5/26: Cubs (Zambrano) VS: Braves (Hudson) - 1:20 P.M.- WGN

[Sammy Sofa]

Shuts down the side in 6 pitches.

 

Nicely done, Mr. The Jackal.

 

Now do it 2-3 more times and catch back up.

[Derwood]

eternal optimist would say "they had their chance at zambrano in the 1st, now he'll be nails"

 

but that optimist was killed in Florida on Sunday

[Big Fergie J]

That's a little more like it.

 

Z must have read the "You can't defense walks" chapter in the Pitcher's handbook after the 1st.

[Tracer Bullet]

11 pitches that inning, the Cubs swung at 9 of them.

 

 

 

If only they hit better with men in scoring position...........

 

Gotta keep being aggressive and maybe we'll catch some breaks.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett grounded out to short, 6-3

[Derwood]

5 pitch at-bat. That's like 10 pitches for most teams

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Barrett grounded out to short, 6-3

 

But at least it took him 5 pitches to do it. Baby steps.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones grounded out to third, 5-3

[Big Fergie J]

I think I heard Barrett say in his statement,"I want to help the Cubs win a ...err...some baseball games'.....HaHa.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez doubled off the left field wall

[KaiserCesar]

Best 6 hitter in baseball

[Derwood]

can we PLEASE move Ramirez back up to cleanup?

[Chocolate Milk]

A-Ram's OPS is up to 800 now.

[KaiserCesar]

Freddy should try to steal first

[Derwood]

Freddy should try to steal first

Again, why is this guy on a major league roster?

 

Oh yeah, it's the Cubs.

I would be happy to leave Barrett there for a while.

Freddie's gameday photo tells me one thing:

 

He's happy as heck and completely shocked that he's on a major league roster.

Ramirez is hot now, he's overwhelmingly likely to exceed those numbers. Plus, Barrett is soon to be suspended.
