    Still probably means Norris won't pitch before Sunday just in case he is needed to start/injury relief. I really hope they put Norris into the rotation behind Wandy. If you can give Paulino that chance, you have give Norris it as well.

    Alright. 20 minutes till game time... Their pitcher, Hart, has had some control issues despite the low ERA... it's a wonder how he hasn't gotten shelled yet. Be patient, is all I have to say.

    I would love to give Norris the Russ Ortiz spot in the rotation and see what he can do over 4-5 starts.

    Best case scenrio today..Ortiz gets hammared but wind is blowing out so Stros outscore the Cubs...back to within 2 and forces Wade/Drayton/Smith to make a move with the rotation!

    Ortiz looks like he has good stuff today. Let's see if he can drive in some runs here!

    this team is disturbing.

    you guys should switch over to WGN. the feed is a good 15 seconds earlier than fssw, and the announcers were just spending the inning talking about how dumb coop is for bunting a red-hot keppinger to set up his 8th and 9th hitters vs. a pitcher with control problems.

    How do you not play for a big 1st inning with Ortiz pitching? Bunt with #7 hitter?

    I'm kind of half-wondering why Koyie Hill has been intentionally walked twice this series.

    just a really predictable, agonizing, torturous team, that's all.
