    A 34-year-old second baseman is probably not getting a multiyear offer so if the Cubs offer him a contract it'll probably be the best one. Hope they do. Hopefully he'll give the Cubs a discount as well. I'm just worried that Hendry and Dusty think Neifi will be suitable for 2B next year since he is already signed. :x

    Why couldn't Hill have pitched well when I watched him when Iowa played in Sacramento? I got to see him get hit hard enough while he was on the Cubs. Hopefully he figures out how to be successful at the major league level and hopefully that success is with the Cubs.

    It is the ugly side of the boards showing which is part of the reason I do not post much here. Cubs get a great team win 8-0 over Houston and people are tearing each other to shreds over Z's extra 10 pitches. Not that it is not a worthy discussion but I think it should carry on in it's own thread on Baseball Discussions rather than here. Personally, I was surprised Z was able to escape the 8th without further damage. Probably he should have been pulled but he managed to fight through it without further damage. When he started falling behind badly to every batter I knew he was pitching on the edge. It's a great win, everyone came out healthy, difference of opinion happen. Meh, I don't get it sometimes. I agree with you in the sense that it seemed like Z started to lose it a bit in the eighth inning and that's why I would have taken him out after he lost the no hitter.

    It's much more depressing to listen to MLB.TV, get the Astros feed, hear the Astros announcers talk about their team hitting rock bottom after today's game, then looking at the standings and realizing that the Astros would only be 4 games under .500 if they lost today.

    Z's homer was a line shot into the right-center field bullpen and definitely was not a cheapie. Re the last comment: close. Pierre has 5 RBI. Yeah, Z crushed that ball.
  6. soccer10k
    Agreed. Let's just worry about getting into 4th place first.
  7. soccer10k
    He did. The Giants announcers are talking about it and it shows up on MLB.com scoreboard.

    To get the thread back on topic, excellent game for Z both on the mound and with the bat. Jacque continues to hit the ball well with another HR. Tony Womack was the only starter without a hit. 5 players with 2 hits. Let's hope the Cubs continue to play well and pick on Houston when they are on a losing streak.

    Good, I'm glad to see the Cubs slowly work him back up. If he's going to make two more starts at the minor league level, which it sounds like he'll do, I'd rather have him pitch one at AA and one at AAA.

    No, this is the game that will be buried on Sportscenter behind the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Michell Wie, Red Sox/Yankees and Barry Bonds Except for the fact that it already led Baseball Tonight.
  11. soccer10k
    That's what I'm going to be looking for as well. No let downs please.
  12. soccer10k
    As he should be.
  13. soccer10k
    Lets focus on the good things. CUBS WIN!!
  14. soccer10k
    No it's not, are you crazy? You leave him in with 115 BECAUSE it's a no no. The minute that's over, you pull him. Agreed. You have to get him out immediately after he gives up the hit.
  15. soccer10k
    The Cubs are cursed when there is 1 out in the eighth inning. If Z could have got that out, he would have finished it off.
  16. soccer10k
    I hate you Preston Wilson. On the positive note, at least Z won't run his pitch count up too high tonight.
  17. soccer10k
    Thank you.
  18. soccer10k
    Z needs a couple quick outs.
  19. soccer10k
    Base hit Juan Pierre.
  20. soccer10k
    Is that 98 or 99 pitches?
  21. soccer10k
    Berkman should have been called out on strikes twice there.
  22. soccer10k
    Nice play ARam.
  23. soccer10k
    ESPN.com has mentioned the no-hit bid.
  24. soccer10k
    Is it 81 pitches or 84? I hope only 81.
  25. soccer10k
    Pitch count?
