I'm not sure if this was sarcasm or truth, but Springer does deserve to be suspended.
-
They just reported on SportsCenter that one of the referees got pulled from the match because a picture was printed in a newspaper where the guy was wearing a Barcelona jersey.
-
I doubt you'll see Prior pitch because if he's at AAA, that'd mean it's more than likely his second rehab start (meaning he'd have to have one in the next few days) and also because the Cubs would prefer to have a home minor league game for the rehab assignment. I figured as such, mainly the part about pitching in Iowa rather than pitching on the road. But I can always hope.

So you are so sick of Bonds coverage you start threads and devote your sig to the topic? I put the picture in my sig because that is the most original and funniest steroids sign I have ever seen. It takes three brain cells to draw an asterisk or write "Bonds took steroids and it took even less brain power to throw a cork on the field at Sammy. But this is a one of a kind and it takes up two whole sections.

Boumsong got a spot. Also, out of the 4 good young defenders I named (Mexes, Silvestre, Christianval and Zebina), only one got a roster spot. I will now bet against France. Let's see how long their scoreless streak gets extended to in WC play. It's at 270 minutes right now :D They'll forfeit at halftime of their first game.
-
Haha. Imagine if Prior pitched on $1 hot dog night. There would be a whole lot of hot dogs sold that night. :lol: I don't have that much luck. I just know he's going to pitch on Wednesday night when I have a mandatory lab.

I live in Northern California. I have to put up with more Bonds coverage then you could ever imagine. So don't anybody tell me that they get sick of hearing about Bonds just because they lead SC and BBTN with him. I get it in every newspaper and every sportstalk radio also.
-
How is my thread talking about how awesome it was that he got beaned elevating his publicity. Yup, I carry just as much weight as ESPN does. Maybe I should start my own network. Hmmm...
-
I'm glad we only scored 4 runs today. No need to waste runs with Z pitching well. We need those runs for other games.
-
I'm going to at least one game anyway (Thursday's are $1 hot dog nights) but if Prior is making a start, my plans might change.
-
Russ Springer basically threw 5 balls inside on Bonds before beaning him. I just saw the sequence again on SportsCenter and they just showed a view from the first base side of the plate and you could see a bunch of Houston fans jump up and start cheering when he got beaned. AWESOME.
-
There were a couple things posted in today's game thread about Prior potentially being back by Memorial Day so I'm wondering if anybody knows if any rehab starts have been scheduled? The main reason I want to know this is because the Iowa Cubs are coming to Sacramento next week from Monday through Thursday and I would like to know if Prior will be making a rehab start there so I can go to the game.
-
I would say yes until Lee comes back because when Lee comes back I would put Walker second in the lineup. I would at least give him a chance to see how he does.

Jacque Jones: Can We Trade him for Corey Patterson?
soccer10k replied to Old Style's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Seconded It's just stupidity. You're learn in little league that when the ball is hit in the air you need to make sure it falls before you run. Just think about that. There are thousands of 9 year olds that run the bases better than Jacque Jones. -
Cubs Win and a 1-2-3 9th for Dempster.
-
I live in California.

I think everybody but CubfanInCA is in agreement that Z shouldn't have come out to pitch the eighth so let's just end the argument.

One thing I've noticed about Baker. He'll never preemptively have the bullpen warming up in these situations. He always waits until the first sign of trouble and usually doesn't pull the pitcher until it's too late. Baker is reactive rather than proactive. perhaps it's a show of confidence in z??? the guy's quite proven. no need to be pessimistic. Z looked terrible, and he was clearly tired. The Cubs, and Zambrano, got very lucky there. And who cares about showing confidence in him? The Cubs need to win, not make Zambrano feel better by having no one up in the 'pen. That's plain old bad managing. Not replacing Z was a mistake, and it was then compounded by leaving him in there for 20 pitches. I wonder if Rothschild says anyting to Dusty. Larry: Hey, Skip Z looks a little gassed. Dusty: You think? Larry: Well, he walked the first guy and the next two tatooed the ball Dusty: Really, I wasn't paying attention. I guess I should get someone up in the pen. Dusty: Ok let's bring a reliever in. Larry: You don't have anyone warming up. Dusty: Larry: Would you like me to have Howry and Eyre warm up? Dusty: Whatever, I'm getting another toothpick.

maybe you need to heed your own advice and not be pessimistic, eh? all star pitcher vs. 4th man in the pen. hmmmm Williamson has a 3.71 ERA. The 4th man in our pen this year is FAR better than the 4th man in the pen in years past. You can't make that comparison.

Baker is reactive rather than proactive. perhaps it's a show of confidence in z??? the guy's quite proven. no need to be pessimistic. You know Z is at 100 pitches. You know you have one of the best bullpens in the league. It is inexcusable to not have somebody warming up just in case. It's not pessimism. It's called being prepared. it's called ticking an all star pitcher off. Z should be mature enough to not get ticked off there. All-Star pitchers don't get ticked off if their manager has somebody warming up just in case.

You got lucky there Dusty.
-
Then bring in Williamson. But Z shouldn't still be in this game with a rising pitch count.
-
I love how they show Dusty and Rothchild in the dugout and they're both just sitting there like nothing's wrong. Anyone have a pitch count on Z now?
