April 12, 200422 yr Yes, sadly, Im watching the game. Not because I care about the Cubs, I'm actually interested in watching a couple of players on the Pirates - Mainly Kris Benson, I'm interested in seeing him pitch. I also like their SS Wilson, and the catcher Jason Kendall. I hope Benson dominates today.

April 12, 200422 yr Author Bako tries to pull a Miguel Olivo throw to second, and he throws it into center.
April 12, 200422 yr Author Bases loaded, 1 out in the top of the second for the Pirates, as Maddux walks the pitcher, who was trying to bunt, showing the bunt before the pitch was even thrown. It should be 3-0 right now, Maddux got lucky that the wind is blowing in or else he would have given up a homer to Kendall. Sac fly, 1-0 Pirates! Gapper Double! WOOH! 2-0, Wilson Double!
April 12, 200422 yr Author WOOH! Kendall with a rip up the middle, two runs score, 4-0 Pirates? WELCOME HOMER GREG! :finger :finger :finger :fthecubs
April 12, 200422 yr Author All the pathetic Cub fans, half not even watching the game, just talking, the other half paying attention with a gloomy look, and then theres a good portion of fans with their "Welcome Home Maddux!" signs. LOL, Maddux almost hits Mondesi in the head! WOOH! KENDALL STEALS SECOND, THE BALL GOES INTO LEFT FIELD, KENDALL GOES TO THIRD AND GOES HOME AND BEATS THE THROW! 5-0 PIRATES!!!
April 12, 200422 yr This is great. let the drinking begin. MAddux should never have come back the these f***ers.
April 12, 200422 yr Author Would Kendall be a possibility at the trade deadline? I know he carries a pretty hefty contract, but he's a very underrated player who is continually solid. Last year, he had a .399 OBP with a .325 Batting Average! Thoughts?
April 12, 200422 yr Man this is too rich. I'm starting to enjoy this day off for our sox to see these f***ers lose!!
April 12, 200422 yr Man this is too rich. I'm starting to enjoy this day off for our sox to see these f***ers lose!! My friend was excited to see Ryne play. She was crushed when I informed her, he has not played for 8 years.
April 12, 200422 yr I like MO, there is no catcher coming here. Ditto here. Why would you want a guy who carries a loaded contract and is getting old from a guy who has a staller arm, is going to get better, and is probably a future all star? Also who is getting paid 3 times as less as Kendall. The only Buc I could see us getting is Benson, if not Kip Wells if the pirates are in last place at the deadline, but that might not happen.
April 12, 200422 yr Author Three errors this inning - wow, the Cubs get to play these guys 18 times this year, they ought to win about 15 of them...
April 12, 200422 yr Pirates look like a little league team out there on defense. Three errors so far on the inning. Does anyone still think the NL Central Pirates are tougher than Cleveland or Detroit??
April 12, 200422 yr Author Ditto here.

Yeah, I hope we get Kipper back, but I wouldn't be against getting Benson. Benson would be our fourth or fifth starter, so he'd have a lot of pressure taken off. He also has some nice stuff - he's got a pretty good slider, a nice pitch that runs away from lefties (two-seamer?). Does he have a change? Tom Goodwin blows.
