Little Slide Rooter

If someone wants to get fired up for the right reasons, that is fine, but showing up probably the most respected player on the team is another story. Nothing positive can come out of that and no it isn't nice to see. It makes things interesting for the first time in a while. Its not going to help the team by any means,not the 2010 team, but it could cause a chain reaction. Z being traded. Others being traded. Lou being fired. Hendry being fired. Im not saying its going to happen that way, but it could, and for that reason, Im very interested in what happend next.

The only reason Lou should be embarassed is because Z did what Lou hasnt done all year and acted like he gave a damn. Yea thats the why the Cubs have been losing, is because they dont give a damn. Ya thats it.... Review the sentence and show me the part where I said The Cubs dont give a damn. Ok let me revise my sentence. Yea thats why the Cubs have been losing, because LOU doesnt give a damn. Ya thats it...... And then go back and tell me where it says that LOU not giving a damn is why the Cubs are losing. The Cubs are losing because the 2 hitters theyve counted on over the past 6 years have stopped producing. There are many other reasons, but the colapse in the offense starts with Lee and Ramirez.

The only reason Lou should be embarassed is because Z did what Lou hasnt done all year and acted like he gave a damn. Come on man, give me a break. Z acted like a moron. Publically calling out teammates is not something that anyone should do (especially someone who has been basically horrendous all year). I dont agree with the circumstances, no. The defense is really not what should be unter fire here. Its just good to see an explosion of some kind. Z lost that game himself in the 1st, and it was clear we werent coming back with 1 out in the botto of the 1st. Still, after all of Lous "what can you do" and "Im out of answers" crap IM glad somebody just lost it on them, even if was a guy whose been a bug part of the problem. Its just nice to see somone get fired up.

Z will be traded. We'll end up with a terrible player with a terrible contract in return. Hopefully it somes full circle and results in Lou and Hendry being fired. You better believe that Ricketts is taking note here.

We all remember the last time the Cubs suspended a player.

Ill take Freddi Gonzalez and to a lesser extent Trammel or Brenley way over Ryno.

As much as many want Z gone, its going to really suck when we send him to the Mets for Oliver Perez and absorb 80% of his contract. But then again, if it spells the end of Lou and Jim in the process, it might be worth it.

When Castro came up Lou said that Fontenot would continue to be the backup at SS because they wanted Theriot to become fully acclimated at 2B without switching back and forth. Good thing that Lou will be gone after this year at the latest, otherwise, this could spell the beginning of Castros journey to Baltimore for a PTBNL.

Hopefully in the sense that it makes them realise that its time to burn this joke of a team to the ground.

Lee seemed to just stand there and take Z's yelling. I especially appreciated Stone's comment about Lee not being like Barrett. That brought back some happy memories. The fun part about this whole debacle has yet to come. The same fans who've been whining and crying about Lou Piniella not showing any fire, not caring, and not screaming at anyone for their poor performances will be all over Zambrano for this. Imagine if it was Lou instead of Z, what would people be saying instead? They would be saying, "I wonder how Lou pulled that off without falling over dead?" Lou just wants the season to be over so he can move on to some kind of office job with the Yankees.

This is just beyond embarrasing now. The White Sox may as well be the '37 Yankees, and the Cubs, well, the 2010 Cubs.

I hope you're not counting on much from the Bears Even when the Bears are mediocre or bad, they keep me entertained. When the Cubs are terrible, only little Z-splosions like today's are even remotely interesting. Hopefully things get interesting soon when they trade everything they can.

meh, these guys need someone to go ape [expletive] on them. Do bad hedidnt start throwing gator aid coolers at them.

Sweep away Sox, but dont blame the Cubs when your stuck with the Curse of the BP Cup.

What happened? Persoanlly, as far as Im concerned they can both go.

Well, probably not the case at all, but ok. It would sure seem that way, no? In what way do the White Sox have a better lineup or rotation than us on paper? They have a better rotation on paper. But not by much. Yeah, Id take Peavy over Z in a heartbeat. Tough call between Lilly/Demp and Buerhle/Danks at the 2-3 spots. SIlva/Floyds also a tough call. Silva has been brilliant this year, and Floyd got off to a very rough start but has been lights out for the past month. Id take Freddy Garcia as a number 5 over Wells, but Id probably take Gorzo over Garcia.

Well, probably not the case at all, but ok. It would sure seem that way, no? In what way do the White Sox have a better lineup or rotation than us on paper? They dont on paper, but if the Sox top 2 hitters over the past 5 years decided to compltely shut down for almost the first half of the season, they probably wouldnt be on a 9, about to be 10 game win streak.

Well, probably not the case at all, but ok. Right now, the Cubs just dont deserve to share a city with the White Sox.

Hes one of those Augie Ojeda/Craig Counsell/Aaron Miles/Jeff Keppinger types who the Cubs can never get out. Great point. His career .264 .301 .342 .642 line in 436 PA against the Cubs show that he's a force to be reckoned with. Keppinger: .252 .299 .273 .571 in 155 PA. Augie: .243 .333 .243 .577 in 43 PA. Counsell is the only one that comes even remotely close to being a guy they can "never get out", and that's with a line of .256 .362 .379 .740 in 356 PA, so yeah, these guys all suck and nowhere near being "Cub killers." But the reason people think of them as "Cub killers" is because they remember the two or three big hits they got against the Cubs. They don't remember the multitude out of outs they have all made against the Cubs. Right, and there's a gigantic difference between that and being someone that the Cubs can "never get out" or have trouble facing. I never called them Cub killers more like pests, and yes, weve gotten them out more often than not, but it just feels like we can never get them out. Its not even usually that big base hit, it just feels like they come up with a singe every time they come up against us, usually meaningless. Except Keppinger, it seems like hes beaten us on multiple occasions with both the Reds and Astros. Im sure there are a lot of teams out there who feel the same way about our little pest, Ryan Theriot. Im msure those teams fans feel the same way about them as we do about Theriot to, aside from maybe Wilson whose a great defensive player. And dont forget that Indians SS or 2B from last year whose name eludes me. He hit 3 home runs in that series vs. The Cubs, and I dont think hed ever hit 1 before and probably not since.

CUBS WIN A GAME! CUBS WIN A GAME! OH MY GOD THE CUBS WIN A GAME!!! Now on to The Cell where we might win another but probably wont.

Here comes Gorzo to out goofy looking them both by a mile.
