Marcum is 1/3 of the way to the perfect game.

i think andruw will make it 1-0 next time up

On April 30th, his OPS was .779. On April 23rd it was .708. He's having himself a great 2 weeks at the most.

His numbes agre great, Balta. Just becasue he had a slow start does not excuse the fact that's he has an OPS of .927. I won't argue that he'll carry these numbers for the rest of the year, but he has them now.

It would be nice to be suprised by our offense from time to time. We all predicted this all day...and of course it's happening.

I just looked up and saw that it was the 4th inning. This game should be over by 10:00!

It's unreal, it really is. I hope KW learned, and goes with talented guys on our bench next season instead of the 2000 all-star roster.

 

I actually have the inside scoop for next year. Our bench will consist of Ken Griffey Jr, Carl Everett, Sandy Alomar, and Timo Perez (for Ozzie)

BTW, an awful crowd for a Friday night game.

2 games in a row. The stadium was empty last night too.

Where's Carlos Baerga going to fit into the lineup?

Could we at least be like the Indians, Royals and Tigers and have an entertaining offense?

 

Is that too much to ask?

You read it wrong. Jayson Nix is the 25th man, but Alomar gets the majority of the play in the infield. He was a great defender in his prime, and his brother was great so Ozzie goes with his gut and figures, "Why the f*** not?"

I will watch if it's Wil Cordero, Shawn Lil Abner, Paco Martin and Warren The Deacon Newsom.

Wow, Sterlin Castro already with more RBIs than Beckham this season. I hope Gordon enjoyed being the young superstar in this town.

I can't even pick him up in fantasy.. he's not listed in the player directory yet!

Because the Cubs are legendary for not having their young "talent" start off hot and then slump.

Or get brutally hurt.

A Tug Hulett acquisition isn't far off....heck, I'd rather see Ozney Guillen/Oney Guillen batting, or KW JR.

Juan Pierre grounds out to 2nd. The Sun comes out in the morning, the moon at night. Some things never change,

I'd like to see Vizquel bunt to try to break up the perfect game.

Shawon Dunston started off miserably, I do remember that much.

Just retire Omar! Have some pride, and go join Jose Mesa for Celebrity Boxing.

Omar Vizquel strikes out like a champ.

Vizquel makes me miss Willie Harris

good lord....

You and Big Ben Davis would like to see the bunt...

 

Farmer says Marcum is "wicked nasty" with his movement.

 

Vizquel striking out is at least a bit surprising.

 

Marcum just bumped his FB up to 89 MPH, and it led to a HUGE blast of a double....haha. Talk about misplays, he missed that by about 8 feet. Reminded me of the Yankees' misplay in the no-hitter against the Sox when we scored 3 runs and beat Andy Hawkins I think.
