The crazy thing is Z actually has good stuff today. If he would just stop trying to pick Milton off it might have been a good day.

 

That's what makes it so frustrating. Why on earth would he feel the need to throw over to third to pickoff Milton? It's not like a pitcher is ever going to try stealing home.

It'd be nice to come back and win this one, but I'd really be surprised if they got within a couple runs. Show everyone this is a different year, Cubs.

He usually sucks in the beginning. Then he's the best pitcher in baseball during August. It'll be ok.

5-1, and the boo-birds are out. Z completely flaming out on this day.

 

Even Brenly is pissed off about how Z is trying to pick off Milton.

 

I honestly would go postal right now on anyone booing Z.

 

I mean drunken brawl, and I'd take everyone down. Idiots.

 

Should he be praised right now? It's one thing to be beaten it's another thing to beat yourself on stupid plays and lack of concentration.

 

Did I say that?

 

I said I would go postal on anyone that BOO'D him. He's an allstar calliber pitcher not pitching the best.

 

He doesn't deserved to get bood.

 

Way to twist what I said though.

Oh I am not worried about Z, he will be fine throughout the year. I am just amazed that he has done so many dumb things.

Only problem is, with all the people who suck in April on our team, we might not be in contention by August.

Great...we start of the inning with Hank White...this should really kick the offense into gear.

 

Seriously...why are Barrett, Walker, and Ramirez all down on the same day? it should NEVER happen absent 3 injuries...last I counted there was maybe one.

But he's playing kinda stupid right now. It's one thing to boo him cause he's given up some runs. It's another to boo him for playing stupid. I would boo him for trying to pick the pitcher off, but not for giving up home runs.

7-1.

 

I said this before Dunn homers, by the way.

 

Is it 7-1? Espn says 5-1.

 

no it's 5-1 he was just making a prediction and he was wrong...

I didn't twist anything. Fans have a right to boo. Again, it's one thing to get beaten on your best pitch it's another thing to do stupid things and essentially self destruct.

Why let Zambrano bat here? The Cubs need runs, and Z isn't exactly pitching a gem today.

 

On the other hand, he's a better batter than some of our bench players.
