The Cubs are the only team in baseball this season that has not lost more than two games in a row. Both of yesterday's starting SS get the night off. Can't say I'm too surprised Theriot gets the rest. Game is on ESPN, and the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency and Homeland Security had all asked LouPa to bench Theriot, so as to avoid dangerous levels of exposure to Joe Morgan's patented Grit Pontifications.

Good road trip, great way to finish it off with tonight's solid game from all 3 pitchers---solid starting pitching, set-up , and great 9th by Wood------look's like Cedeno is regressing at the plate, late on fb's, always looking back at umpire when he is gets called out---it all starts with starting pitching so hopefully all 5 will continue the good work--get to the 7th and let the bullpen take over

what a great way to end the road trip, marquis looked surprisingly ok surprised he went into 7th i agree about cedeno he has sucked at plate for 6 weeks know not doing a good job building that trade value. also i think i heard chipper jones would be out for a few games, to bad.

Did anybody read Paul Sullivan's coverage of Zambrano's "outburst" yesterday? I wonder if this is an age thing? I mean, do younger fans get all worked about this? It seems like only fuddy duddy jock sniffers like Sullivan get worked up about it.

I'm not a big fan of Z's tantrum, but I would hope that the other players don't let it affect them. Unless they were waiting for some Gatorade. Then I would understand if they were mad. Sullivan has also been hammering on a really annoying thesis that "the Cubs have turned it around after Lou's dirt-kicking outburst last year." So: Lou tantrum good! Z tantrum bad. Either way, it's the tantrum that's important, not how anybody pitched or hit or fielded or anything. But then, that's tantrumball for you.

imo, the most important thing about the latest round of "Z stupidity" is he at least went after the coolers by kicking and throwing them, not punching them. "But then, that's tantrumball for you." <--- ha.

I thought that was a pretty appropriate tantrum. Kept to the dugout. Didn't hurt anybody. Got rid of some nervous energy and frustration. I punched my couch at home, for goodness sakes, and I wasn't even the one who threw the fat pitch that inning. Or dropped a throw. Or a flyball. Or chucked one down the right field line.

I must have missed that exchange, but I thought the entire thing about Morgan asking Miller who hit the hardest, most consistent line drives was hilarious. Allow me to recap: Morgan: So who do you think hit the hardest, most consistent line drives? Miller: Hmm, good question. Dave Winfield. Morgan: Nope. Miller: What? There aren't any wrong answers to this question. You can't exactly measure it. Morgan: That's incorrect. --- A bunch more bickering ensues about the possibility of an incorrect answer to an unanswerable question based on opinion and observation--- Morgan: It's Al Oliver. Miller: OK, Joe.

that's one thing that pisses me off about those 2. look...quit acting like you're fishing buddies. you're calling a game to the nation...quit doing crap like this every game... joe...jon...im not your friend. everyone likes a good story every now and then, but you guys are not in a fishing boat pissing away time. i have no idea how these guys keep getting marquee work in an era where the booths around baseball are getting younger and "hipper" they are both totally out of 1960s-1970s baseball stories anyway.

I liken Jon Miller to Pat Hughes in demeanor. Except whereas Pat is partnered with a lovable, emotional bumbler, Jon is partnered with an unmitigated ass. Jon chooses to let Morgan go long enough to show he's an idiot and then accedes to end the conversation, not unlike the amusing way Pat sometimes deals with Ron. In the Miller/Morgan case, though, it's infuriating. Next time he's in this situation, Jon should call up RobG and have him give Morgan a good cock punch. /just sayin'

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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

    alzolay...bro...

    wow.  what a blown call.  go cubs, i guess.
