Will it ever TRULY be erased from your mind until they win it all?

hey aramis fan. One more request... Sosa's HR in game 1 (I believe it was game 1)? Do you have that one? Thanks for the woody one.

:oops: sorry for the redundant thread. lock this one mods!

SSIA. I figured this would go in Cubs discussions, moderate it as necessary. I really want to see that HR again.

Nope, none needed, though if I were to send you a link to every single sarcastic comment made on this site, I wouldn't have time to post.

Is it wrong that I enjoy calling him Dick Harden all the time? :oops:

To be honest, I'm glad Hendry doesn't listen to alot of people on this board and really, any board.

premature.

I don't know why he's leaving demp out there. I know demp probably begged to be out there and we just had the all star break, and it's only a 4 run lead, but still.

I command this thread to be multiple pages by noon. We owe it to Z. Though he really should stop breaking his bat over his knee.

HUH? He gave a ratonal response to Soul's As for "selective moderating", the mods do what they can, but it's difficult to moderate every post. If you think someone is out of line, report the post. And also understand that not all modding is done in a public avenue. Not all warnings, suspensions, bannings, etc. are made public. Fair enough. But is posting "shocking" really "railing" on a poster? It's pretty harmless when compared to a lot of contentious arguments on here. That's all I'm saying. I thought it was pretty benign. I guess you can respond and then we can carry this to PM's if I feel like I need to.question. How is that "callng him out" or "selective moderating"? Do tell. I was referring to his post to me, not the post I quoted. All I said was "shocking". It wasn't a personal attack and I got called out on sarcasm, when NSBB favorites get to be sarcastic all the time. Sorry, it just irritated me. I made the comment because it was the second consecutive thread I clicked on where you did nothing but but rail on a poster for supposedly being irrational without contributing at all. If your response is "what about this guy?", then you probably know that my comment wasn't off base. I mean what's the difference between that posting, and the posting of Wood as a sham closer. Both are directed with sarcasm to a certain poster (even if that thread is now locked, the "sham" approach is/was still used and will be when he returns... Neither are mean spirited...

Thanks guys. :oops:

no one liked my shark week post? :(

SHARK WEEK. people, seriously. :roll:

Because the only other guys in the pen that can go multiple innings are our primary setup men at the moment. Selective modding? Please call abuck on it everytime he's sarcastic too? Or does he get a pass? Sorry TT, I've never had any problem with you, but the selective favoritism by mods on who gets to be sarcastic and who doesn't is ridiculous. HUH?

It IS Shark week people...

It's Lou's fault, like everything else that goes bad.

Wait, so now, the SHARK is getting abused? I wish all of you were managing the Cubs pen. Seriously. I wish we had the internet in the 70's.

He was also disgustingly sick tonight.

I don't want him to finish it, but I know Z will insist that he gets to. That's why I love Z. That being said, I wish NSBB, would realize not ALL pitchers have the same requirements for pitch counts. As Kasper just cited, Sheehan indicated that older pitchers can tolerate higher counts. Plus as I repeat AD NAUSEUM, it's higher stress innings, that REALLY influence Pitcher Abuse. And since it's a 1-0 game, it makes sense to risk his arm with the extra pitches and pitchers on the bench who haven't pitched in a few days :roll: All I'm saying is that Z is a huge competitor, a horse, and he's older and not prone to the real damage that happens with young pitchers ala Prior and Wood (in high school). He's been coasting, he's out now. It's fine. Lou is being careful with Harden for good reason, Z is fine. I think fans put WAY too much emphasis on pitch counts without taking other factors into count (age, high stress innings)

Maybe you should do some research on pitcher abuse. stressful innings MOST CERTAINLY influence pitcher abuse.

You know why I love Kasper? Because he cites guys like Sheehan.

you do realize Z would break a bat over Lou's junk if he took him out of the game. That's how Z rolls.

I did a search for Z and Zambrano and didn't see anything, so I thought this was necessary. Maybe one of the guys on our squad that gets taken for granted. Over the past 6 years he's become one of my favorites. I love his intensity and his love of the game, and how he's matured as a player. This thread is for appreciation for his quotes, his plays, his pitching, his hitting, his internet using, and all around love for Big Z.
