It's Pigs!!

High School Musical 2 isn't nearly as good as the original.

EXACTLY what I was thinking... not real thrilled to get this game underway again now. I could just see Duncan hitting a lazy fly up into the jetstream in one of the first pitches back into the game, and watching it sail out with the wind, to tie it up - and then get more rain to suspend the game til tomorrow or some crap. wow that would be some pop up!!! weather nerd.

That's not ironic Jeanne, just coincidental. Harpie.

Illinois 24 Mizzou 7 Nice that it's on national TV, not nice that it's on the same time as ND/GT
-
Anchorwoman will be terrible in case any of you have no taste whatsoever. I'd agree with NC that I'm pretty sure that rule is only for the minors.
-
WHats up? Talking about someone who's injured(Zumaya maybe) and how badly the team wants to get him back on the roster before September so that he could play in the playoffs.
-
So anyone else hear Jeanne Zelasko be completley wrong about the playoff roster rule?

Wood hasn't looked all the great and this is a pivotal game. We've got a 3 run lead. He needs to work his kinks out so he can be a valuable part of the pen coming down the stretch. You say that like a 3 run lead is safe? not entirely, but we're facing a horrible lineup (save pujols) and it's STILL a 3 run lead. You're acting like its a tie game against the '27 yankees. And Pujols is due up second this inning So Woody can't face any good batters, even with a 3 run lead? How's he going to get his confidence? Based on the way Wood looked in his last outing, I'd prefer Piggy right now. And now it's a 2-run lead. Was I watching a different game on Wednesday?

Cause KW can only pitch when the Cubs are losing or up by 82 runs.
-
1st and 2nd, no outs, Marmol pitching, Rolen hitting
-
Reyes was throwing meatballs in the 3rd, nothing wrong with swinging 1st pitch in that case. Of course Murton popped out, so it likely wasn't a meatball he threw him there. Can we preemptively cut off the Choi/Patterson discussion, if not for me, then for the people/person following the game through this thread?

WARDDDDDDDDDDDDD
-
Lee RBI single to RF. 1st and 2nd, 2 out 1-0 Cubs
-
No they mentioned Clemens had 40 wins by the time Maybin was born.
-
(Some sort of joke about aliens cause he's short)
-
That strike 3 on Jones was right down the middle. Nicely played by Taguchi.
-
Cubs employee can't pronounce Theriot or Kendall.
-
Great scoop.
-
Dopirak was as well. And Sammy Sosa.

Would you have prefered that he not be re-signed? remember how we were all thrilled when kerry wood signed his 3 year extension? long term commitments to pitchers are risky. i hope z remains good for the duration of the contract, but i'm skeptical. if the cubs let z walk, i'd have understood. Then the alternative is never signing a pitcher to more than a 2 year deal, and then you get stuck with a piecemeal rotation every year unless you can consistently churn out starters from the minors. There is an inherent risk with all pitchers, but if you don't take the risk you have a rotation of retreads and projects and you have a 70 win team. To CFICT, late response, but is it your contention that Z has been hurt the past 2 seasons? I don't know when it began that every time a guy slumps that there is speculation that he's injured, but it seems to be really popular lately. An increase in BB rate/HR rate could mean a pitcher is injured, but it'd be pretty far down on my list of reasons for the increase.
