And now Zambrano is pouting and pissed off. He's up to 96 mph, and was at 92 mph before the homer.

Wow, that was a bomb! Dye has made Wrigley look real small the last three years.

Keep chasing that pitch that's a foot in and at your head AJ.

Can we have longer than a 6 pitch inning?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 20, 2007 -> 07:02 PM) Nobody hits a thousand with runners on. Go blow up the team, or something We're not expecting him to deliver every time....it's just disappointing to see him going back to rolling over on almost every pitch again like when he was in that awful slump.

Good job throwing strikes that inning by Masset. Our hitters have to keep focused on Zambrano, as he'll likely get sharper as the game goes on.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 20, 2007 -> 06:59 PM) Should have been 2-0 if f***ing moron wasn't trying to bunt. That was Timo-esque. Even if he got the bunt down, the runner on 3rd wouldn't score. QUOTE(TheOcho @ May 20, 2007 -> 07:00 PM) I would have rather seen Nick bat then bunt. It was the correct call.

Wow....a shocking result from Erstad. He's sure come up clutch the last two games.

Another big AB for Erstad here. He needs to just bloop one into LF.

Great job Uribe!!!! That's the swing he wasn't doing for the last week. Razor did the right thing in taking a chance with the pitcher on deck.

If Uribe K's here, can we just ph Thome?

And how in the hell doesn't PK get to 3rd base there?

Ugh....Detroit and the Twins possibly about to sweep their weekend series.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ May 20, 2007 -> 06:46 PM) Yet we still won't hit him. Would it shock anyone if we got no hit? It would be the capper on this amazing wknd.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 20, 2007 -> 06:46 PM) Well he's the answer to your question. If Masset isn't starting today. It would be Gavin Floyd. If Masset was no longer in the pen, his replacement would be Gavin Floyd. That's why Masset is here. Yeah, I know. When I said it was sad, it was because even after all the moves last offseason, we still don't have anyone in the minors who we can project to come up and start for us this year or next year.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 20, 2007 -> 06:44 PM) Floyd looks awful today in AAA. Wouldn't want to see him in AAAA, that's for sure. Take away "today". He sucks Zambrano has about his "D" stuff today.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 20, 2007 -> 06:42 PM) This is easy. I'll put it on a tee for you: Gavin Floyd What about him? Getting no 2007 MLB ready talent for Garcia was the worst move KW made this whole offseason.

BTW, isn't it amazing how much a well-constructed bench can help your team? The Cubs bench is just phenomenal.

They deserve that run....you can't throw someone out on a pitch out, they deserve to score. Hawk and DJ sound so pissed off. Will someone please tell me why the f*** Masset is in the majors?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 20, 2007 -> 06:39 PM) To be fair, he's only bad at calling games and throwing the ball. Otherwise he's very very good. Actually, I'll defend him. His weak spot is his arm. He's good at blocking and catching. He needs to get better at calling. He's terrible at catching the actual ball. I'd say pitch calling is his biggest strength still. I remember when Hawk used to say how great he was at doing it....now, you never hear that.

QUOTE(PlunketChris @ May 20, 2007 -> 06:36 PM) AJ really showed urgency in getting that throw off there.. He's such a bad defensive catcher.

This is pathetic. I bet Masset showed better control than this in the Winter League.

Haha....they steal successfully on a pitch out. I hate this f***ing team.

The more I think about it, the more it pisses me off that we have no one in the minors we could call up to start this game. All we would have had to do is delay calling up Thome one day, and then send the pitcher down after the game.

This umpire has a small strike zone....that's not good for Masset, as well as our group of hitters that aren't patient. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 20, 2007 -> 06:33 PM) And here we have Masset's problem...throwing strikes and staying ahead in the count. I thought it was getting out major league hitters?
