    Put me down as someone who now wants the Cubs to lose as many as possible, so that Hendry's ample rear is shown the door by the new owners.

    Someone put the Surgeon General's warning on the next three weeks.

    Hey, Khemennu, better change that number of yours to 19.

    Ballplayes are like hookers. They're at their best when they just shut up and produce for the money they're getting.

    In Zambrano's case, cheering may actually hurt him since he tends to get too pumped up. Maybe if the fans hadn't been cheering so loudly for some of the 3-2 counts, he would have been able to control his emotions enough to throw the third strike, thereby not giving up nearly as many runs today. I vote for the next game to be played in a vaccum. You actually make a point on my behalf. There are baseball players like Zambrano who allow themselves to get pumped by cheering and addled when booed. They absolutely exist. And they also happen to be streaky performers who I don't have a whole lot of respect for.

    'Mental little people'?

    True, and fans should also know that cheering won't help a player either. The effect of the crowd on the performance of athletes, at least in baseball, isn't all that much.

    Bottom line is that players shouldn't be affected by cheering or booing. They need to understand that it's a release of emotion ONLY. Certainly, cheering and booing will be directed it at a particular individual - but it is not meant as discussion or dialogue. It's a reflexive expression in and of itself, the same as a person saying "yuck" when drinking sour milk or making a "yummy" noise when biting into a juicy steak. Any player or fan that believes there's some kind of connect that exists between themselves, and that cheering/booing is some form of interpersonal communication between fan and player, is kidding themselves.

    We ARE ND! They're the most over-hyped over-ranked team almost every year since Knut Rockney. +1

    Marshall spits the bit. In a related story, the sky is still blue and water is wet.

    Let's hope Kendall is the type of guy that feels shame when he lets down the team and comes out the next day ready to take smart at-bats.

    It seemed like the DBax knew what was coming, what with the runners going on the previous pitches. Valverde used Kendall's anxiousness against him by throwing a pitch outside, knowing that Kendall would chase. If Kendall wasn't caught up in the moment then he takes that pitch for ball four and the Cubs have bases loaded and no outs.

    Props to whoever said Pagan crapped the bed out there in CF.

    Is colitis the same thing they used to call "the piles"?

    I'm treating this year as I did in 1998 -- hoping for luck that the Cubs squeak into the playoffs. The rest of '07 will depend on the Brewers hitting an extended patch of ice, and unfortunately that kind of thing is completely out of the Cub players' and fans' control. Lately this team has been so frustrating for me to watch that I'll tune into the game midway through just to check the score, then do the same for the Brewers game. Then I'll check the final scores later that evening. I hope this doesn't mean I'm a bandwagoner. The way I rationalize it, I'm saving my sanity by avoiding all the runners left in scoring position, the bullpen walks, bobbled balls in the outfield, etc.. I know I'll enjoy actually watching an entire game a lot more if/when the Cubs have a roster with better talent, an offensive mindset thoroughly grounded in OBP, and prospects that are both ready-to-go and given an honest chance.

    Its kind of odd how you reappear in game threads once the Cubs start losing again. You just magically disappeared while the Cubs were winning, thats odd. Jeff's middle name is "Toot My Own".

    Would help if you better explained the correlation between Lou and how badly the Cubs are doing of late...

    .....yawn.....

    Exactly Ryan was "benched" to get his swing back because Lou said his bat was getting slow. Not because of him being in the doghouse like Cedeno, Murton, Pie. It seems as if once a young player gets in Lous doghouse there is no coming out of it, but a Veteran gets his chance to work his way out of it. Cedeno wouldnt be on the team if Lou didn't want him. Pie wasn't in the doghouse he didn't hit. We will have to agree to disagree, because him being here means nothing. It was the most logical choise with how Ronny was hitting, and how much Izturis sucked. There's gonna be a problem, then, if Lou buries Pie in the doghouse and Hendry continues to say Pie's untouchable in trade discussions.

    Petition to nuke Bristol, CT please.

    This is why part of me hopes they go completely in the crapper and finish 10+ in back of Milwaukee, so Hendry getting fired becomes more of a possibility.

    Question: at what point does all this stealing become rubbing it in? Maybe it's me but when you're up 4-0 in the 6th and Eyre is pitching then it's a blowout.
