    Nice hustle by Ryan.

    Castro is leading the Majors in batting average and slugging! Tied for 9th on the team in RBIs.

    Let's not get crazy?!?!?!?

    Hardest part of the cycle out of the way.......

    I think I'd give Rammy a couple of games in a row off. He's just totally sucking all around. Chad Tracey sucking in the lineup wouldn't be as potentially "psychologically damaging" in the lon run than Rammy in the lineup making bad AB after bad AB. Looks like it's carried onto the field, at least tonight. Or maybe stick him on the DL with a strained Patton and let him get some "rehab" ABs off minor league pitching.

    The Pirates lost three straight to the Dodgers, outscored 20-5, before the series with the Cubs. The Cubs hit the hell out of the ball the last three games of the D'backs series and won all 3. That after dropping 4 of 5 to the Mets and AZ with virtually no offense. The Brewers beat the crap out of the Bucs in a 3 game series only to get completely shut down the following series by the Cubs. It happens. The play in the previous series often doesn't matter. The Reds have been just as inconsistent as the Cubs. And their manager is an even bigger idiot!

    I hate this lineup because the only "righty" off the bench to PH is Koyie Hill. If Soto was gonna miss a game in the series, I would've had him miss tonight. If the Cubs need a PH at a critical point later in the game, it's gonna be a lefty (or Hill). Doesn't make a BP decision very difficult for the Pirates manager .

    This year, when Soriano does start to hit a slump, the Cubs have 2 capable backups (at least for now) in Colvin and Nady. I expect Nady to hit and Colvin has been doing well. With these two on the roster, the Cubs won't have to keep Alf in the lineup day after day while he struggles out of a slump. A little depth is always nice!

    Maybe it's Trammel that's the shitty decision-maker. You know, like Lou gets liquored up the night before and passes out in his office. Trammel finds him the next day completely wrecked, so he tapes his eyelids open, puts him in a fresh uniform and dumps him on the bench. Kinda like "Weekend at Bernie's". Nah, probably not.

    What did Lou do now??
  11. PackLandVA
    This. Given the really good starting pitching and the fact the Cubs are still a game under .500 just shows how wildly inconsistent the offense has been. On a different note, the Cubs (and Tigers) have played the most AWAY games so far to start the season. Not certain if it means anything....but if you're gonna get off to a slow start, I'd rather the losses come on the road. Protect the home turf!

    Nice offensive start.
  13. PackLandVA
    Shocker there! :roll:
  14. PackLandVA
    I'm guessing and ARam-K or ARam-doubleplay.
  15. PackLandVA
    Looks like Olsen is pitching tonight for the Nats. So it will be Lannan, Hernandez and Atilano. Lannan and Hernandez have both been pretty solid against the Cubs over their careers. No gimmes there.
  16. PackLandVA
    I'd be happy with a winning the next two series, or a win and a split. Baby steps.
  17. PackLandVA
    J.R. Who's in the avatar.....Morales??
  18. PackLandVA
    Wonder if Z pitches the same in the 8th with only a 2-run lead.
  19. PackLandVA
    Who's copmplaining about Grabow???? 2/3 of an inning and no runs!! [-X http://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_rofl2.gif
  20. PackLandVA
    What happened?????
  21. PackLandVA
    Why the hell did Lou bat with Lilly then? Sac Bunt attempt I assume.
  22. PackLandVA
    Looks like Lou is saving Z for the 8th or if the Brewers get men on base in the 7th. Why not just pitch Z the next two innings????
  23. PackLandVA
    Is Z warming up yet?
  24. PackLandVA
    Did someone say Navin??? THE Navin Johnson??? http://www.impawards.com/1979/posters/jerk.jpg
  25. PackLandVA
    I hope so. Leaving a 1 run lead to this bullpen for 4 innings would be frightening. I think if the Cubs are leading and it's close, Z pitches all the way until the 9th, assuming he's effective.
