My 3 team parlay was Cubs, A's, and Astros. A's held on to win, and if the Cubs hold on, I'm going to be pissed the Astros couldn't beat Adam Eaton to net me $117. Which website do you use to place your bets? My friend placed this bet for me. He uses sports.com. When I do it myself, which I can't do until I open a checking account down here this summer (stupid new US rules making it hard as hell for me), I usually use bodog.com, but I'm trying to find other sites to see if anyone is better in terms of bonuses and stuff. How exactly do you get around the new laws? I've been trying to play poker online and no place will accept my deposits. For some reason I think Poker is a lot harder than just straight gambling. What are you trying to deposit with? I try to deposit money using my debit card. I've tried on both PartyPoker and PokerRoom. With straight gambling do the new laws not apply? Those rooms do not allow U.S. players anymore. Use Stars.

What just happened??? Is the moon turning red? Anyone?

I love that Wuertz has been used as our real "closer" so far this year. I think Lou understands that theory and has put Michael in that role.

Enjoy your 30 seconds on 2nd, Mark.

Oh, man!

AGH! Dessens! AGH!

AHHH! Why is Carlos slowing down? He's almost as deliberate as Vargas now. When he's working quickly, he stays in the right slot. $#$#!
-
Carlos is slowing way down. Not good.
-
Alright, I hope Vargas is done and we can burn through a few of their relievers.

Up 4-0 in the third inning of the first game of a series and you are already thinking sweep, huh? You must be a glass half full type. As for me, I am just hoping they Z doesn't have another epsiode and blow THIS game. Ha! That was the last drop of optimism in my body. Not sure where it came from, I thought I was tapped out after '03.
-
This is great. Getting into that bullpen now could pay dividends for the entire series. God what I wouldn't give for a sweep.
-
I think it's really important that we make Vargas work this inning (ARGH) in order to get into the bullpen early in this series.
-
ARGH! I hate it when we give the pitcher a reprieve after a tough inning. I hope the offense doesn't decide to go to sleep now.
-
He's working fast for the first time this year. I like it.

Well that didn't take long. -
I have a feeling Hendry is on the phone a lot right now.

You guys are really okay with a Floyd/Murton platoon in right? Cliff Floyd?? In right?? It may happen, but it's a scary prospect, IMO. Management wants left handed hitters in the lineup against righties, and we don't have any options in the infield, so two of Jones/Floyd/Pie are going to have to see a lot of time in the OF. This is why we hadn't seen much of Murton until Soriano went down, and it's why we won't see much of him when Alfonso returns.
-
this excludes hill, but i said it in the game thread: marquis (specifically, but lilly to an extent) reminds me of rex grossman early last season. rex threw several interceptable passes when he was doing well, the other team just wasn't catching them. later on, corners weren't dropping the ball. same thing with here. there have been more than a few fly balls that end up on waveland in july and august thrown, and it will catch up to them. hopefully not... Marquis cannot keep this up if his peripherals stay the same. It's going to be like batting practice come July, I just hope our offense is as good by then as I think it can be. P.S. TSB > Funeral, but other than that I liked your first set of albums better. :-)

I don't see how it's going to work with Murton and Soriano in the outfield. That leaves Jones as the only LH threat against righties (I'm not including Izzy, and I don't think Pinellla is either). I don't see Lou being satisfied with this, but the only other options I see are..... Floyd platoons in right (not going to happen) Soriano and Floyd platoon (not going to happen) Pie stays up and platoons with Murton (doesn't seem likely) Murton is packaged in a deal for a big LH RF. (??) This outfield situation is really giving me a headache.

4/20 Cards (Looper) vs. Cubs (Lilly), 1:20, CSN & XM-187

Say it with me... 6-4- -
I think if anyone gets moved here it's Murton. It's obvious that Lou doesn't like Soriano + Murton in the outfield against RH pitchers, as it leaves him just one lefty plus Izturis in the lineup. This is the reason we haven't seen much of Murton until Soriano went down, IMO. It's an unfortunate situation, but I really don't see the cubs giving up Jones or Floyd unless they are sure Pie is ready, and I don't see a way for Murton to get many AB's against RHP with Soriano on the team. My guess is we see Matt traded for a LH bench player and a prospect by May 31st.

Not to be a pessimist, but you just know what Barrett's going to do....
-
Just watching the team's approach at the plate this year gives me comfort. With such a small sample size, I think we're just experiencing the variance that comes with it.

It was the birds. I was telling my girlfriend the cubs would turn things around when they appeared.
