K's Berkman. If he can get Lee to roll over in a DP, he can get out of it.
-
Damn! If Sean picks that, it's a 1-6-3 DP...but it rattles off of him and gets a cheapie hit.
-
Uh oh. Gallagher in a bit of jam again.
-
Sean is going to have to limit his pitches a little better. His PC is getting up there quickly.
-
I hate it when the Cubs forget all about the patience they have when they are good.
-
Pretty good inning for Sean. Now, let's add some more runs!
-
The Astros announcers really like Gallagher's stuff.
-
Damn, Theriot!
-
Hell of a catch, Riot! Sean gets out of it!
-
Nice pitch to K Berkman!
-
OMG, Half-shirt. Don't ever Freaking do that again!
-
Sean needs to settle down and get ahead of Tejeda.
-
Back to back doubles is great!
-
I'm glad Lee didn't get the day off! And it's good for Sean to have a cushion.
-
Fukudome showing off the patience!
-
I'm going to have to listen to the Astros' broadcasters. :cry:

This poll should be locked until someone puts a little more effort into making it have proper representation of all players who fit this class.

Dayn Perry: "Are the Cubs for real?"
vance_the_cubs_fan replied to ChiCubsfan0502's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I see the rotation being the one area we need to strengthen by the deadline. If our focus is on how to beat the Diamondbacks, we can't afford to have any holes in our starting pitching. Ideally, we need a #2 starter, but I don't think any will be available. Who will the best options be? AJ Burnett Greg Maddux (he could fill the 5th starter's role and provide long relief in the playoffs Others? Padilla, Millwood, and Harden might all be available. -

I just hope a trade might offset the decline of Dempster and others. -
Sit Derrek Lee tonight, 5/21?

Haufpauir is from Texas, so maybe if Lee is given tonight off, Micah performs well in front of his family and friends. -
Personally, I hope Theriot keeps it up. Rationally, I know it isn't likely. I'm aware of his faults, but he is one of my favorite players right now. If he struggles, I will be all for replacing him. But as of right now, I hope he keeps this going all season. I know...the liklihood of that isn't great, but I'm enjoying this while I can.

For me, it's home and work. Obviously more home than work, but still not enough to let me vote either way. Of course, I could vote other. I've accessed it at airports, hotel lobbies, my brother-in-law's house.

Geexe what a horrible list. Nomar is likely the choice of the ones on there, but why isn't Gaetti on the list? Hell Luis Salazar would have been a better choice than some of those guys? Mitch Williams was a Cub for just a little longer than Nomar. Can't he be on the list? I can't vote until some research is done and a better list is produced. This looks like I an "I want Nomar to win this so I won't be bothered looking for any real decent options" poll.

What you say makes me optimistic for tonight. One other thing that gives me hope is that Sean is a smart pitcher. He's shown that in his minor league starts as well. Berkman will probably be the hitter that gives Sean the most trouble, but Berkman gives lots of pitchers fits.
