Wind blowing out again

[A.J.]

ther ei nothing like a rubber game, even though we might lose

[IbreakNeckZ101]

if we can have soriano hitting again and stop our defensive lapses. We're a pretty good team.

[SportsWorld]

I think I heard on Comcast that Henry Blanco is getting the start for this game.

[Posey H8er]

I wish Murton was playing for Soriano right now. But I'm not worrying, he will turn it around soon enough, along with Ramirez and Soto.

Hopefully Z stopped drinking the red bull and had a nice banana. But knowing his fat ass he probably had a banana sundae.

All meats, poultry and fish are high in potassium.

The Cubs are wearing the alternate blue uniforms again.

[Posey H8er]

Good start for Big Z.

[treyZz]

Great start..

I am going to loose it today.. Can already feel it.. Better stay away from the OT board and off full tilt poker.

[SportsWorld]

More leadoff basehits. Yay

[SportsWorld]

SORIANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Posey H8er]

Offense? Who needs offense!!!

[mattbulls]

Now with the bat fonz!

[treyZz]

That should slow down the Soriano hate for an inning or two.

[GYBE]

He's got a fantastic arm.

Unfortunately that's been the only positive contribution he's made so far.
