Re: The Official 2007 Chicago Cubs Thread
And this game illustrates why you don't pay people like Blanco, Floyd, or Izturis millions when you have solid players in AAA.
Hopefully this game forces Lou to start Soto, and makes our starting 3 Z, Lilly, and Hill. If Marquis or Kendall gets a single start in the playoffs I'm going to throw up. |

Here's my ideal roster. Notable players left off would be Marquis, Marshall, Eyre, Monroe.
Soto Blanco Lee Ward DeRosa Theriot Ramirez Fontenot Cedeno Murton Soriano Floyd Jones Pie Zambrano Lilly Hill Wood Marmol Howry Wuertz Ohman Pignatiello Hart Dempster (I just want it to be Dempster out there when we win the WS) |

you need 4 starters. Marquis is in and he should be in.

Re: The Official 2007 Chicago Cubs Thread
D-backs versus Cubs. Crap. I moved from Tempe a couple of years ago.
This should almost be a home game for the Cubs. I'd estimate that at least 40% of the fans will be cheering for the Cubbies. Do you think that estimate is too high? Maybe around 25-30%, but I think the Cub fans will be louder and make up the difference in numbers. It probably doesn't matter as much in baseball, but I'm looking for any advantage we can get. |
