7/25 Cubs (Z) Mets (Glavine)

[texascub]

Reyes walks and the bases are loaded again...Dusty coming out, I believe Howry is coming in.

If Dempster blows this, I'm forming a lynch mob... who's with me?

I like this move. Dempster this season has tended to either get out of it quickly or not get out of it at all-so it's a good to get him out, and hope the next person can shut it down.

[ToupeeOnFire]

With the team where it's at, I normally wouldn't be nervous in a situation like this; but damnit, I want Z to get the win.

You should be watching the Twins. They are a hell of a lot more fun to watch than this Cubs team.

[Jim Ignatowski]

Gee Dusty, why are you taking Dempster out of the game? You tell cub hitters not to take walks because they clog the bases. Dempster is just helping the Metropolitans clog the bases. Ain't what's good for the goose, good for the gander?

Except that he says slow runners clog the bases..and Reyes is anything but slow.

Come on Bobby. End this thing.

I get my fill...that Morneau kid would look good in Cubbie blue, as well as Mauer, Lariano, Santana, oh hell, lets just trade all the players straight up.........

[ToupeeOnFire]

This is excruciating.

[UMFan83]

Ladies and gentlemen, your new closer

[Laura]

phew!

[impaler_240]

Cubs win!

[texascub]

Howry gets Lo Duca to pop out to Neifi to end the game.

[soccer10k]

CUBS WIN!! And take the series against the Mets.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Zambrano win #11!

[UMFan83]

Only the Cubs can get swept by the Nationals, and then turn around and threaten to sweep the Mets

[UMFan83]

Zambrano win #11!

 

Which is more likely to happen:

 

Z wins 20

Maddux loses 20?

[Illini Iceman]

Dempster looks shell shocked.

Fine with me especially if that means we trade Dempster for some prospects.

Zambrano's opinion of the Mets:

ALL HAIL Z!!!

 

SCREW YOU, CUBS!!!

[Andy]

That's Z's lowest-pitch outing of the season at 101 pitches :shock: previous low was 103, done twice.

 

Bob Howry might be the new closer. He's been shaky at times but seems particularly adept at saving Dempster's rear.

 

ALL HAIL Z! 11-3, 3.27 ERA.
