    I can't believe that Soto is starting again. He has to be among the most used catchers in baseball.

    Great, maybe the primadonna will actually show up for voluntary workouts now.

    It's not a joke though to the best of my knowledge... So homophobia's cool then, just so long as the target actually is a [expletive]? I must have missed the offensive joke. I don't personally have any problem with homosexuality.

    Well, I can already throw slow, so all I need to do is work on my location and I think I'll give the Cubs a call.

    Vance, you usually sit in left right? I already have tickets to the game. Let me know and we'll meet up. I plan on catching at least 2 Shawn Estes HR balls.

    I'm confused. The Cubs have only had 3 three game series sweeps (vs. Pit, @ Pit, vs. Ari) to my knowledge... Yes, and all three were series in which Zambrano did not pitch. There was only one other series in which that happened (@Stl I think). So, the Cubs have swept 3 of the 4 three-game series in which Zambrano didn't pitch (The Mets sweep was a 2-gamer in which Z did pitch). Ah, I gotcha. That makes sense now.

    Force him to vote for John McCain. He'll hate that.

    Good question. I don't think there's enough space in the Cubs clubhouse for all of them. In all seriousness seeing Jimmy in a Cubs uniform would be depressing. For everyone involved. I personally don't think he would sign with the Cubs. Remember all his complaining about the cold showers and crappy conditions at Wrigley. And he certainly hasn't forgotten a lot of the stuff people have screamed at him over the years from the bleachers. He knows he would not be welcome, and I don't think her personally likes the Cubs of their fans that much. IMO, he would probably take a minor league deal with another team over a major league deal with us.

    Good move. We are going to beat the Pirates anyways, might as well get the kid's confidence up. Hopefully he believes he is pitching to actual major leaguers. (Sorry Jake, I'm kidding I know the Pirates are alright this year)

    I would cheer for him to strike out every AB. I thought for sure I would NEVER put one individual player above the team, but in this instance, I can't imagine ever wanting to cheer for that hack.
  12. UMFan83
    I agree with the sitting Geo sentiment, he needs a day off, going 0 for his last 12. Also, he has started 12 consecutive games for the Cubs, going at least 9 innings behind the plate in 10 of those 12. Blanco hasn't started since April 27th, and has only started 5 out of the Cubs 37 games.

    I would guess skipped for sure, as we have had 2 rotational "off days" with the day off Thursday, and today with Gallagher. I'm guessing the matchups will be: Zambrano vs. Wolf Marquis vs. Estes (yay, the game I'm going to....) Lilly vs. Peavy Dempster vs. Maddux WGN today had Lilly pitching Wednesday, ESPN has him going Thursday
  15. UMFan83
    With that win we go above the .500 mark in non-Pirates games. 6-0 against the pirates, 16-15 vs. everyone else.

    Might not be closing for much longer after his comments today: http://blogs.jsonline.com/brewers/archive/2008/05/10/gagne-admits-he-doesn-t-deserve-closer-s-role.aspx

    Can't believe no one is mentioning this, but there is very little chance that this game goes down. There is supposed to be A LOT of rain tomorrow. http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/hourbyhour/60657?begHour=11&begDay=132

    I really hope this Zambrano/Johnson matchup is better than the last one in 2004.. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ARI/ARI200404260.shtml

    It's May...so don't beat yourself up over it. Just enjoy the Cubs winning their first series vs. AZ since 2003
  21. UMFan83
    I'm mean seriously. If you bring in Chad Fox and he gets in trouble, fine bring in Marmol. BUT WITH A FIVE RUN LEAD IN THE NINTH AFTER YOU'VE USED HIM YESTERDAY...WHY??
  22. UMFan83
    2 HR's by May 10th does not equal power. I'm not complaining, though. By that I meant that he does have power to some extent.
  23. UMFan83
    Good news, we're up by 5 now, its MARMOL TIME!!!
  24. UMFan83
    FUKUBOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE DOES HAVE POWER!!!!!
  25. UMFan83
