  1. Then its their fault. This is solely about today's game and thus belongs in today's game thread. If you choose to not read the game thread then so be it, but don't start a thread about something already being discussed in the game thread. Sir, yes Sir! By the way, lots of stuff gets discussed in game threads and in other threads on this board.
  2. maybe. but why is zambrano wearing a sombrero? Because that is what his countrymen wear? http://www.hollow-hill.com/sabina/images/chavecito-sombrero.jpg
  3. If you give guys days off over several days, you reduce your chances to win on each of those days. If you have them all rest at once, you only reduced your chances to win one game, and it's a game you had a strong chance to lose anyway, even if they all started.
  4. Soto's would have to be something along the lines of, "Soto does not have a job."
  5. Over the course of a 162 game season, you have to be willing to lose a game or two, losing the battle to preserve your ability to win the war. You can't throw out your best every day. It's very likely that a substantial portion of those losses are going to come against the opposition's ace. When you write up the schedule, whenever you have your 5th facing their ace, you are going to chalk up a loss in that game. If you lose to Lincecum, so be it. But you really don't want to lose to the 5th starters of the world. You want to take advantage of every one of those opportunities.
  6. How is that your concern after seeing the play? Amazingly enough, I can multitask with the best of them. I can have concern over Ankiel hitting the wall AND have concern for why it is considered an out, all at the same time. I just don't get how you were able to get so worked up about that being called an out.
  7. Fontenot is the one that goes to shortstop? That's surprising.
  8. Lou Piniella sent me a crisp dollar bill on my birthday.
  9. Why is the Bobby Scales callup front page news on espn.com?
  10. That shirt has been lambasted in many places, including this message board.
  11. Okay, now that I've seen it much slower I see it. Yes, it's clear.
  12. He caught it with two hands, took a few steps, and then the ball clearly came out when his glove hit the wall. Who needs a telescopic camera lens? It seems pretty clear. He had already transferred the ball from his glove to his throwing hand. The ball was in his left hand when he hit the wall. There's no doubt about it. I have my doubts. He puts his hand in the glove, but after watching it repeatedly I don't see the ball in his bare hand on impact. It's unclear if it falls out of his glove or if it falls out of his hand.
  13. How is that your concern after seeing the play?
  14. And they have all received far more attention than this one has received. I hadn't heard much of anything about this performance until this thread was created.
  15. I saw Lebron's mom at the MVP press conference yesterday and she looked like she just bought coke.
  16. I just clicked on the article on the front page of this site and it turns out they asked her to sing since she was going to be at Wrigley with a booth about raising awareness to fight kidney cancer. She is a local celebrity, not exactly a stretch, given all the other people that have done it.
  17. Why on earth do you want to give Theriot a day off now? 3 HR's in 4 games? Let the guy play while he's hot. I don't know, but Lou said he was probably going to get today off. Then he said they would give multiple guys a day off, so maybe that was him catching himself about Theriot.
  18. So Venezuelans aren't good enough to mow your lawn?
  19. Everytime anybody sings it "uniquely" they get discussed after the fact. In the game thread I thought I heard somebody say she was reading the words to the song. I haven't seen any out of the norm "flak", but I did notice the top headline on NSBB's main page says she will never do it again.
  20. They already have 5 outfielders in Iowa......what roster need was he filling?Maybe Scales. He was called up today to fill Zambrano's roster spot until Wells is called up for Friday's game. I'd think Scales would go back down then. I would think there is at least a chance that Gathwright is the one who leaves on Friday. I can't believe they went a month without a 2nd backup middle infielder. And now that their only 3 guys have played for like 2 weeks straight I would think Lou would tire of the situation.
  21. http://blogs.dailyherald.com/blog/18
  22. Maybe on a straight speed basis, but what about baserunning? He looked pretty confused out there.
  23. Sounds like some media in the postgame interview with Lou. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/1556625,CST-SPT-cub04.article Well, I think there is a big difference between media members asking Lou if he would rather have seen Zambrano not bunt, or if he was disappointed that Zambrano did bunt, than somebody coming out and straight up cricizing the play. It's a legit question.
  24. Where is this criticism coming from?
