Greg The Bull Luzinski

Zambrano is leaving the ball up more this inning and they are driving the ball out of the infield. Could be a good sign.

Let's start a Zameltdown here!

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:51 PM) Even with a healthy Hudson, Tracy, and Big Unit....I still don't know how they'd make the playoffs. SHould they win the World Series, it would not be a stretch to nickname them the 21st century Hitless Wonders.

I just look at the D'backs line up and think, how the hell is this team in the playoffs? How did they win 90 games when they are offensively retarded?

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:40 PM) Can we wait until if they make the WS? I want to see Jericho's return on Sunday. Just as long as we do it during the NLCS. I love telling Cubs fans that the last time the Cubs were in the World Series, major leaguers were chasing Hitler to his final goosesteps around Europe.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:40 PM) Disclaimer....we're kidding. Think Homeland Security is watching Soxtalk? On a side note, EAT s*** CUBS HITTERS!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:38 PM) If we take out the team, we need one more person to take out Ron Santo. It's not a hard mission....you can beat him up with his legs. He would look great skiing out of the press box on those wooden legs.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:37 PM) Me and my two brothers are in. I think we can get WHarris. ... well than the napalm hits Wrigely around first pitch on Sunday.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:33 PM) In this year of nothing going right for people like you and me, it figures the best team in the NL has nothing on offense. Yeah, I guess it is time for plan B. Time to start working on that mass murder/suicide pact that is going to get us Greg the Bull and Fathom statues on the CF concourse at the Cell.

Given: Zambrano, despite swinging like a girl, will have as many hits as any other Cubs player tonight.

Thatta boy, make fat ass throw lots of pitches.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:28 PM) over/under on how many pitches Soriano sees throughout the entire game? Or Zambano's pitch total ... I say about 120.

Think the D'backs have a scouting report on Theriot yet? ie, Bust his ass inside.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:22 PM) Not to ruin the humor, but I think Clark was drafted the same year as Chipper Jones. Just seems like he has been passed around like a joint and I can't remember any of those years being good since he left Detroit.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:19 PM) Terrible at-bats after the leadoff single. I really don't think Clark is a good match-up against Zambrano, as he's overmatched against good fastballs. I don't care if they have no power....#3 and 4 hitters should be hacking on 3-0 with a RISP. IS there anybody that Tony Clark is actually a good match up against?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 09:17 PM) No sarcasm at all. Eric Byrnes is hitting third -- that says a lot. Zambrano is going to the mouth (and to the crotch, and to the forehead, among other things) after every pitch. I thought that was illegal unless the temperatures were frigid? Brain freeze?

I can't believe Tony Clark is still playing. Is he Julio Franco's age?

If Young has a monster MVP like series, the trade is almost worth it ...

Thunderstruck Don't Stop Believing ... we need a D'backs rally song.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:55 PM) Damn, Pinella is starting Soto, not Kendall? Intelligent bastard. Yeah, but where is Pinella's Darin Erstad? It's a Grinder-Free Zone.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:54 PM) You could probably add Derek Lee and Miguel Cabrera to your list of those who have pwned the cubs in the playoffs, Greg I was shooting for the MVP-ish/freak play of each series. Beckett best fits that for the Marlins series. Besides, adding Derek Lee would be like adding Josh Pall to a White Sox world series heros list. It just dosen't seem right.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:38 PM) Too awesome. That's Gold I love how Soxtalk is decked out in anit-cub propaganda this time of year. It reminds me of Christmas.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:29 PM) You would recall right. Maybe I should cubs hat it before the game starts. Or maybe switch Crede's face with Steve Bartman's.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 3, 2007 -> 08:19 PM) Changed my avatar for the first time in 2 years in anticipation. Now as I recall, you put a Angels hat on the choking Crede after the White Sox lost Game 1 in the ALCS. After Crede had the Angels hat, the Angels did not win another game. Is putting a D'Backs hat on Crede a dangeorus move?

As much as it may defy logic, I fear this is the Cubs year. Cubs over Indians in 6 games.
