Does Soriano get nailed now? -
I'm pretty sure that pitch was pretty close to Lee's wrist and I'm pretty sure he missed most of the year last year with a broken wrist It hit his wrist I think. Good thing Lee punched with his right hand (his left one was broken correct?).
-
Are we sure that ARam is back on Thursday? I heard rumors his injury is worse than thought.
-
Lee was dumb today. He seemed to get mat at Z after the Barrett fight. He should have just taken his base.
-
Man the defense stinks
-
Might depend on what Lee thought Young said
-
Z is away with everything now
-
You are right, but he never tagged Theriot after that. But the ump already made the call.
-
THE CATCHER NEVER GOT HIM WITH HIS MITT!
-
Lee has to appeal this until ARam gets back
-
When Lee got hit I just turned it on. It was the first pitch I saw.
-
I didn't see it. What did he do?
-
Soriano did it in a way. I doubt Young was throwing at Derek. On an 0-2 count?
-
Where was the Catcher in all this? I can't believe nobody walked down the first base line with Lee. He was talking to the ump. That ump has to be in between them. What was he doing?
-
How long will Lee be suspended? 5 games?
-
I really got to give it to Marcus Giles for getting Young out of the way. Nice work.
-
Derek wouldn't have gone after him if Young just said that.
-
Z don't hit anyone. Soriano, stop showboating. We don't need anymore players out now that we are playing good. This is not about sending messages. This is about winning baseball games. I think Lee asked Young if he did that on purpose. Young probably said and I was going for your wrist. Lee said, "You did what?" Then it all went down.

He currently sports a .920 OPS (even after the 2 dingers tonight) and his previous high was .911 and his career OPS is .840. Basically, that means he's likely to regress (esp. over the last few years of the 8 year contract)... and anything less than a 1.000 OPS for 136 mil isn't worth it. So, no, he's not likely to be worth every cent (and wouldn't be even if he kept this same level of production up over the next 8 years) While he won't be able to continually progress, whose to say that he won't be able to get better this year and for a few years to come. The Cubs still overpaid by abut 20 million for him.

When you are a lefty switch hitter and a lefty is brought into the game from the pen to face you, why does it automatically turn hitters around? Hitters who are much better hitters as lefties are forced by their own doing to hit right handed. Is is true that lefty hitters who might be better lefties than righties would be better off facing a lefty pitcher as lefty than as righty. Why do so many switch hitters get automatically turned around and lose their power and average?
-
Too bad they could have had him for 100 million
-
Just as it was dumb for NY to sign Isaiah Thomas when he was hot, it would be dumb for the Cubs to dump Z when he's cold. You have to give him a chance. Plus, he won't be worth nearly as much as he would be near the trading deadline. Z has a 3.5 career ERA, gets around 200 innings every year, and is never hurt. You don't dump a young pitcher with that arm after a rough stretch.
-
The assistant GM today said that the Cubs aren't aware of any injuries to Z. If he's hurt, Z isn't saying anything. His location stinks and his slider has always been a college slider at best. Zambrano doesn't want to go on the DL if he's hurt from his perspective, but I doubt he'll get a huge contract if he has a 12-10 year with a 5.00 ERA. Z has to get his emotions under control. How many times has he sucked and no one has yelled at him?
-
The two are equally bad. Both spend big money on the wrong players and somehow manage to get extensions after mediocre seasons and extensions in the middle or beginning of the season when things are going good.

I can't believe the NFL took a bunch of the rookies and made them do promotional stuff for the NFL during minicamp. It was mandatory and Olsen and the RB from NIU were taken. I heard Dungy was quite mad at the NFL for this.
