Through a source, there has been some chatter this week, nothing more, nothing less. The number of homers that Hill and Marshall gave up in their last starts alarmed some folks I'm told. My sense is that both will be under some scrutiny in their next starts. The big question I have is that if Marshall or Hill were dealt for a major bat, who would step into the rotation? The homers Lilly gives up isn't alarming them as well? Good question. I asked that question too. The source indicated the focus was on Hill and Marshall because of their "cheap" production and age. So, we're focusing on trading with a team that would want long term cheap production?

Nifty DP there. Makes Pagan holding AJ at first even bigger.
-
Well, crap. Kornerko takes Z deep.

I was hoping Lee would have gotten that one.

That wasn't good.

Can we send Theriot down already?

He can't play every day. Ok, well I think he can. I also think he needs to be surrounded by better talent. I also believe he should be a 2nd base, not at shortstop, but they have many 2nd baseman right now. One thing i was wondering, does his batting average drop corralate with his spot int he lineup? why would it matter if he were surrounded by better talent? I think it's because if we had better talent, it wouldn't matter if I shortstop sucked. -
Soriano with a single!
-
That's a lot of pitches.
-
Is that the official term? :lol: yes. The first inning it was the shape of Arkansas, then Texas, then Wyoming. I'm expecting Florida this inning.
-
Wow...this ump has the all over America strike zone.
-
Good play by Fontenot.
-
Where was he throwing that?
-
And now Zambrano walks Thome.
-
I'd trade him today for Saltamalacchia and Jo Jo Reyes.
-
Bowen sucks.
-
Ok, Buerle hit Ramirez. Someone needs to beat his ass now.
-
Basehit for Lee.
-
7 K's out of nine hitters...holy freaking jesus!
-
Fontenot pulled that too much.
-
I was going by Sportsline for the pitch counts. One pitch difference on Z doesn't surprise me...but the discrepancy on Buerle is noticeable.
-
Pitch Counts through 2 IP- Buerle: 32 Zambrano: 30
-
Zambrano looks good, but he's throwing a lot of pitches.
-
Howry didn't cost the team the game. Leaving 13 men on base did. Through the first three innings, the Cubs had left 7 men on. That's passing up on way too many opportunities. Furthemore, Bowen could have scored on Pagan's double in the second, but Quade held him. If he scores that run, the game is completely changed.

Orioles do that, too. Pretty much every team does. It takes about 5 years or so the be removed from their email list assuming you don't buy anymore tickets from them. Atleast that was the case when I attended the Cubs series in San Francisco in 2001 and I was removed from their email list about a year ago. I'm guessing all the teams work along those same lines. That's about right.
