Maybe Lou's heart will finally explode tonight. Should be fun to watch.

By almost every measure, Lilly has actually been better than Zambrano this season: He's better in ERA, (3.82 vs. 4.14), ERA+ (119 vs. 116), WHIP (1.15 vs. 1.34), K/BB (3.09 vs. 1.77), and dugout fights (0 vs. 1).

Should be an interesting matchup... if I can stay awake for it.

[RingoOSU]

I hope he pulls Lilly at 60 pitches to save him for game 5.

[Arroyo Con Frijoles]

Let's do it, Cubs.

[SoxScout]

Huge HR by Tony Batista there

[JohntheBaptist]

Wow. I've never seen a pitcher do that.

[SoxScout]

Manny would have had it.

Chris Young hits a 3-run homer to put the Diamondbacks ahead. Arizona definitely got the better trade when they got Young for Javier Vasquez.

Byrnes hits a triple to make it 4-2.

Sarcasm? An 88 OPS+ over a 200 IP 123 ERA+?

I have serious doubts about Young ever hitting for avg or obp.

Not saying you'll be wrong after all is said and done with their careers, but Vazquez was a top ten pitcher in the AL this year, and Chris Young- his 32 HRs notwithstanding- was pretty bad. 295 OBP.

One thing about moving West- all the games being 2 hours (for me) earlier is much more reasonable and enjoyable. Especially the loooong ones.

[PedroKsBambino]

This game is not doing much to convince me the NL is anything but the JV this season.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO MORE FRANK TV!

How is it that the response to these promos hasn't been so bad the show has been cancelled already?

I normally watch zero network tv except for times like now. It is a sad state of affairs.

[NYCSox]

How much money could someone have made betting that the Rockies would be playing the D-Backs in the NLCS?

[LESDL]

Looked like he went way wide right.

[dividius]

How is that not running outside of the basepath? When you make 2-3 steps to the right.....horrible call.

[LESDL]

He's no JD Junior.

Good hit.

[Arroyo Con Frijoles]

Poor Cubs fans.

[Zona90]

Drew has been on fire since the last week of the season. Where is Bartman?

[Rasputin]

Did he just say Eric Byrnes has a high baseball IQ?

[shawnrbu]

Aw, Darling with the Eckstein ballwashing. It wouldn't be postseason without it.

[NomarRS05]

The Cubs really don't belong here, do they?

[Foulkey Reese]

The Cubs really don't belong here, do they?

They won 84 games....in the NL Central


The NL WC team won 6 more games then they did

[shawnrbu]

Does anybody know why Augie Ojeda is considered a scrappy player?

[Andrew]

The Diamondbacks are a rather poor team. The Cubs are just far worse.

He's small, thus he is exactly like David Eckstien.

[Andrew]

I turned off the TV to go use the computer, who is the injury delay for?

[Andrew]

Wow. RBI bunt single for Doug Davis. Is this the year Sweet Lou finally goes too far and kills someone?

[JayeBrady]

What a bummer going on here for the Cubbies....I'm still hanging on to my dream match-up of a Cubs/Sox WS, unceremoniously squashed by Bartman and Boone last time around (the pain eased only slightly by our then-Marlin avenger, Joshus Beckettus...). Something tells me it's not going to happen unless Sweet Lou cracks the whip on their asses in the clubhouse.

[Andrew]

This umpire has a ridiculous low strike zone.

[TeddysBonefish]

Please. For the love of God. Do something Cubs. This game is making my eyeballs bleed.

[TeddysBonefish]

Whoa... that worked!

[Andrew]

Soriano in the play-offs. It never gets old.

[TeddysBonefish]

and Soriano strikes out...

Is anyone surprised? He is the most overrated player in baseball. Remember how great it was when he was an MFY and you just knew he was an instant (strike)out in the postseaon. I give Cashman credit for cutting bait there.

[rembrat]

I tried rooting for the Cubs these past two nights and I reek of failure..I think you know where I'm going with this...

[Andrew]

The National League play-offs have the feel of figuring out who sucks the least rather than who is the better team.

[TeddysBonefish]

Oh wait! There is hope for the Cubbies.

The only player I miss more than Soriano on the MFYs.. the corpse of Tony Clark has been placed on first for the D-Backs.

[Andrew]

Ramirez and Lee have really been impotent this series.

[TeddysBonefish]

This game has made me impotent.

[Andrew]

This game has made me impotent.

I set that up for you and you spiked it. Well played.

[Andrew]

Umpire is really giving Valverde that outside corner.

[rembrat]

Soriano decided striking out 3 times was enough for the night.

[Jnai]

Things suddenly got interesting.

[Andrew]

Oh dear. Valverde imploding.

[TeddysBonefish]

Lee goes Viagra on Valverde?

[rembrat]

This is just setting up the game ending GIDP which will cause many tv sets to be broken in Chicago.

[Andrew]

Augie Ojeda has failed too impress me. He's made several defensive gaffes today. Completely missed a foul pop-up and tried to call off Drew on a pop-up just out of the infield that he was nowhere near. Luckily Drew ignored him and made the play.

[Andrew]

The three of us are the only people still watching this game outside of Chicago.

Lee Ks. Up to Ramirez now.

That makes me feel like I should wash.
