RME JICO Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...ce=MLBHeadlines The Central champs are a trendy pick to win the pennant in a wide-open National League. In Game 1 of the NLDS at Arizona, ace Carlos Zambrano tosses six innings and just 85 pitches, but manager Lou Piniella opts to save him for Game 4 and makes the controversial move to the bullpen. Carlos Marmol gives up a home run to the first batter he faces, breaking a 1-1 tie. From there, the Diamondbacks cruise to a three-game sweep. On the bright side, Zambrano will be well rested for Opening Day. Article talks about every year since they won their last World Series. They also include players they passed up on in drafts, etc. Pretty funny stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im so sick of hearing about the f***ing cubs. Eh, it's baseball history, and I'm finding it entertaining. I mean, they give this summary of an inning in 1929 in game 4 of the World Series with the Cubs up 8-0: home run, single, single, single, single, pop out, single, new pitcher, inside-the-park home run, walk, new pitcher, single, single, new pitcher, hit by pitch, double. There's some beauty in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're making the Cubs look more pathetic and having a good laugh at it. I sure as s*** don't want the Cubs to win the World Series because of that.

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 How many people have gone to their grave without seeing the CUbs win the world series. I will die a happy man if I can live long and never have to see the Cubs win the big one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 It's too bad the Sox didn't make a multi-year off to Kerry Wood. He'd look great in the bullpen, as he's throwing 99-100 mph right now. I know he's a huge injury risk...but so is Dotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Well, now that the Red Sox and White Sox have won the World Series...there's no one with more futility other than the Cubs. Soooooo...that's why ESPN is talking about them. They aren't winning the World Series this year. Not with Lilly, Marquis and Dempster in the rotation.

I think he's an asshole, but he's a very competent starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 29, 2008 -> 05:55 PM) There is nothing wrong with him. He just isn't a #2 starter for a contending team. Not when you have guys like Myers, Haren, Pedro/Maine as #2 starters across the league. Pedro/Mayne ... did you forget a guy named Santana?

YASNY Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 29, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) No, I didn't. I was going comparing Lilly to other teams #2 starters in the NL. It can be argued who the true #2 is in New York. Well, I'm watching the Sox/Mets game as we speak ...DVR ... and they referenced Mayne as the #4 for the Mets. Santana, Pedro, Perez and then Mayne... though they did question Perez over Mayne for the #3 slot. But considering that mayne started this game, I'd say that defines him as the #4 starter. So Santana and Pedro are 1 and 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I could give a rat's ass about the Cubs. NL Central - Brewers (Can't pick the Cubs - it's Un-American) There's a political joke in there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
