Submitted by Rob G. on

And we do it again. Here are the lineups for Opening Day 2010. Parachat is up and running as it will throughout every game of the season(you can access it via the menu bar above). You do have to register and it is a different registration than your TCR account.

*Fukudome RF Prado 2B
Lee 1b # C. Jones 3B
Ramirez 3B *McCann C
Byrd CF Glaus 3B

2006 @ Cincinnati: Cubs win 16-7, Z can't get through 5 innings after hitting 105 pitches finishing with 4.2 IP, 5 ER, 5 BB, 5 K

2007 @ Cincinnati: Cubs lose 5-1, Z makes it through 5 innings on 92 pitches and gets the loss. 5 IP, 5 ER, 5 BB, 2 K

2008 vs. Milwaukee: Cubs lose 4-3 in extra innings but Z pitches a shutout through 6.2 IP before being lifted at 85 pitches. 6.2 IP, 5 K, 1 BB, 0 ER.

2009 @ Houston: Cubs win 4-2 and Z beats Roy Oswalt on 97 pitches and 6 innings. 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 BB, 6 K.

But in all seriousness, I don't care for the Cub's and Cub fan's unhealthy obsession with batting average. It doesn't really matter if the guy can actually PLAY baseball in cubbieland, as long as he hits 300, sign him up. If the Cubs are done in at some point this year, I'll blame that.

Of course, Vlad breaks it the very next hitter after I post it. Ahhh, gotta love baseball superstitions.

Well, that was fun for a half inning. Damn Z, you are such a buzz-kill.

OUCH! Heyward goes yard, down 6-3 and Z has gotten only one guy out. Is this still Spring Training?

Submitted by B Rock on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 04:58 pm

No expectations for this year and its only one game but.... Man, Carlos Zambrano is really no better then an average #2 starter on a good team. Hard to blame him given the level of use over the years but really he's a shadow of the pitcher we saw in the 2004 and 2005 seasons.

Submitted by Rob G. on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 04:50 pm

man on first, McLouth all-out dive, drops ball when he hits the ground, and no one sees it except Aramis who takes 2nd base. They call him and Byrd out for a double play.

Submitted by WISCGRAD on Mon, 04/05/2010 - 04:23 pm

Zambrano sucked. Samardzija in his usual fine form. Defense has been terrible, bobbles in the outfield, bad relays, etc. It's like they are not ready yet to play.

at least the other relievers have looked ok. Russel has a nice deep cutting thingy that I don't know what is because I don't pretend to. Looks like a nasty sinker or something. When I played baseball I couldn't hit anything that even dared to drop at the plate like that. Oh, and I don't mean, like college baseball or anything, just little league. Baseball murdered my confidence until about last year.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    5 IN A ROW!

    hack wilson, ryne sandberg, sammy sosa, christopher morel, and michael busch.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks

    suzuki 10d IL.

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    Seiya on IL with an oblique strain

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...

    I'll always remember his 3-0 No-hitter against the Braves when Aaron's HR was blown back into the LF well and BIlly Williams made the catch with his back against the ivy.
