4/24 Marlins (Vargas) @ Cubs (Z!) 6:05 PM WCIU/ESPN

[anemic offense]

Vargas joins a long list of less than stellar LHs to own this team

[ManCrushOnNomar]

Anyone else want to slap that crap out of Vargas' mouth?

[Blueheart05]

Am I the only one who loves the fact that Z is crazy? :lol:

 

I sure don't. I never know who's showing up for the game and what kind of performance he'll provide.

100 lines on the blackboard for Jim Hendry:

 

MUST NOT RESIGN JUAN PIERRE

MUST NOT RESIGN JUAN PIERRE

MUST NOT RESIGN JUAN PIERRE

MUST NOT RESIGN JUAN PIERRE

MUST NOT RESIGN JUAN PIERRE

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I think Pierre's OBP is under .290 now.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Why was Zambrano left in to hit? He was already at 91 pitches. I know you want to save the bullpen and all, but you are down 3-0.

 

b/c he's a better hitter than guys like Bynum...

Not this year

[cubfan75]

Bulls take the lead 38-37 with the ball.

[CubinNY]

Keyriced. Way to get the clutch hit guys

 

I would have settled for a clutch walk there.

 

I'd love to see a graph of the pitches the Cubs have swung at tonight. I'd bet a weeks salary that a majority of them were outside of the zone.

[anemic offense]

I like the lineup the Bulls have out there now

[Fred Hornkohl]

Abercrombie struck out swinging

[badger1679666666]

Come on Z. You could have done at least ONE thing right tonight

 

He's struck out NINE!!!!!!!

[anemic offense]

[expletive] Jason Williams. Make me barf

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

nice k.

 

nice play from Pierre.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Speed.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Treanor flied out to center field

[CubinNY]

Nice catch Wheels.

[cubfan75]

Abercrombie struck out swinging

 

You are still watching the Cubs?

[RyCubsFan]

Come on Z. You could have done at least ONE thing right tonight

 

He's struck out NINE!!!!!!!

 

 

And isn't 6 innings, 3 ER considered a "quality start?" Or is it 7 innings?

Doesn't matter when you consistently walk batters and give up crucial hits. If he Ks 15 and gives up 3 in 5 it's still not good enough.

[Coach C]

Sit down!

[Flames24Rulz]

10 K's for Z.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Z really turned it around after a poor beginning.

 

Not a bad line tonight, either. A little freaking run support would be ok.

It's fine if the offense is doing something. 3 runs in 6 innings with 10 k's is a solid line, but it just looks bad when the offense sucks.

It is, but we expect more from the Z. And our offense is carp (

not a typo).
