  1. Dude, those guys work for the Cubs. Sheehan doesn't. Z is not a 18 year old pitcher, he's a horse. Don't worry, Lou will take him out but this pitch count crap is getting ridiculous. It's not like he has thrown 160 pitches. The Cubs have nothing to gain from him pitching the 9th and everything to lose. It's a completely unneccessary risk. I also think the recent shoulder strain HAS to at least be considered. I just don't see the reason to risk it. If Z goes down, forget it.
  2. Ramirez gained like 20 points on his OPS tonight.
  3. Maybe you should do some research on pitcher abuse. stressful innings MOST CERTAINLY influence pitcher abuse. I'm not saying that it doesn't. What I'm saying is that 118 pitches is still a lot of work, no matter how stressful they are.
  4. So is it safe to say that Shark is Lou's new toy? Good luck, kid.
  5. It looks like the Brewers have completely given up out there.
  6. You know that Zambrano recently had a shoulder strain and is coming off a 125 pitch outing, right? Seriously, that would be ridiculously reckless and irresponsible. Also, the "non stress" innings thing seems like an excuse to me. 118 pitches is still 118 pitches. We're up by 6 and have 2 months left to go. There is no reason to leave him in.
  7. That pitch was by design, right? It looked exactly like his final pitch in Tampa when he got hurt.
  8. I kind of expect Z to have a rought night after being used for 125 pitches last start.
  9. Pretty sure he's been visited by Modzilla. Exposed? He claimed to be married and older, but it turns out he's some 16 year old kid who posts under different names. ThatD-backs fan that posts here sometimes has a picture of him in his sig. He's a little kid.
  10. I love how CubsGM doesn't post in game threads anymore since he was exposed.
  11. This guy is NOT a clutch player.
  12. Why? He probably wouldn't have scored on Lee's single but Aramis' flyball would have plated him anyways.
  13. I bet he still doesn't get traded. On a related note, it sucks that Chipper/Hudson/Tex all might miss the Brewers series this week and the first 2 are def. missing the current Cards series.
  14. Man, best win of the season right there. I thought we had little chance of winning this game, with the worst of our 4 starters going against their best. I'm liking the matchups the rest of the way. This team showed me a lot today. Twice they blew leads and twice they responded. Good to see that on the road.
