This is going to be the pattern for now, at least -- the overflow thread goes up 1 1/2 hours after game time. Let me know how this is working.

Works good Al
Putting the overflow up just before Soriano comes up is a great plan.

I'm sorry...
But I don't like this outfield configuration tonight. I feel much more comfortable with Sori-Pie-Dome

I know Ward needs ABs...
But we're sacrificing a LOT of defense out there, probably cost us 2 runs tonight.

So you will need to sit either Pie, Dome or both

It's not just you
I posted couple down the fact of how Burrell indeed is a Cub killer.

Pat Burrell has entered the pantheon of Cub killers
With his 2 run HR, Burrell has 12 HR's and 32 RBI's with an average of .308 and a stunning OBP of .424 career against the Cubs. Both the Average and OBP are career highs against any opponent (excluding COL) with the OBP not even close.
Here are his career splits and it's amazing how much better his numbers are against the Cubs as opposed to other teams, the definition of a Cub killer.

Make that 33 RBI's
and a Career average of .313 and OBP of .431 against the Cubs. He's entering unchartered territory of the great Cub killers.

The Phils announcers
keep talking about Z's drop in velocity. Has this been normal... 89/90 mph fb?

no...
he is usually in the 92-96 mph range... however, he's slowed it down this year, possibly to increase his control...

Gotta run
Can't win 'em all. Bummer anytime the Cubs lose with Zambrano on the mound though. Hopefully Lilly get's his act together tomorrow against another Cub killer, Cole Hammels.

i feel like the cubs sometimes get
complacent after taking the lead early, like they just shrug it off and say "this will just keep happening", i don't know, maybe i'm wrong, just seems like there are a lot of games where they score in the first, and then that's just about it, but i don't know, maybe it's just pitchers settling in.
