The Calm After The Storm: Cubs vs. Padres, Thursday 5/14, 1:20 CT

The Cubs are 19-14 after 33 games of what seems like daily turmoil; after 33 games last year they were ... 19-14. They can move into a first-place tie today if they win and the Brewers and Cardinals lose; they'd be 20-14, tied with the Reds, who have the day off. Sunshine and blue skies await the Cubs and Padres this afternoon.
Many of us wondered during the offseason why Henry Blanco, who did a good job for four years as the Cubs' backup catcher, wasn't re-signed to a new deal for 2009. Paul Sullivan found out that Henry was puzzled, too:
"You're asking the wrong guy," Blanco said. "I don't know either. We did everything we could, but it didn't happen. I'm here now. It's a bit different, but that's the name of the game. I did everything I could, but it happens."
So no hard feelings?
Blanco paused a second.
"Not really," he finally replied. "I still have a job. Of course I miss these guys a lot, but I have to get used to my new team now."
The article goes on to say that Blanco hopes to manage when his career is over. I hope it's in the Cubs organization. He strikes me as the kind of guy who will make an excellent coach or manager. While Koyie Hill has done a good job backing up Geovany Soto, it's possible that Blanco not being here -- he was an outstanding mentor to Soto the last couple of years -- might be one reason for Geo's slow start.
Carlos Zambrano threw in the bullpen yesterday without incident and will make a minor league rehab start for Daytona; it will either be on Saturday at Clearwater or Sunday at Dunedin. If all goes well -- and there doesn't seem to be any reason it wouldn't -- he'll return to the major league rotation a week from tomorrow, Friday, May 22 at San Diego.

Mr. Weird Chin Hair, Chad Gaudin, will be making his first start against the team that unceremoniously dumped him at the end of spring training. Only a handful of Cubs have ever faced him -- Aaron Miles is 3-for-5 against him. Gaudin hasn't allowed a homer in his three starts this year -- the wind is supposed to be blowing out to right field today, so maybe a couple of the Cubs' lefthanded hitters can change that stat. Patience will help -- Gaudin has walked 10 in 17.2 innings. (Chad looks a little pixellated because the only photo I could find of him in a SD cap is a little smaller than the size I usually use in the pitcher box, so I had to expand it to fit.)
This isn't an excuse, but as you can imagine, the fact that his new baby has serious health problems may be weighing on Ryan Dempster's mind and thus, his performance so far this year. He has gone at least six innings in all seven of his starts so far, and is 6-3, 3.82 lifetime vs. San Diego. Brian Giles has owned him -- 16-for-36 (.444) with 4 doubles, a triple and 2 HR.
Today's game is on CSN only -- no San Diego TV. For today's other games see the MLB.com Mediacenter.

I have a die hard redwings fan wanting to bet on the not quite official Hawks wings series
Wants to bet 100 on each game and 300 on the series. So if the hawks were to sweep, that would be $700. Advice?

Accept now...
… but on the condition that if the Wings don’t win in, it counts as a sweep!
FWIW, i think we’d MUCH rather play the Ducks. We’d get home ice, and the wings can’t be beat in Detroit.

They are a good playoff team but if the WIngs are firing on all cylinders its gonna be a real tough series

It'd be about the only way to even the odds...
… straight up, with Detroit having home ice advantage, their record on that ice, and their record against the hawks this season, i wouldn’t like that bet one bit.

But the Hawks have looked great in the playoffs, beat Luongo, and had no problem scoring
They also get about 4 more days of rest

Detroit plays better hockey
and much better defense. They also will not care about trying to bully us, which the other teams figured that by being a bunch of bulies, the young Hawks would get flustered and lose their concentration.

regarding being beat in Det
we won the last two games of the season vs Detroit, including one in Detroit.
This young Hawks team will take Detroit 6 or 7 with a toss up for the outcome IMO. Anaheim will try to bully the Hawks more like Vancouver or Calgary, where Detroit will play hockey and see who has the better skilled team

+1
Detroit can play better hockey than the Ducks, and they wont make the mistakes Tim has mentioned about bullying the Hawks. It will go to a game 7 most likely though if they do play Detroit.
Man these hockey playoffs are amazing compared to NBA that has been meh so far (cept for bulls celts)

during the regular season
you bully Kane and he broke like a curveball from Lilly. The post season he finally grew some short and curlies and has been able to play thru and man up. That has been a huge difference maker.
Detroit is like a machine. They just win, and are hated for one reason only, they win. They are compared to the Lakers or Yankees due to their winning traditions, but they are nothing like the other two. They are a organization that is easy to respect and they play the game right.

a few things
a. As a new Hawks fan, I want the Wings.
The Ducks are no “better” or “worse” than the wings.c. The Hawks have won in Joe Louis this season.
It’s also the Playoffs. A completely different aminal for this supposedly-inexperienced team.

Red Wings are a very good team
very sound fundamentally, they will skate more then try to provoke, and are a much bigger challange than Vancouver / Calgary were.
Date Visitor Home Score
Sat Oct 25, 2008 Red Wings Blackhawks6 – 5 Shoot Out Loss
Sat Dec 6, 2008 Blackhawks Red Wings 4 – 5 Shoot Out Loss
Tue Dec 30, 2008 Blackhawks Red Wings 0 – 4 Loss
Thu Jan 1, 2009 Red Wings Blackhawks (Wrigley Field) 6 – 4 Loss
Sat Apr 11, 2009 Blackhawks Red Wings 4 – 2 Win
Sun Apr 12, 2009 Red Wings Blackhawks 0 – 3 Win
So for the season, we were 2 W 4L and out scored 23-20 in the process. It is a risky bet, but not one that would be impossible to obtain.

Sunday I do believe will be game 1 of the Conference Finals. Will be at home vs Pronger and Anaheim (Pronger has owned the hawks thru his career when he was with St Louis), or against out #1 Rival, and fellow Original Six team, Detroit in Detroit.
For those who were not here, we had a nice Blackhawks Game Thread, and I plan to have another one Sunday, so feel free to join us there.

I would be too. The Cubs are one of the best, and the Padres, probably the worst or close to the worst in all of baseball. I’d be smitten if he came and coached for the Cubs after his playing career is over.
Dempster’s given up at least 2 runs in all 7 of his starts this year. He gave up two homers to the Suds last week. Com’on, Demp, let’s shut ’em out today.

Did you see that knucklehead umpire pushing Magglio Ordonez out of the batters box in last night’s Det/Minn game? What the hell was he thinking? He sure as heckfire better be suspended for a game or two for that.

Ordonez was arguing

Maggs wasn't happy with the called
3rd strike and had a few words with the HPU who then evidently decided he had had enough and decided to help usher Ordonez back to his dugout by putting his arm on his back and attempting to guide him away. Leyland came flying out of the dugout and went bananas on the guy.

I don't see the problem, frankly.
The two sides aren’t supposed to touch each other, I understand that. I don’t think the ump was trying to break a rule…he was trying to do what was best for the game or that particular situation. Nothing about that gesture says “I’m in control here, do what I say.” He was trying to defuse a situation, not create one.

That's not the point!
Schrieber was trying to do a good-will gesture for Ordonez—he was clearly gonna throw the ass outta the game. He was trying to NOT throw him out of the game. This is like a little brat adolescent arguing some petty rule because he’s avoiding the bigger situation at hand. Magglio was being sassy and Paul was giving him a free out so he wouldn’t toss his ass. My buddy in Minnesota was watching the game and said Magglio probably coulda been tossed easily.

If ya wanna give him a quick, “that was your last word, Maggs. Otherwise you’re gone” kinda thing, that’s fine. No need to to “inadvertantly” put your hand on his back and usher him back to the dugout.

This is stupid. I'm glad the game's on.
It’s not to the same degree, but it’s like a good samaritan rule. He was trying to help and is gonna end up getting suspended for it. Magglio was being an ass and deserved to be tossed.

maybe
maybe not. But if we’re going to argue Rules are Rules, then they need to apply to the umps as much as the players.
If a player had put an arm on an agitated ump in an attempt to defuse a situation, that player would be suspended in a heartbeat.

Don't worry: Zambrano won't hustle anymore (well, for a month any day)
From Hardball:
Asked if he had to change his ways now, Zambrano replied: "For a month, yeah. I’ll be running like Geo Soto or Bengie Molina. I’ll be running nice and easy, just taking my time, not hustling.
“I apologize to the Cubs fans for not being (a complete player). It’s one thing to hustle and another thing to not play good. I will perform good, try to do all the things right, but in the running situation I have to take it easy, at least for a month, or until this thing is completely over. Then you’ll see me running like Juan Pierre or Jose Reyes.”
