All things considered..

We’re tied and since the first we’re hitting much better than them.. I still have a good feeling about this game.. Have to win a few ugly ones through a season.

Rotation is not good enough, with or without Zambrano

4/5’s of the rotation are 5 and 6 inning pitchers max. We are in BIG trouble of Ryan Dempster isn’t able to sustain his top flight performance over the first 3 months.

Absolutely MUST add a frontline starting pitcher.

Don't know

Several years back (during Piazza’s prime with the Mets), Skip Caray had an interesting comment on a Braves broadcast: (paraphrase) “You have to like Piazza. He’s just one of the guys. No entourage, no PR guy, he’s just one of the guys. Does interviews willingly, always willing to talk after a loss or a bad game. A true professional.”

While that might have been a bit hyperbolic considering the Bonds entourage at that time, it still says something about him.

He’s thrown heavy innings the last few times out. A CG last time. Just feels like he’s due for a blister or a pulled oblique or something. Its sad though, because he’s a great pitcher when healthy.

he's learning how to pitch

in the majors by pitching in the majors. there’s going to be bumps in the road. Rothschild’s working on his secondary pitches with him. Give the kid time, pitching ain’t easy.

And I think the ump is using one of those magic 8 balls to call balls/strikes.

DeRo is hitting everything hard now,

but he’s still pulling everything. He needs to re-introduce himself to the right side of the diamond.

I thought he stunk and needed to

be dropped in the batting order or to sit out a few days.

Good thing Lou doesn’t listen to some of the geniuses here.

anyone else see

ozzie said if he parted ways with the sox that he would be open to managing the cubs…..next thing you’re gonna tell me is jim edmonds will be a cub, oh wait

by cubswynn on Jun 28, 2008 5:07 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Depends on if Zell keeps the Cubs

He and Ozzie have the same vocabulary, so there wouldn’t be any communication issues.

Ward batting against a LHP....

Murton might as well go back into the clubhouse and order a pizza. Lou’s not going to give him another meaningful AB.

The law of averages at work

A Ram batted .500 against the Sux last week, .000 this week (so far).

Gallagher has 120 pitches

and he’s going to have to pitch in 5 days—no off-day in there. I’m not sure I like this.

He had seven days of rest before this start

so he can be extended a little bit. I’d say he probably won’t pitch in the seventh, however.

I think Lou knows what he’s doing, unlike some other previous Cubs managers.

Luck doeessn't matter....

bottom line is the Sox now have MORE runs than the Cubs…and that sucks

yea...and

the starting pitching is not looking very good

The bullpen can’t sshut people down

Look another runner stranded at 3rd…..

Take the f'en bat off your shoulder.....

3 things really irritate me….

Pitchers who can’t find the strike zone

And RUNNERS LEFT ON BASE….

we are doing this without rj, big z, sori, eyre…..

if we do go through a slump right now, it won’t be “the skys falling”

i think this is gonna be the tone of al’s recap

Trouble is.....

Shakey starting staff minus Z outta that equation….joke of a starting staff

Soriano “a joke leaddoff hitter”....me not thinks so…..look at ccub record w/ vs. w/o Soriano.

Santo's socks...

Ron was traded December 1973 and so played an inconsequential year with the Sox in ‘74.
