Weve been making some solid contact, but unfortunately that and $35 will buy you a tank of gas.
-
This reeks of one of those almost got out of it situations.
-
We could probably take the Padres without Adrian or the Royals as long as we dont face Greinke. Probably.
-
how did ramirez get thrown into that equation? In my book, and no one else agrees, but I don't like how he lopes at times. He has his shortcomings, but the fact is, if we lose him, its time to start scouting for our top 5 pick in the 2011 draft.
-
Can we please just call up Castro. to hell with his arb clock. Im sick of this twatwaffle.
-
Zs not the only pitcher out there who has a history of stumbling out the door before pulling it together a month or so down the line. Granted, Mondays game was obsenely bad, and you never want to see your best guy get smacked around that bad, especially on opening day. The sooner people just accept the fact that Z is a #2 pitcher making ace money the better off they'll be. Ive accepted the fact that he'll never be the perenial 17-20 win low/sub 3.00s ERA guy we were expecting when he signed that contract.

in '06, it was Neifi Perez In '07, it was Will Ohman In '08, it was Bob Howry in '09, it was Aaron Miles The question is, will Jeff Samardzjia stick around long enough to be 2010s representitive for all that is wrong in the world?
-
How many years did they lose by 11 :) Maybe it a good thing then. In those years, we lost opening day, and went on to forgettable postseason. This year, we get our asses handed to us on opening day, so maybe we go all the way!
-
In the end, hes basically a worse version of Kyle Farnsworth.

Opening Day post game reaction thread
Little Slide Rooter replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The team is still having trouble getting over what a clubhouse cancer Milton Bradley was. All Jeff Samardjzia could think of when he was serving up more meatballs that Maggianos on a Saturday night was Milton giving him Purple Nurples. Ryan Theriot couldnt get the image of Milton stuffing him in his locker as he was busy sucking. -
Wow, that sucked, but much like Jeff Samardjzias Cubs career hoepfully does soon, it came to a merciful end.`In the standings, a wife beating of epic proportions means the same as a 2-1 pitchers duel. It will be: Ryan Dempster 2009 11-9 3.64ERA 1.305WHIP http://chicagocubsonline.com/ryandempster-pub.jpg Vs. Jair Jurrgens 2009 14-10 2.60ERA 1.224WHIP http://www.walkoffwalk.com/pics/twoheaded.jpg (I googled his name, and this picture was on page 2) Lets beat that pink 2 headed bastard.
-
Jurrjens then Hanson, we messed up by losing today. Tall order, but its not like were facing Lincenum and Cain.
-
What are you talking about? Ty Griffin was Babe Ruth incarnate! Weve had plenty of prospects. they just dont pan out as well as we would like. Or at all. I didnt pay as much atention to the farm back then, but I remember a lot of hype surrounding C-Patt.
-
so whon the hell is pitching for the Braves Wednesday so I can get the next thread started?
-
Yeah, we might run out of the fire before August. by august we might be at 3-page game threads with fred contributing 90% of the posts. Ah the 90's. Ah, late 2009.
-
Its usually at least May before things get this heated around here.
-
yes. It's one day. And you don't change your projection about the team for one day. But that doesn't mean every time you fall back a game, your chances don't lower a little. Right, I understand. I just don't feel the need to get that worked up about it after one game. Especially since I don't think we are beating anyone all that good this year anyways. Would love to be wrong though. Were also about to be a game behind the Pirates.
-
He did give up a touchdown sans the extra point.
-
Id say send Shark to Iowa, but I like Ryne Sandberg too much.
-
[expletive] Lou, just leave him in. At least its entertinment. Whats the point exhausting the pen at this point,
-
Im assuming your joking or thats out of frustration. We scored 5 runs off a damn good pitcher. Z had an off day and Shark is Shark.
-
Atta boy Shark. I dont think that the organization will ever accept the fact that pitching aint his thing.
-
I think the worst thing that ever happened to Z is the tag of "Ace". Lets face it, hes not an ace an never will be and Im done waiting for him to become one. Sure he has ace stuff, but the footnotes of baseball history are full of guys who who had ace stuff, but for one reason or another were unable to pull it all together. Dont get me wrong, Z is a gr..., OK, hes a very good pitcher. More major league managers than not would love to have Z, Lilly, and Dempster make up the 2-4 spots in their rotation. What seperates the Cubs from a lot of the other league elite is an ace. Look at Boston, the Yankees, and the Phillies, and they all have a staff ace. If we were to get ahold of a legit ace, wed be neck and nect as the divison favs with the Cards. Unfortuantely, a legit ace isnt easy to come by, as when a team has one, they're quick to lock them up long term. My advice to whoever happens to be Cubs GM in the near future is if a Danny Haren or Zack Greinke hits the free agent market any time soon, step away from the power hitting outfielder and jump on him.
-
I cal the Cubs win 5-3 on a 3 run pinch hit home run by the chosen one.
-
That was my thought as soon as I found out that Doug Drabek had an almost major league ready kid.
