About the crowd in Arizona acting like they were dead. I was wondering if Wrigley was that much different because I am going to my first Cub’s game at Wrigley for the first game of the Houston series. But, DAMN there is so much a difference just sitting here in the lazy boy listening to the crowd.

so i have a question....remember last time Z pitched

him and Geo got into it a little bit. do you think Hank will be his personal catcher now ? was that normal differences between catcher and pitcher? if this has been discussed previously, im sorry, i missed it

i hope not.....i just remembered during the ASG when Z threw that pitch to Manny Ramirez

and Soto said Z sometimes pisses him off….maybe the duration of the season is getting to them….you are right he was probably tired…he didnt get much rest
