It's stupid gut-feel prediction time.
Snell strikes out a bunch of cubbies today, while keeping them under three runs for seven innings.
Ian Snell plus a southwest wind at Wrigley
equals a disaster looking for a place to happen.
If we make contact,
they’ll fly just as far offa Zambrano.

Problem being
Cubs are more likely to make frequent contact off Snell than the Pirates are off of Zambrano.
Oh,
no doubt. ;-)

We really need...
Andy LaRoche or Pearce to step up. With McLouth, Doumit and Adam LaRoche all being lefty hitters vs RHP we need a couple good right handed hitters to mix in there with them.

Probably
they (he) said something about CC being called the best acquisition at the trading deadline, and while that might be true on the pitching end, X-Man has been huge for the Yankees.

The official word on Snell’s four-inning exit is a combination of a high pitch count (86) and some lower back tightness. He could be seen clutching the back a couple times early in the game.

Ute-ity
what you make of the lineup I put up above?
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. -- HST
I like it for the most part
not sure about Doumit batting 3rd though. But I guess there aren’t many other options.
And… Rolling Stone?
The Utah Jazz. The Jazz... duh.
The best NBA team in Utah... no doubts about it!
Playing For Pride. Pirates, Utes, Panthers, and more...
Because, in the end, only one team can "win it all".
Gathers no Moss.

Is the plan still to use him as a closer? Was that ever a plan or did I just make it up?
by Chester J Lampwick on Aug 3, 2008 4:24 PM EDT reply actions
not sure
I want to see him pitch, though.

so it’s insulting to pull a pitcher? What about pulling Snell? Are the Cubs all upset about that?

Basically,
Pinella is making the statement that there’s no way the Pirates can come back down 5-2.
Kind of insulting – especially since we were starting to get to Z.

Like 2 months ago
he condescendingly called us a “good little ball club” in an interview with Blass… Then today, when he pulled Zambrano, Greg Brown melted down on the radio b-cast and started freaking out about how it was an insult.

that he’s working on a change-up, but he’s not quite ready to use it in game yet.

...but HRs from Moss and LaRoche. Pearce had 2 hits. Hansen pitched well (despite getting tagged with the loss) so there are good things to take from this one.

did you hear the Bucs’ announcers? Right before the last pitch:
Lanny: “you’re gonna hear that song again, John. And it’s annoying. We’ll get you out of here fast, folks, so you don’t have to hear it.”

The best news...
...if we were waiting for Ohlendorf to be “stretched out” at AAA it looks like he may be here soon. 7.1 IP today in a win. Sounds stretched out to me.
Not a "stretch"
to think he’ll be up soon.
Someone on the PG blog said that Snell might have an option left. Is this possible? After the contract he signed this year?
Anyone? Bueller?
