Z38Cubs

Looks like you have $40.80 coming your way.

Aurilia 4th and Kearns 7th. Thank you Jerry Narron.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=gallo/060403_april Pretty funny stuff here. Some of my favorites. April 10 -- Cardinals center fielder Jim Edmonds christens the new Busch Stadium in his own special way by diving needlessly for a routine fly ball in St. Louis' home opener. May 11 -- New St. Louis pitcher Sidney Ponson takes a 250-mile trip to Kansas City on a Cardinals off-day where he discovers barbecue ribs. He returns to the team five days later weighing 580 pounds. May 19 -- With the Cubs visiting U.S. Cellular Field to play an interleague series against the White Sox, the defending champs get their first home sellout of the season. May 21 -- With manager Frank Robinson asleep in the dugout again during an afternoon game, Alfonso Soriano changes the lineup card, putting himself at second for the Nationals and Jose Vidro in left. June 11 -- Chicago White Sox players admit that after a full season with him, and despite his role in helping them win a World Series ring, they're starting to hate A.J. Pierzynski now, too, just like everyone else. June 29 -- Strolling through St. Louis on an off day, Cardinals pitcher Sidney Ponson gets jammed in the Gateway Arch and is freed only after he eats off one of his love handles. July 22 -- While the Cubs have a scheduled off-day, White Sox starter Mark Buehrle pitches a perfect game against the Rangers, but it's not enough to get the White Sox their first-ever appearance on the front page of the Chicago sports sections August 21 -- A strike by a local beer distributor leaves Wrigley Field without beer for one game, forcing 40,000 Cubs fans to watch a game sober and realize for the first time that they've been watching some pretty awful baseball over the past 100 years. August 22 -- Before a game in Seattle, Yankees center fielder Johnny Damon asks Mariners starter Jamie Moyer how he is able to throw the ball with such velocity. September 18 -- White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski creates a MySpace page in hopes of getting some friends for the first time in his life.

My prediction: Cubs win 4-3, as all 3 of the Reds' runs come off Javier Valentin solo home runs. I think his career OPS against the Cubs is 4.999.

That last slider he struck out Derek Bell on is the sickest pitch I have ever seen.

Is there any doubt that Miles is going to have a Tony Womack 2004 season with the Cardinals?

"Yeah, it just kind of glazed," Gathright said. "He hits like a woman." Awesome.

3rd year in a row that Nevada screws me over. And of course I changed my 'Bama pick to Marquette the day before.

My first thought when the brackets came out was that Tennessee and Winthrop were 3 seeds from where they actually should be, so I actually consider this more of a 5-12 matchup. Many other people obviously have the same thought, as I have never seen a 15 seed get picked more than Winthrop, and they sure are holding their own right now.

I have heard of it, and a guy on cardstalk did kind of a review of it. According to the book Lee is very average over the last 3 years he is actually right behind Darrly Ward for 1st baseman. While Pujols is 3rd for 1st baseman over the last 3 years. Any defensive system that has Derrek Lee behind an uncoordinated blob like Daryle Ward loses all credibility and should be laughed at by all baseball fans.

There is no denying that Frank Thomas is an idiot, but Jesus Christ, do Ozzie Guillen or Kenny Williams ever just keep their mouths shut? Is it really necessary to come out and say that? Boy, I hope these clowns come crashing down to earth this year, I don't think I can take another year of this.

My Favorite Carlos moment was the night he homered off Wade Miller to tie the game. He ran around the bases in about 12 seconds flat and swore at himself the whole time. Also, drilling Edmonds twice in 1 game is about as good as it gets. I'm pretty sure 99 percent of Cub fans would die for a chance to drill that sissy with two 98 MPH fastballs. I Love you Z.

Welcome to the board! What game is that avatar from? Thanks for the welcome. It was September 27th, 2004, a victory over the Reds and the last bit of joy we experienced before the disaster that was the final week of that season.

I'm pretty sure this just proves that Carlos Zambrano is not only the greatest pitcher of all time, but in fact, He is the greatest human being to ever live.
