The Cubs are 4-0 in games I've attended this season... I'll be there tonight. AND THEY BETTER WIN. Losing to bottom-feeders is getting REAL old, REAL quick. We could be looking up at TWO TEAMS after this weekend if we don't start putting together some WINS in a row.

Why did not Zambrano improve since his previous start? Is Larry Rothchild really doing his Job?

Did you see the show Myth Busters ? All about breaking baseball Myths. They did prove it's true balls carry better with less humidity and higher altitudes like Coors field.
They busted the myth about corked bats carry the ball further the ball never did go further with a corked bat even went a little less. Sort of gets Sammy Sosa off the hook . It would take a long time for me to explain how they did this you would have had to seen the show. It was a great show and had Roger Clemens on it too.

I like lou as a manager but enjoy Bob Brenly explain baseball and really see why he was a good manager and he'd be a good choice for next Cub manager. Len we like you too.
Hey on another note Adam Dunn hurt the Brewers and Dunn they said hit a homer further than ever noted at Milwaukee's new stadium.
