So if Z would have pitched today, we lose what? 1-0? What's the difference? The difference is, Z is going tomorrow. And that means they've got a good shot to win....again. And taking 3 of 4 from the Pirates is exactly what the Cubs could use. Asking for a sweep is not realistic. Three game sweeps rarely happen, let alone 4. Go out and take 3 of 4 from Pittsburgh, and then 3 of 4 from the Reds. If they do that, then they're headed in the right direction going into the Cards series. -
Hey, at least we have Big Z coming out to stop the losing at 1 game. You gotta like the way the starters are going right now. Maddux kept 'em in the game. Being three down in the 9th is at least manageable. We'll Have Z tomorrow, and then Williams, Prior, Wood, and Maddux against the Reds. I like the odds!

Mesa's last 3 appearances versus the Cubs: 2.1 innings, 5 hits, 4 earned runs, record of 0-2 Hmmmm.....
-
What's their record when hitting into 3 or more DPs in a game?
-
Cubs are 45-44 after today's win. Not that I'm trying to burst your bubble. Still a .506, though, tied with the 'stros.

Good starting pitching breeds competitiveness! At least among the Top 4 starters. I don't think any of them wants to be the weak link. I think each one goes out and tries to best the last performance. Especially among the three power pitchers. And with those 4 pitchers healthy, I think a win any night is possible, if not probably, regardless of the pitching matchup (assuming they stay healthy).

Boy, comparing MTs numbers to others, about 6 people could've gotten the MVP?!?!? I guess chicks dig the long ball, and he was first!

Duck snort. He Gone! (God, I can't believe I said that... Hawk and DJ are the WORST announcers of all time) They really are. I cant stand listening to them for 5 minutes. I'd listen to them do a game before Berman on ESPN. Berman REALLY blows!! Like HeaveTheHawk.com says it clearly, he's more of a cheerleader than an announcer. Athough, I dont think anyone wants to see him in a cheerleader's uniform. http://bestsmileys.com/puking/2.gif Haha, that's an awesome smiley!! We need to save that for when Macias is inserted into the starting lineup. You know, like Hairston CF Walker 2B Lee 1B Ramirez 3B Burnitz RF Barrett C Macias SS http://timesfour.com/x4graemlins/icon_horse.gif Hollandsworth Sorry, I thought we'd use the above one for Macias! :D

Haven't watched the game since the 5th. Any clear cut choice for MVP? I can't think who might get it based on the stats?
-
Beltran hit a rocket right at Tejeda in the first for a DP.
-
Sarting in 1959, the NL went 27 and 5 with one tie (in '61 at Fenway). Gosh, the AL must've hated playing each year!
-
Back in the 60's, 70's and 80's, didn't the NL win like 25 of 30 ASGs? Or some ridiculous amount?
-
At 7:06 PM, this sounded like a well-thought out statement! :roll:
-
Teixeira
-
Is it that big a deal if he plays the whole game? It's not like it's football. The guy will still be off tomorrow. He'd be playing if there was no All_Star Break. If LaRussa pulled him after a couple of innings, people would be bitching that the best player in the NL only batted once!
-
Good point, expect Macais to start at third on Thursday :lol:
-
I think the NL starters are considerably better, especially before Pedro dropped out. Carp, Dontrelle, Clemens, Pedro.....not many baserunners in there, let alone runs!
-
August 1st is the latest projection for Nomar's return.
-
Prior is leading off the Thursday game according to Cubs.com. Prior will be followed by Wood on Friday, Maddux on Saturday and Zambrano on Sunday. I wonder why the extra day for Z. Must be to put a break in between the hard throwers.
-
Rusch was necessary to spot start/start last season and early this year. Now, however, I feel comfortable with Mitre or Williams filling the spot starter role. If they can get something of value for GR, I'd be willing to part with him. Because like others have said, he's not as efficient as a reliever.

We all knew that the schedule in June and then the first part of July were gonna be a killer. I agreed with many other posters saying that if the Cubs could stay near .500 at the All-Star Break AND stay healthy, they'd be in good shape. Well, they're a game of .500 at the Break. I think the schedule works out for them to start the 2nd half. The worst part of their schedule has passed. I expect their starting pitching to be better and more consistent. I think the past 3 games was a glimpse into what to expect. I think the lineup, offensively, will be better as long as 1-2 are getting on base. And I think with a good start to the 2nd half, Hendry will make some moves to strengthen the team. I don't know if they'll make the playoffs. But I'd at least like to see them compete, and play to their potential. Heck, there's always next year! :wink:

PREDICTION - DLee makes 'em pay this time!!!

Last night I went to the can in the second... Got out and it was already the 5th. Course my lunch selection probably had mor eto do with that! :oops:
