5/10 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Giants (Cain) 9:15 CSNC TV/XM 189

That should be it for Z (if Baker has any sense). Job well done.

 

I bet you Z wants to face him one more time. You know he's that type of competitor.

 

I bet he wants to, too. But he shouldn't.

[JC]

So, what does this offensive outburst demonstrate?

 

A. That the 8 game losing streak (and accompanying pathetic offensive output) CANNOT be simply blamed on Lee's absence, indicting Baker's handling of the team.

 

or

 

B. That Dusty deserves credit for finally solving the key to this team's offense.

[badger1679666666]

pull Z please.

 

I agree. It's stupid to leave him in if we don't have to.

he's tired and he is going to overthrow. the cubs are up 7.

 

How do you know he's tired. I'm telling you Z WANTS this at-bat.

[BigSlick]

You know what would complete this night? Z plunking Bonds in the knee.

 

And Z challenging Barry to fight.

 

That would be glorious. Then for some reason Farnsworth runs out, tackles Bonds, and ends his career.

false dilemma

[badger1679666666]

Hey CubfaninCA

 

Should Z be able to decide if he comes out since he makes more money than Hendry and Baker?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton grounded to short, safe at first on a fielding error, E6

[ToupeeOnFire]

That should be it for Z (if Baker has any sense). Job well done.

He struck out Bonds last AB. Let him leave on a high note.

Bonds is up 2nd.Just put in Rusch for 714.

[cbbryan]

Will Jock get his triple?

obviously switching cedeno and pierre made all the difference. oh and mabry protecting ramirez. Actually I think the first inning bunt was the key.

I'll take A Alex.

 

Why is Dusty pulling Jones???

[Banedon]

Will Jock get his triple?

 

JJ out...Hairston pops out in his place.

[cheapseats]

Will Jock get his triple?

 

Not with Hairston hitting for him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hairston, pinch hitting for Jones, popped out to second base

[cbbryan]

Nevermind, Dusty doesn't give him the chance for a triple. Hairston PH.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[badger1679666666]

I swear I want them to get hurt really badly.

[cheapseats]

Sadly, this is probably true.
