Thank you sooo much, Joey Cora, for disabling yet another Cubs pitcher with your errant bat before the All-Star game. That’s what the Cubs need right now. It’s not like we have a ton of good arms on the Cubs right now.
“Whoa, that’s not a weapon there, Joey Cora”
And it’s not like the Cubs fans need another focal point on the Sox. We have plenty of those already.
Zambrano missed the All-Star Game and is questionable for the next one or two starts. That’s quite a mighty swing you have for a fungo.
Easy with that bat, Mr Cora.
Update: Zambrano assures us he’s ok and is scheduled to make his start on Saturday.
One observation: If Zam hits a homerun on Saturday, he will be tied for 5th on team. Ugh.
Isn’t Cora the White Sox coach that was fined and suspended for participating in the Barrett-AJ Brawl?
Some things make a guy go “Hmmmm.”
The next time the Angels visit Comiskey, we’re inviting Vlad to be on the field for an interview during Sox BP. :-) And on the subject of Vlad, I saw a quote the other day after his All-Star HR: Vlad is Dick Allen without the surly attitude and chain-smoking.
A special note for DonS: I hope you saw that Charlie Hagear, the knuckleballer for the Sox made quite a splash in the International League’s All-Star game. Fifteen pitches, six up and six down. I think when you look up “FourA” in the dictionary you’re liable to see his picture.
