    My favorite part of the game was when Colvin pinch hit for Gorzelanny and Len went out of his way to say he liked the move. It was noteworthy because if Len is as intelligent as he portrays himself to be, he hasn't liked much of [expletive] anything that senile old bastard has done the last two months.

    That, and 2 World Series rings.

    It's stupid. Not only is Z more valuable as a starter, but banishing him to the pen reduces his trade value. It's petty and obtuse on multiple levels, and only works against the best interests of the team. There is no franchise in baseball that will let stupid petty garbage get between them and doing what's best for themselves like the Cubs. This is the third player in six years they've done this with. I suppose they should be counting their lucky stars that the last two times have turned out as well as they have, between getting a moderately useful backup infielder and a miraculous turnaround year out of a pitcher for the players they nuked bridges with.

    Tyler Colvin is tied for the team lead in home runs. And that was another lefty.

    I would love for any Cub to be having the season Konerko or Alex Rios are having. God forbid.

    He was supposed to go to church and light candles and pray for forgiveness for his transgressions.

    Back to the pen, huh? Further proof that this organization doesn't know what in holy hell it's doing. Randy Wells should go to Iowa in favor of Gorzelanny.
  8. Andy
    More likely he'll just spew more platitudes and "what do you want me to do"s. I'm just ready for this team to be done. A little over 2 months til football.

    Slight nitpick: The Barrett thing (at least, the Z/Barrett thing) happened at Wrigley, against Atlanta. The Barrett/Pierzynski thing happened at the Cell. Man, we've had a lot of fights/outbursts the last half-dozen or so years, haven't we?

    And I like Derrek Lee but he's rapidly approaching Ryan Theriot level "casual fans like me for being nice to the press so I think I'm the spokesman for the team and everyone just ignore that I am sucking at baseball this year" annoyance. He's been Z's teammate for how long? If he was the patient wonderful guy he paints himself to be, maybe he'd have just let Z rant instead of reacting the way he did.

    The fact that Jim Hendry's fat worthless ass could sit up on that podium sneering about Zambrano, admit that he lied about the reason Z got moved to the pen (a move that absolutely was a match in the powder keg that was this mess) and act like the voice of reason in all this is yet another reason he needs to get the hell out of here. If we can suspend our hothead pitcher indefinitely, I say we can suspend our incompetent GM who took the highest payroll this side of [expletive] Boston and New York and created an incompetent team of overpaid, undertalented, over-the-hill or not-ready-yet losers and suspend his ass indefinitely too.

    they beat a bad team in 13 innings with that lineup, can't change it. A 2nd day off in a row after a cross-country flight with another day game isn't the worst thing, I guess.
  13. Andy
    And Tracy DFA, thank God.
  14. Andy
    Judging by that quote, probably just roster filler.
  15. Andy
    2 Cards fans in the top 3. Ugh.
  16. Andy
    I haven't seen a lot of Favors but I think I like Cousins better provided he doesn't land in a crappy situation like Golden State. I also don't get the Wes Johnson hype.
  17. Andy
    The ESPN report says the Kings are ready to make a similar deal if the Wizards back out, but all reports are that the Wiz will make the deal. I love it. We wouldn't likely get anyone good at 17 and Hinrich is mediocre and overpaid. Even if we didn't land a big fish this is a good deal.

    Pretty funny I don't know, seems classless to me. Not able to watch, What did Brenly say? He had a quick 4 or 5 pitch at bat and Brenly seemed like he was rushing to get in his digs. Len mentioned it was odd that he was getting more boos than cheers at home (Cubs fans booing) and Brenly said something to the effect of they haven't gotten to know him yet. Then said something about a Seattle restaurant with a special sandwich that costs whatever Bradley's average is at the time. We get it Bob, you think he is a jerk. It just seems so personal with him, like he takes pleasure in calling him out. Not professional at all IMO. Brenly's treatment of Bradley (like most of the Chicago media) has been and is ridiculous. To a lesser extent, Soriano. And some want him managing this team.

    Oh look, Tyler Colvin just hit a homer off a Cy Young-winning lefty.
  20. Andy
    It shouldn't add more pressure, but there's no doubt that it does. The crowd, the players, they all seemed to have the wind torpedoed out of them the minute that Loney slam left the yard in Game 1 in 2008.
  21. Andy
    Slightly higher pitch with a "this is interesting" tone? That's the one.
  22. Andy
    Maybe I'm reading too much into Len, but I feel like he has a slightly different tone of voice when he's relaying a piece of information he thinks is really stupid. He used that tone of voice when talking about Colvin leading off.
  23. Andy
    So we move on if we beat Algeria by multiple goals, no matter what happens. If we beat Algeria by 1, we just need England/Slovenia to not end in a draw. England/Algeria is pretty much moot except that if they draw with Algeria, it becomes conceivable for the U.S. to advance even if they tie Algeria too.
  24. Andy
    That's even more comical. Edu didn't even do anything besides kick the ball into the net.
  25. Andy
    Better him than Theriot. The way Soriano is playing I almost wish we'd just put him back at the top.
