October 2, 200817 yr I was listening to ESPN Radio at lunch today. What Rick Sutcliff had to say doesn't bode well for the Cubs. Rick stated that he asked Zambrano how his shoulder was feeling yesterday before the game, and Zambrano's reply was "I have a huge heart". Sure sounds like his shoulder is still bothering him.

October 2, 200817 yr :irked: If he struggles early look for Pinella to pull him and put Lilly in Just like he did with Dempster? :thumb:
October 2, 200817 yr Just like he did with Dempster? :thumb: Actually in Dempsters defense he hadn't given up a run and just 1 hit, and its not like all those balls were way off, a lot were right on the corners and he wasn't getting the calls. GIve credit to Dodgers hitters for laying off a lot of those pitches. By struggling, I mean hits/runs, but thanks:thumb:

You don't walk 7 because the other team was laying off close pitches.
October 2, 200817 yr Not all but some of them weren't even close. You don't walk 7 because the other team was laying off close pitches. You're right, some weren't close, I didn't say all were close but there were A LOT of balls that I thought were strikes.
October 2, 200817 yr You're right, some weren't close, I didn't say all were close but there were A LOT of balls that I thought were strikes. They were thrown by a Cubs pitcher, so I bet you did think they were strikes...
October 2, 200817 yr You're right, some weren't close, I didn't say all were close but there were A LOT of balls that I thought were strikes. There were definitely a few that left me scratching my head.
October 2, 200817 yr They were thrown by a Cubs pitcher, so I bet you did think they were strikes... Typical of your obvious Cubs hating:rolleyes: Did you even watch the entire game?
October 2, 200817 yr There were definitely a few that left me scratching my head. Even in the first inning he made a couple of throws that were sure strikes and yet called balls

Now we know where you've been since Major League: Back to the Minors. "Juuuuuuusst a bit outside. I don't know how they're laying off pitches this close." :lol::lol:
October 2, 200817 yr Harry Doyle is that you? Now we know where you've been since Major League: Back to the Minors. "Juuuuuuusst a bit outside. I don't know how they're laying off pitches this close." :lol::lol: What are you talking about? Did you watch the game?
October 2, 200817 yr Typical of your obvious Cubs hating:rolleyes: Did you even watch the entire game? Sorry, I knew I should have skipped my marketing exam to watch the entire game, but you know, I don't really have my priorities in line so alas I was in class for the first 5 innings. Besides, what's the point in watching a series that the Cubs are in? Everyone already knows what the outcome is going to be. They've given us over 100 years worth of data....
October 2, 200817 yr I didn't finish watching this game until 100am after I recorded it on DVR and I watched every pitch and I blame in on the UMPIRE. He was very inconsistent for BOTH pitchers. I feel he had Dempster throwing it everywhere to try and get a strike. I swear I saw pitches that were perfectly placed more than once and sometimes it was a ball and sometimes it was a strike, the batters heigth didn't vary much either. The one pitch where the Dodger attempted a BUNT and led into the plate that was called a ball was ROBBERY, that was a perfect pitch where the UMP got fooled. Cubs in 5!
