    Indeed, plus he is good against LHP.

    I'm not so sure Sam Fuld doesn't deserve a shot though... Then again we have enough unproven, young players to rely on (Theriot, Pie, Soto, even Carlos Marmol and Rich Hill are not sure things yet).

    eddievedder1977... as far as Lou setting up Pie to fail, I don't believe Lou Piniella would do that to ANY player on his roster let alone the best young player in the entire organization. He is an honest man plus he isn't retarded.

    Agreed, thankfully Dusty Baker is in Cinci to F that team up. How long before he completely ruins Cordero? I also think he will try and aquire LaTrine Hawkins!!!

    Hopefully, nice lead off HR by Johnson today in Vegas. I'm just hoping it stays dry as I'm going to the game. It calls for 90% chance of rain on Monday. Luckily I have Tuesday off too and am staying down in Chicago, although I'd prefer they get the game in on Monday, as I'd have to drive home after it on Tuesday.

    Woo!
    Can't wait! I just hope the rain isn't an issue. I'd rather be a) at the game or b) at home watching it...but I guess I'll have to settle for ESPN's stat tracker/gameday thing.

    What is your favorite gametracker you use to keep up with scores on the computer?
    I've used ESPN and MLB.com's and both seem pretty decent. If I remember right one is much quicker then the other.

    Well at least Zambrano pitched like he should every time out... and Fukudome showed that he is well worth his big contract.

    Everything else sucked.
