I expect a high scoring game
Zambrano is rested, I hope Lou lit a fire under our players’ asses, and we are gonna score score score in this hot weather.

Your 2008 Missouri Tigers! #6 1-0 (0-0). Next up Saturday home vs. SEMO. We might drop 100 points on them.

Was thinking earlier
I wonder if Yost is so pissed about the 1 hitter against Sabathia b/c he knows that MARQUIS threw a 5 hitter against them… doesn’t want CC to think he’s only 4 hits less than Marquis… fragile self esteem and all that.

Good start Big Z
Your 2008 Missouri Tigers! #6 1-0 (0-0). Next up Saturday home vs. SEMO. We might drop 100 points on them.
Pinella is a genious
Not only did Z get some extra time off but so did Harden.
And while I dont often give him Credit Marquis pitched decently yesterday.
I think Harden is going to be the key to us down the stretch

Your 2008 Missouri Tigers! #6 1-0 (0-0). Next up Saturday home vs. SEMO. We might drop 100 points on them.

They've made the least errors
I know thats NOT how you should measure defense, but that doesn’t stop people from doing it.

The funny part is how that's generally a sign of a mediocre team defense...
…because it means they don’t make all that many plays to begin with.
You know that. I know that
but the “experts” still like to use E’s as a measuring stick…
Brewer fans are still touting Braun for the Gold Glove.

i can't get the image of fat elvis
running off the field like a girl (sorry girls) during the lightening storm
I don't mind it being used......
most of the time when a guy uses it, he tends to run like one himself. so I figure it all evens out.

I hate it
when I have to root for the Mets (but enjoying the Mets announcers saying how the Breswers are a bad a defensive team.
Beltran just hit a 3-run dinger. 5-1 Mets!

Wrigley hasn't had much energy this entire homestand
"This is why Major League Baseball does not need instant replay, because then every single play will then be reviewed." -- Joe Morgan, 5/18/08, referring to an umpire ruling a Carlos Delgado homerun foul when replays showed it hit the foul pole.
If going to Wrigley was "church"
I’d go every day.
