Walker Ks. Let's go Z!

 

If this game is another one of the weekly trends, I'm going to go watch Flight 93... any other back-up plans?

[cheapseats]

Padres announcers said lots of nice things about Walker during his at-bat.

They're pricks.

[sweetpeteman]

I see Dusty decided that a 3 game losing streak isn't enough so we need to put out the forfeit lineup... why is Bynum batting second?

like what?

[sunnydoo]

Finally some good news...the Dbacks are murdering the Reds right now.

But the Astros are still winning, so we will only lose .5 a game tonight.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That's what we get for having Bynum in the line-up.

make margaritas and get really really drunk.

[gflore34]

Does anyone really think Z's going to throw less than 25 pitches this inning? or not issue any BB's?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Roberts grounded out to first, unassisted

You have to have speed at the top of the lineup, dude.

They also have a glowing review of Jacque Jones.

[Flames24Rulz]

Zambrano K's Cameron.

Cameron struck out swinging

like what?

 

Said before Lee got injured he was playing pretty good D at second base and praised him for his bat and his nice job at first while Lee's out of the lineup.

 

They didn't directly criticize Cubs management for trying to move him in the offseason but they did discuss it.

[BigbadB]

Wow! 4 middle infielders in the same line up. :shock:

You know the season is slipping away when a 9/11 docudrama is less depressing than the Cubs game.

Matt Vasgersian and Mark Grant are the best broadcast team in baseball. Doesn't sound like Grant is in there tonight, however.

[Flames24Rulz]

Zambrano with another K to end the inning.

 

plz be good Z on the mound.

For those of you that are watching the game, did Zambrano look as good as the 2 K's and a ground out would suggest or did he just get lucky?
