Really Funny,
thats the best that you have. Where did you go to school? I said I was sorry lets stick with the Cubs
Hey man, I'm laughing at the good joke
But honestly, who here DOESN’T know where I went to school? Where does NittanyCub attend school? It’s such a mystery where NittanyCub could have gone; NittanyCub seldom talks about it too.

Well Mr. Smartypants
if you were replying to Joel you should have replied to his comment. You repied to NittanyCub. Notice my reply was to NittanyCub and not you?
Then reply to his comment, not mine, Mr. Baseball.
You just made yourself look even smarter than before, which I didn’t think was possible. That, or you’re backtracking your words because I called you out on a stupid question.

hmm. Soto K's on
an outside pitch too close to take.
"When you have a fat friend there are no see-saws, only catapults." --Demetri Martin
i dont think that was a strike that pitch has been called a ball all day
and then recently it has been a strike
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
Actually you're probably right.
Soto has been behind the plate and all day and has seen the same pitches called a ball.
Lets look at the positives we got the lead time for Gallagher to bear down
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
Gange is out of the closers role

lakers job is better
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
He always seems to have good taste, though.
Doesn’t matter what color their hair is.
Fukudome is really good at cutting off the liner hit into the gap.
Gallagher just got a way with a hanging curve
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
I like his slider, that thing is nasty
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
He is looking pretty good....this might keep Hill
...in Iowa for awhile
Felix Pie must play everyday!
yea.... But we need Hill to get figured out he was good last year...
A rotation of Z Lilly Demp Hill Gallagher would be mighty fine by me
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
agreed...but a good start here
...and Hill can take his time and get it right.
Felix Pie must play everyday!
Where would you put Marquis? The bullpen?
If that scenario works out, I hope they trade him.
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
I would hope they could trade him but if push comes to shove and
he wont pitch nicely both mentally and physically out of the pen DFA him….
Marquis has been a cancer almost everywhere he has been. That being said without him we dont make the playoffs last year.
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
He was out of the rotation last playoffs as well.
I don’t know how much of a valuable asset he is to the Cubs, but it doesn’t seem much. That and his nose is enormous.
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
Gallagher is auditioning today for a spot?
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?
hell yea
and doing a mighty fine job
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
Is it just me or did Gallagher add about 3-4 MPH to his FB
In my prospects guide they had him at 89-92… I am seeing 91-97
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
really???
the first day up he was throwing 95
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
he really should be given a chance to pitch in the roation he might be better than Lieber
or Marquis
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
Looks like
D-Lee let a pickoff attempt get passed him.

2nd Missed Pickoff Throw Today
The first one didn’t cause any damage. Hope this doesn’t.
Gallagher
If I remember correctly ironically wasn’t Z a monster early in his career in a situation like this as an emergency starter.
Gallagher is one funny looking dude.
We are all waiting for that glorious October night when we finally win it all. Until then we will continue to cheer, never do the wave and hope.

Lou has been frustrating lately
complaining about starters not going deep enough in to games. He pulls gallagher after 4.1. The kid needs to face some adversity
and he brings in marmol with a 5 run lead C’mon Lou!

This
is terrible timing, the absolute worse. 3-2 basesloaded in a 2-2 & 3-2 game is not a good time to try to start nibbling

Maybe this was already discussed but I don’t get not starting Zambrano (or the Unit for that matter). This team has been the best in MLB so far this year and the weather never looked like it was going to be a problem after the rain stopped.

he didn't even start because of the rain

Z didn't pitch.
Because of the rain and the chance of it being called early. Johnson didn’t pitche either.
Well, there was a rain delay
so none of the original starters were put on the mound today. Gallagher started for the Cubs, and pitched pretty well, too. He got in a jam, Fox came in, and said to himself “How could I possibly make Gallagher’s ERA go up? OH YEAH I KNOW HOW!!” and then gave up two runs.

To sum up...
Gallagher got the first two outs and the cubs were the best ever.
Then he gave up a run in the first. The cubs and gallagher suck.
Then the Cubs tied it as a run came across on a wild pitch. The cubs manufactured that run and therefore rock.
DLee hit a homer that the wind sliced into the grandstands in right. The cubs are the best team in the league
Gallagher ran out of gas a bit, put some guys on. Fox walked two with the bases loaded. Fox must go (ok, I said this) and Lou is giving the game away by having him throw a second inning.
Gonzalez has had a good day, but that is because the cubs suck.
The world’s skinniest man is coming in to pitch for the snakes in the bottom of the sixth.
Fox picks a guy off! he’s the best ever!
And there you go.

This was a given to set up the DP, that is why they pulled back Ward. Ward will hit for Pie.

So let me ask:
Since we Swept the Mets (Supposedly the best team ever to grace a baseball field) and we swept the D-Backs the best team in Baseball…..
What does that make the Cubs?????

Need to play well vs.
the Padres…. Very interesting to see if Lieber pitches at all in the series. And i personally think if we can get Gallagher stretched out he should pitch…. He did very well today but just got gassed
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
Agreed
It was great what the Cubs did for Gallagher. He was good enough to compete for a spot and very nearly won one. But instead of putting him in the bullpen, we kept him a starter (in the minors). Dempster said he had to train differently to get back into starting shape. After letting Leiber be the long-man, I believe we should continue our plan. And if Gallagher needs bailing out, then here comes Leiber.
So excited now!!!!!!
"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
Good day
It almost feels like a free win with the fact we still get to pitch Z tomorrow. Gotta win 3 of 4 from Padres.
Lets do it Cubbies
No...
gotta not lose more than 1 out of 4 against the worst offense in the NL.
As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Okay, enough with the 'plus' # responses

"I played with one of the best pitchers in history, Greg Maddux," Zambrano said"
Maybe this is a sign
the last 2 times I got into a car and turned on the radio after a major event in the lives of my brother and sister in law the Cubs were winning and the other team won the game as we turned on the radio.
Yesterday we got in the car after a big event in time to hear the rally in the 7th.
We are all waiting for that glorious October night when we finally win it all. Until then we will continue to cheer, never do the wave and hope.
One example
One example is we got in the car just in time to see the homerun in New York in 2004 that started the downfall.

The more I watch the Cards and Brewers, the more I think it really is the Cubs’ division to lose . . . but we’re looking for more, and this weekend was very encouraging.

Cubs Grades for the weekend:
Hitting with RISP: A
Defense: A
Starting Pitching: A
Relief Pitching: A
A most perfect weekend. Winning the series with a sweep of one of the most – if not the most – difficult teams in MLB to sweep.
The only question now is can they continue this kind of play (not sweeps) but good solid play, win or lose, from now until Sept. ?
and we held them to
what, eight runs?
The team with (up until Friday) the most runs in baseball?
