Re: 5/25 Cubs (Lilly) @ Pirates (Maholm) 12:35 PM WGN

If we lose this series, and hey, we probably will, I'll have lost all faith in our ability to win on the road. -
How are the White Sox so soap dropping unstopable?

Wait a minute. When Buerhle is on? It's easy to say that at his best a guy is better than somebody else is at their non-best. But come on here, Buerhle/Vazquez are not more solid than Zambrano/Lilly. Zambrano has been the most consistently good pitcher of that group, while the rest of the three have had their ups and downs. I think they are. I say when Buehrle is on because he tends to be inconsistent, but not on a start to start basis, but a half season to half season sort of basis (don't have the stats handy, but this is what I've noticed). I think bar none Vazquez is better than Lilly. So together, if Buehrle is throwing well, I would take them over Z and Lilly. You are right though, Zambrano is easily the most talented off the 4 pitches. Try and justify it all you want, but when you compare guys by using one pitcher's "on" stats vs another pitcher's average stats, it's completely bogus. It doesn't matter though. If created a fictitious world where Buehrle was "on" (for instance like first half '07), I would take him and Vazquez over Z and Lilly. When Z is "on" he's unspeakably better than Buehrle. It makes up for the difference between Lilly and Vazquez. -
Hey, Valverde didn't do anything obnoxious. Shocking.

CB BUCKNOR I HATE YOU!
-
Nice work, Ascanio.
-
It's actually spelled Ascanio Wow I can't read....Ruined my evil plot Yeah I completely missed your sarcasm. Green text would've helped. Green text NEVER helps.
-
It was fun to have Soriano be good for a while.
-
He's clearly pitching around Micah to get to the now ice cold Soriano.
-
Come on Hoff. Prove something.
-
I hate this guy.
-
How about you do something worthwhile with the bat, Jimmy?
-
I'm excited to see what Ascanio has to offer.
-
Your standards are quite high. ugh everyone nitpicks what i post down to the word who cares Only you, too.
-
Why can Sampson just mow us down?
-
Dempster doesn't look all that bad.
-
And Soriano sucks again. Can't wait for the next hot streak.
-
That is reason that it's not the Cubs game to win.
-
Damn it.
-
I smell a double play for no reason in particular.
-
Bad luck right there.
-
Ick. Don't give up the lead already.
-
Power's back!
-
At least Sampson won't be able to pitch too long with how many pitches he's throwing.
-
Come on Soto, you're better than that.
-
Jeeze. That's amazing. When is the draft?
