    There is something to be said for not inserting Z into what will be a charged atmosphere here on Friday night. Let him pitch on Thursday in sleepy Houston. With all the energy of the rivalry and the Cards' last chance to stay in the race, I'm afraid Z will fizzle. At the same time, Z's numbers against the Cards are pretty fantastic. Getting him a start against them might help get him locked back in.

    When a game is PPD before reaching the 5-inning mark, the whole game is scrapped and started from scratch at a later date. A game is only resumed in progress if it was suspended, not postponed. Why wasn't this game suspended? Because it wasn't yet an official game. Wouldn't a game just be called if it was an official game? A game is only suspended when the home team gives up the lead in the top of the inning after at least 5 full innings have been played and then weather doesn't allow them to have the bottom of the inning to "respond." Z's game never made it through 5 innings, so it essentially doesn't exist.

    I listened to part of the game on the radio and it sounded as if the fans were chanting "H-G-H" every time Ankiel stepped to the plate. It doesn't surprise me that a guy who had "mental problems" and suddenly couldn't throw strikes would now buckle under the pressure of the controversy. Yeah, pretty much just boo's and "H-G-H" and "cheeeeeeeeeeaterrrrrrr" a la "Daaaaaaaaarrrrrrryllllll" and then thunderous appluase and cheers when he'd strike out. A lovely symphony.

    How were the fans regarding HGH? Please tell me it was very loud there and they gave him hell Heh, we got there a little before 1, just before the Cardinals started practicing on the field, and as soon as he showed up the bleachers were giving him hell. During the game everyone around me was screaming "H-G-H!!!" in my section for his first 2 AB's...we were the second section back by the end of the Cubs dugout towards the bullpen, so I can only hope a lot of others were doing the same. With his last 2 AB's both of his k's got semi-standing ovations, especially the 4th one. Since this wasn't a series there were a LOT less Cardinals fans than usual, so the atmosphere the whole time was a lot of fun. Yea thats great. It would have been awesome if the fans would have given him one of those standing O's that the Cards fans have been giving him after every single damn HR. It was nice for once being at a Cards/Cubs game at Wrigley where the few breaks the Cards got weren't cheered on by a sizeable crowd. The few hits and runs they got were met with a ton of boos.

    Backe is a righty. Thank you, Jeebus.

    wasn't that excited about the signing, but ever since spring training and actually getting to watch him pitched I've liked him more and more. He's been like a rock (with a few exceptions) this season.

    Seeing Ankiel strike out 4 times tonight in person was so sweet. The bleachers were giving him the business from batting practice onwards, and I was talking to my uncle before the game about how his increasing strikeouts and lack of walks were indicative of how his current swell would likely fall off once everyone "figures him out." I hope this is the start of the end of the "Ankiel era."
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Ace or not, I love that Lilly is a Cub.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Is Backe a lefty? I dread Old Car in the juice box, but hey, maybe he'll pull another miracle out of his butt. Make some momentum, you bums! The next hot streak starts HERE!
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Come on, Pirates. Your bats are freakishly hot and the Brewers stink on the road...get us back in the top spot!

    Wow. I just got home from this (couldn't stay out...cut classes for these last minute tickets, so I gotta make up for it by actually doing my damn homework), and man, I have not been this happy seeing the Cubs in a while. Yeah, I've seen them a dozen or so times live this season, but this is the first one that really just "felt" so great. The atmosphere around the ballpark before and after was just so much fun, and during it felt like we were winning the whole damn thing. I really just hope they can turn this one game into some kind of momentum for the next 2-3 weeks. I know it wasn't really dramatic, but short of THE miracle happening, this was my favorite "live" Cubs game this year. Thanks, boys.

    Wow, no Floyd.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Lee, Ramirez, Floyd and Ward have 11 combined HRs against Morris Lee is batting .357 off him while Ramirez is at .349 Soriano is also 4-6 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Floyd doesn't even hit it out of the infield when he gets the start. I'd rather start Ward.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    It was a good start, but he still walked 5 guys and had to be saved from a serious jam at the end. He did much better than he had been doing, but better teams will make us pay for stuff like that.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Fixed.

    Stellar work, Dempster. CUBS WIN!
  20. Sammy Sofa
    I can't wait until he's in CF fulltime.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    FELIX PIE.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Thank you.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Do it to it, Demp. Sit down Rat Boy.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Let me guess, that's in reference to the sudden color change from red to green on the broadcast? Yeah, it was quite festive. I did a jig. I drank excessively.

    Brewers have runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out in the top of the 8th.
