heh, it seems like most of you guys hate Zambrano i personally love the guy, the amount of emotion he shows shows me how much he wants to win and than that 136 pitch complete game he threw was showing he is willing to put the team on his back and end the slide. Any guy with that emotion and will to win is on my favorites list... besides didnt he say before he was a white sox fan? mebe ozzie can sneak him over once his contract is up Im not 2 scared about Maddux but Prior can shut us down easy. One good thing is their offense has been as pathetic as ours... so our pitchers should be good.... just pitch around Derrick Lee

I was always a big BJ Armstrong fan too, I dont know why i hardly remember watching him play much but he was one of my favorite bulls during the Jordan era

Lopez started off strong but i think he has struggled his last couple of outings... so les get it done.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 13, 2005 -> 06:48 AM) Unless they're traded at the deadline. Well unlike Jeremy Reed... KW and Ozzie really seem to have taken a big liking to Anderson and Sweeney... even after Reed's great season we heard more about Sweeney and Anderson.

Well in Tampa i think he actually swung at a 1st pitch strike... so maybe he is begining to turn it around..... I just hope Konerko and Dye figure things out soon because we going to need them.

I love Hawk and DJ... and i love Hawk Robin and DJ even more.... but i havent found one team that can stand our announcers lol.... they have to be some of the most hated announcers from other teams in mlb.

Yeah having 3 guys in the booth is awesome... especially a fan favorite like Ventura. I hope they do it many times during the year because it was nice listening to all of them together. On to the game, Cy Garland!!! that K to Tejada was truly amazing...also im really liking this Podsenick, Iguchi, Rowand top of the order... mebe when Carl comes back he could slide into the 4th spot and Konerko 5th until he figures out things.

QUOTE(hi8is @ May 13, 2005 -> 12:36 AM) maggs and carlos both like to eat poo I think you might have an obsession with poo Were you forced to eat some during your childhood?

with a top 10 pick you want to take a guy you can draft for sure... but at 15 with no 2nd round pick or supplemental picks.... I hope they would risk Weaver or Drew if the opportunity comes.

Hey we are showing a lot more skin as it is now than we ever have before. My theory: Religion is at a low point.... still many many many people religious but its not as big as it was before and lots of people dont go to church or care that much. And I think as time goes on, less and less people will care about religion... it will be big for a long time... but its on the decline.

I think in baseball you draft for talent over need... That said i think we did a really good job signing all our guys last year... only like 2 of them werent signed and one was KW's son.... So I hope they take the best player available regardless of their agent.

there was a huge lightning storm in the morning yesterday and cubs still played later on... les see if its still raining at 2:00-3:00 before getting worried.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ May 12, 2005 -> 03:33 AM) as a hitter Mike Hampton>>>>>Timo Perez Thats a bit over-board :headshake I still say he has to be the one who goes down when Frank returns though... Its either him or willie harris

Id say keep Contreras now because while we have the luxury of B-Mac, its very possible one of our starters get injured and than we would be screwed again. During the off season though id love for us to move him for a guy like adrian gonzalez and maybe we could get a bullpen arm too. If we traded him to Arizona that Lyon kid seems pretty good, but dont know anyone in their minors.

Yeah i trust Politte with that 8 inning role now fully... One thing im not happy with is I think Ozzie is hurting Cotts. One hit or one walk and he is always taken out of the game, and than someone like Luiz Vizcaino totally struggles and is left in to mess up big time..... I think Ozzie needs to show more trust in Cotts and let him get himself out of an inning.

Yeah Politte and Hermason have been our bullpen stoppers.... Im convinced that Shingo has been figured out and Vizaino has done anything but impress me. Im still on Marte... he has pitched well but it always seem like close calls.

Yeah Oliver Perez is great in that game, too bad he is struggling so much this year in real life. But his slider in that game just dominates the competition... I dont know if you guys have seen it yet, but the cubs park looks really nice in MVP.. yesterday was first time i played in it and it is one of the better looking parks in the game.

Ozzie is really not good with the bullpen, Cliff was dominating out there... and with marte getting hit off of Huff last night... no reason to take Cliff out. But in the end we still won .... No more domes for a long long time

If Dye is still sucking by the all star break i say trade them both and get a good RP and mebe some prospects and call up Anderson... He brings the defense and he really cant hit worse than Dye is now. He would move Rowand to RF so we would have tremendous range in the field.

How many HR's is that for Chris Young.... didnt he hit a bunch of them last year?

Stick with Dye until the all star break at least, if he is still sucking as much as he is now figure something out. Either have Everett play RF or call up Anderson if he is stilling hitting what is it .330 in AAA.

well maybe the lineup change wont be that dramatic but still, my point is right now the only 2 things holding us back are Konerko and Dye.... and while we are 24-8 which is more than i expected at this time... I think something needs to be done with those 2 if we want to keep it up. Maybe just a Rowand to the 3rd hole and Everett to the 4th spot will fix it up. Worse thing is Dye is hurting us with his bat and glove

As of right now I have my starters penciled in as: C: Pudge Rodriguez 1B: Mark Texiera 2B: Alfonso Soriano SS: Miguel Tejada 3B: A-Rod OF: Ichiro OF: Vlad OF: Sheffield DH: Manny SP: Randy Johnson/Johan Santana as for the sox... Id say Buehrle has become rather popular and should get in, so should Garland.... and than it depends if the AL carries three 2B or not if Iguchi gets in because Roberts will for sure. But my best guess is Garland and Buehrle.

While yesterdays loss was very dissapointing especially hitting wise, I tried not getting 2 angry I mean we are 24-8 cant really be that dissapointed. But that said Dye is pissing me off more and more, although he had a good series in toronto and Konerko is almost worthless with the exception of that 1 game in toronto. If Konerko keeps struggling I think we might need a new lineup change something among these lines. Podsenick Iguchi Rowand Everett Uribe Pieryznski Konerko Dye Crede

I still say we get Mike North up there or how about Frank Thomas doing some announcing since he cant play anyways.
