Is Chester Taylor still hurt? If so Adrian Peterson for sure
-
Strangely enough according to BR.com, Zambrano is 21-21 with a 4.78 ERA with 5 days of rest (58 starts). Also, Z has never started a game on 3 days rest -
Exactly, the fact that he is going to have 3 days rest leads me to believe Lou won't make him throw much more than 100 pitches.
-
Wainwright is a tough matchup for the Cubs. He has pretty much dominated at will in the second half of the season. However, if Z is on, he is still better. Lets start off this series on a high note! Wainwright's ERAs by month: April: 6.14 May: 5.00 June: 3.69 July: 3.09 August: 2.00 September: 2.39 Zambrano's ERAs by month: April: 5.77 May: 4.72 June: 2.53 July: 1.38 August: 7.06 September: 7.84

Miami would be a good market if their stadium was close to anything and had a roof. No one wants to drive 40 minutes to the middle of nowhere to sit in the 95 degree sun. Sure Cubs, Red Sox, Yankees, Dodgers and Giants fans might do it, but not many teams would.

Back in the early 80's Wrigley was pretty empty. I remember buying the cheapest seats and moving to box seats. Everything changed after 1984. The CUBS had a lot of crowds in the hundreds back in the early/mid sixties. Gave the fans a chance to get to know the players !! :wink: The Cards are dead. Long live the Cards !!! I'm confused...
-
Of course they do, Miguel Cabrera is still there.
-
I think I might be in Cinci that weekend and if so, I will be there.

Weird that you mentioned we don't usually recover from those types of things, but you also mentioned Brant Brown, which we did recover from. Ah yes, but by losing that game, the Cubs had to use Steve Trachsel (this thread is coming full circle) in the one game playoff prompting Mark Clark, he of a 4.84 ERA that season to start Game 1 of the playoffs.
-
Wow, last night when I saw the grounder go off first base and into RF, I thought this is the 2007 Brant Brown or Steve Bartman. We usually don't recover from that. Maybe its just one game, or maybe its the start of something special. Something magical. The moment that everyone will remember as the turning point to a World Seri- oh wait Trachsel is on the mound. Cubs lose 8-3
-
you were saying? Oh wait, baseball allows 3 outs per inning? Crap :)
-
Unbelievable. Cliff risked life and limb and ran his butt off for nothing.
-
Surprise, DeRosa doesn't get the job done. Kendall better get the job done, it would be sickening to see the Cubs waste a leadoff Floyd TRIPLE
-
I could definitely stand to see a locked in Cliff Floyd the last 2.5 weeks of the season.
-
OK Rich, you walk the pitcher and you should be SHOT.
-
Rich Hill blows
-
I would have picked some time last night in the later innings.
-
Brewers - Ryan Braun Astros - Craig Biggio Cardinals - Jim Edmonds Reds - Javier Valentin Pirates - Jason Bay (for his fantasy season mostly)
-
Yeah why are we kicking Ramirez and Lee out of their natural positions when they are much better at D than their counterparts Braun and Fielder?
-
Better than Torres
-
I definitely don't trust Ronnie Paulino
-
Grabow goes to 3-0 on Jenkins before getting him to ground out on 3-2. Phew
-
Grabow in to pitch. If the Pirates win, I watch the game tonight. If they lose, I won't bother because I know the Cubs will in turn lose.
-
Some guy named Stetter is about to put his name is Brewers lore with a grand slam Edit: nm, Jenkins PHs. He'll K
-
Bill Hall K's, he sucks. But Damien Miller does not, I am predicting a 3 run shot.
