[texascub]

And Walker K's swinging.

I thought I read today, either in the Sun-times or Herald or cubs.com, that Walker actually still has soreness in his right knee.

[justlikethecubs]

they said they were watching him as the ground down there is harder and could cause the soreness to reappear. he says he is fine.

[Brian]

gah Walker with a "short back-hand flip"

[texascub]

One away on a bouncer to Walker.

[texascub]

Nice to see Z moving quickly through the order in his first outing.

[Brian]

boo base hit.

[texascub]

Kielty (sp?) pulls a hot shot off the glove of Lee and into RF.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

There goes the no-no. :(

[texascub]

C'mon Z, keep the pitch count down and get out of this inning!
