QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 11:26 PM) You know what,that could turn into him missing a month and a half in regards to the Cub organization.They are great at the "mystery pain" kind of injury that drags out for an extended period of time. I heard they expect him to face the Sox next weekend in all likelihood.

Shoulder strain for Zambrano, nothing serious....shocking!

Zambrano will be fine. He leaves about 5 starts every season due to some type of shoulder or elbow or forearm discomfort.

Since Ozzie foolishly decided not to bunt, here's what really irks me: what in the hell was Thome's plan at the plate? In that situation, you better be trying your hardest to hook the pitch. His swing was so late on that 98 mph inside fastball, he gave himself no chance to advance the runner.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) Don't tell me what you hit, tell me when you hit. Leading off the 9th in a tie game is a bad thing? With the jet stream going out to center, how were CQ and Anderson's not gone?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 09:28 PM) watch the replay...it was a fastball low and away...ramirez was clearly leaning out over the plate looking fastball (as the cubs were all game) and he crushed it Aramis is one of the best clutch hitters in all of baseball. In that situation, he's about as dangerous as it gets.

How about our relievers stop giving up walkoff homers? That's four in our last 7 road games.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) Except for 3 or 4 games this year, Dotel has pretty much been unhittable. The 7th inning is his. The 8th would have been Linebrink's and the 9th would have been Jenks'. It didn't work out. It doesn't always. I don't like Ozzie as a manager, but I can't fault him today. The only move I'd question is not having someone bunt Anderson into 3rd base, especially with OC on deck.

Cubs are the greatest home team I've ever seen. They must be outscoring teams by 100 this season in the 7th inning after the stretch.

Oh Carl!

Quite the meltdown by Marmol. Two walks, two HBP in the 4 batters he faced. All that, and the umpire was giving him some very generous strike calls.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 11:46 PM) I actually like Len Kasper as an announcer, but he just said that he was glad they didn't make the rumored Brian Roberts deal because he likes what Cedeno and Gallagher have brought to the team. Gallagher's been very good for them, and with the way their offense has been, I'd rather have the young starting pitcher. Not only that, it gives them more depth to trade for someone like C.C.

I have to go to meetings more often. From 8-7 to 13-7!

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 07:41 PM) I want to know where were you really sir?!!!!Meeting,yah right. Actually, I was from 1:30 to 2:30. The ironic thing is I actually expected the Sox to be back in the game when I returned from the meeting.

QUOTE (north side chi sox fan @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 07:40 PM) Cubs fans lined up outside hospital.. joke?? I think they were more saying I'm obsessed with rooting against the Cubs, so I would be there.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 08:37 PM) They were making jokes about you while you were gone.............................................am I a snitch? I didn't see it, what were they saying?

I like this...go to a meeting down 6-0, and return and it's tied!

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jun 19, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) GMAFB...it's like you wait every start to say this s*** Oh can it, I root for Gavin and think he's actually a good pitcher. However, I don't care if an error was made or not, you can't give up 6 runs to the Pirates (especially the bottom of the order).

Gavin is crashing back down to earth. Ozuna is just such a worthless player.

Ozuna just needs to get released. Uribe is a superior defender, so why not have him at 3rd today?

Great game to go to. Does anyone know why the helicopters were circling the park after home runs?

OC, Ramirez, CQ, Thome, Dye, Swish, Crede, BA, Toby

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 06:06 PM) Sorry guys, I should have used green for my post, I thought it was obvious. I love Quentin, and there isn't that much I would trade him for. I think he is going to be a yearly all-star, and the Sox 3 hitter for years to come. There is a reason I have a Quentin jersey, and it wasn't to trade him for a light hitting 2B Fair enough...but whenever a player goes into a slump, there's always people who want to run him out of town (myself included).

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Jun 18, 2008 -> 06:55 PM) I know I might get blasted for this, but I would do Quentin for Roberts straight up in a second. And there's a reason you'd get blasted.
