  1. Dive for it Z! OK, maybe not. Get ready Barrett.
  2. Weak first pitch ground out to 2nd... A winner is you. :lol: I cheat. :) But I'll predict that next AB he singles up the middle.
  3. Weak first pitch ground out to 2nd...
  4. Yep, despite not giving up any runs, Z is not at his best right now.
  5. I just turned on the Astro/Brewer game on MLB audio. Lidge just struck out Bill Hall with the tying runners on 2nd and 3rd to get out of the 8th. Hell of a game it sounds like. 12-10 Astros going in to the 9th.
  6. cbs is behind. what happened? Deep fly to the warning track in right.
  7. Len wields Godlike power over this site. Base hit for Aram. C'mon Bare Bare.
  8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE0wOH9FNQ0&search=japanese%20pitcher I would like to see somebody try that in MLB: fake charge the mound and then take the turn to first base. If you are like me and never tire of watching basebrawls, this one is worth the wait it takes to download... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipy7eAjREDI&search=baseball%20fights ESPN's top 9 baseball fights. The Izzy Alcantara highlight rocks! BTW, nice save by the Cub catcher tackling Dave Winfield before he could get to Mike Krukow. Also, this one is pretty funny. A fight between two Canadian college teams. It's worth it just to hear the lady at the end (I won't spoil it).
  9. I will say this, it's not like it was necessarily a cut and dried issue at that point. Coming up, Cruz was considered every bit the pitching prospect that Zambrano was and both had similar major league numbers coming off 2002, each at the ripe young ages of 21... GS W-L IP H HR BB SO ERA Cruz 9 3-11 97.3 84 11 59 81 3.98 Zambrano 16 4-8 108.3 94 9 63 93 3.66 Of course, as it turned it out, Cruz was actually 2 years older than originally thought. But I remember a lot of experts at the time not being sold on Zambrano and thinking that Cruz had Pedro-like ability. So I say, way to go Alf! Maybe they should give him a job in the scouting department.
  10. I like 1-2-3 ninth innings. Yay!
  11. Nolan Ryan No, that was Robin Ventura stupidly chraging the mound and getting sufficiently pummelled by Nolan. Nolan Ryan took a Bo Jackson line drive to the face and continued to pitch. I'll find a picture of it. http://www.weirdpicturearchive.com/pics/nolanryan.html http://www.weirdpicturearchive.com/img/nolanryan.jpg stud! only way thats a better story is if ryan gives himself the stitchesNolan Ryan doesn't need stitches, he can coagulate his blood and suture his skin through sheer will.
  12. I'm assuming he is done for the night... Kind of wished he'd go 9.
  13. Do you have any qualms about ugly women? Jacque Jones is fast approaching the alleged need to get nasty with one coyote ugly female, if Mark Grace's Rx is accurate. Dusty needs to give Dick Pole his keys and have him start cruising the strip.
  14. I was all set to snark on Cedeno tonight because he has yet to get a walk, but I guess I'll have to hold off.
  15. He won the towel-throwing game 3-2. He earned CY Young Honors from the Stimulated Baseball League. stimulated? hmmmm :wink: No wonder he likes to go on the DL so much!
  16. Greg Maddux is...The Professor. Now if he could only bunt.
  17. Of course, there was baserunner interference. Anything the slightest bit out of the ordinary and those mental morons that run that stuff curl up into a fetal position and start sucking their thumbs.
  18. I guess they've decided they want to get back to the hotel early tonight.
  19. Hasn't Walker gotten off to a hot start in each of his three seasons with the Cubs?
  20. Who doesnt? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neifi_Perez Freddy Bynum? What a pathetic 9th inning. What a pathetic game.
  21. Murton's walk is wasted because he's batting at the back of the line-up. Get it through your thick skull Dusty and move the kid up.
  22. Just be thankful that Lee didn't get hurt out there. Pagan needed to take charge there.
