegged for the Giants.
  18. bukie
    Gallagher hitting, according to gameday, so it would appear he'll go at least another inning.
  19. bukie
    What this day needs to top it off is either a JJ or Koyie HR.
  20. bukie
    5 runs on 2 hits that inning. For the Cubs.
  21. bukie
    And 4 walks score for the Cubs this inning. If only they could be this patient every game.
  22. bukie
    Base cloggers.

    From my previous post: I'm not even saying it was definitely a Zambrano-Barrett issue, just that it seemed weird that 19 of 20 Zambrano starts correlate to either pitching well without Barrett back there or pitching poorly with Barrett back there. It's the weirdest pitcher-catcher correlation I've ever seen. If there indeed was an issue, though, then obviously something had to be done to fix the "staff ace". Either tell Zambrano to suck it up, work with Barrett to figure out what's up, or trade one of them. Obviously, Hendry chose option C and dumped Barrett.

    It was only one game...but it wasn't pretty. At least he didn't strike out! :P
  25. bukie
    Again, they aren't meaningless. What I'm saying is that Zambrano had a problem with Barrett this year, and previous numbers, in that instance, are meaningless. There's no way to prove it, but if there wasn't a problem, it was an odd coincidence. If you're going to pretend that 1/2 of the season's worth of starts are meaningless, there's no reason to continue the conversation, because you've apparently already made up your mind and are unwilling to accept anything else.
