Comments

Theriot was a late scratch due to back spasms...available to pinch hit according to wgn and Corey P.

Why is Soriano doing that little "leap" on his fly ball catches? I'm afraid it's going to cost us at some point.

Someone said Len said it was cramping re: Zambrano. If that's true, I can't fathom how the guy can't take care of himself like a normal human being...

They think it's forearm cramping again.........Hey Z, four words.......Ice Moutain Spring Water

Pat reports the same. This has gotten beyond ridiculous with him, but he has no business staying in in a game like this this late in the season.

Ronny Cedeno just may have earned him a spot on the playoff roster. Certainly Monroe has shown nothing.

Cedeno needs to be on our post season roster. I think he might be our answer to lefty pitching.

whole crowd doing the chop…classic…ha, ha. ------------------------------------------- Reminds me of the 2003 NLDS. Of course, that was just a rare case of mass sarcasm.

Do any of you really think that Z really had cramps? Lou wanted to pull him once it got to 6-0 and put in Wood, but Kerry takes a long time to warm up. Voila! Z "cramps" again... It may be too early to stick a fork in the Brewers, but it's time to finally yank it out of the Cardinals' heart.

Jeez, the Cubs are acting like a juggernaut. If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up.

Nice to see the good guys whipe the floor with the non-contenders just like they should. Two out of three in Miami and Cincy and we're in, no matter what the Brewers do/

june 20th...8 games out of 1st july 1st...6.5 games out of 1st sept 23rd (happy bday to me)...3.5 games *IN* 1st :)

Cubs Playoff Roster (I predict): P -- Z, Lilly, Marquis, Hill, Dempster, Howry, Marmol, Eyre, Wuertz, Wood, Hart. C -- Kendall, Soto IF -- Lee, DeRosa, Ramirez, Theriot, Fontenot, Ward, Cedeno OF -- Soriano, Jones, Floyd, Murton, Pie Trachsel, Marshall and Gallagher are not as suited well to relief as Hart, Pignatiello too inexperienced, and Ohman not effective. Cedeno bat heating up and Soto has outplayed all catchers let alone Blanco since his recall. Also, I don't believe Blanco is still healthy. Monroe hasn't shown anything special with the bat, and Pie has been the late inning OF defensive specialist.

Some gems from the prediction contest: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ mannytrillo says: April 2nd, 2007 at 7:57 am My official Cubs record prediction 83-79. A very nice improvement, but considering the Cubs spent $300+ million this offseason and have roughly a $120 million payroll this year and how weak the NL Central and NL overall is, not too good. Tiebreaker answer: Jim Hendry finally gets fired October 4th after again not making the playoffs. Bye Bye Jim……. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ST went ahead and predicted some things as well, a Batting Title for Rickie Weeks and a Cy Young award for Jason Schmidt.

"John Boccabella — September 23, 2007 @ 2:56 pm Jeez, the Cubs are acting like a juggernaut. If I’m dreaming, don’t wake me up." Boccabella? You got a purty mouth.

Why is Soriano doing that little “leap” on his fly ball catches? I’m afraid it’s going to cost us at some point. He claims it forces him to "focus" on easy plays.

ST went ahead and predicted some things as well... a Cy Young award for Jason Schmidt. ======= ROFLMAOX3/44

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it
