8/4 Pit (Gorzelanny) @ Cubs (BIG Z) 1:20pm CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

CHARGE THE MOUND!!!

 

If Tony Larussa were managing the Cubs, Z would have already hit Jason Bay twice.

 

I was at Gorz' last start, against the Giants. Wright hit three Pirates.

 

Maybe he's making up for it here? :roll:

 

I'm off to catch my flight. I'll be at the game tomorrow!

 

Go Cubs!

[Schwarber Fan]

We need a Murton gapper...

I don't think passenger planes from Pittsburgh are normally allowed in Chicago airspace. It brings in too much of the bad element. You might want to make sure your flight is still scheduled. Sorry.

 

I hope you enjoy the game. While it pains me to root againt the Cubs, maybe if they finish behind the Pirates, changes will happen in the offseason.

*expletive*

[coldsteel]

crap. we're going to need some runs pretty soon.

In today's Post-Gazette on line, in the Pirates Q&A section, Dejan Kova-how-ever-you-spell-it made mention that Wilson's downfall might have been personal.

 

We can only hope that Cesar Izturis or Neifi Perez make Darren Baker cry.

You mean, by like 2007?

[oldstyle81]

sucks for zambrano to have this group of morons behind him, it shouldnt be 5-0

[goonys evil twin]

um, yeah so, ahhh, nevermind.

[cheapseats]

Izturis is really flashing the leather today.

[Z38Cubs]

Our awesome middle infield has cost Zambrano 3 runs today, and put his ERA at nearly 3.5.

[Jim Ignatowski]

Z with 99 pitches today after 5 innings. Hopefully Dusty won't run him up to 175.

[CubColtPacer]

It sounds like 3 of the 5 runs could be charged to the middle infield today-just an absolutely terrible day by both of them so far. Let's see if either of them can pick it up.

What they lack with the glove, they'll make up for with their bats.

i know we all like to think we are much better than the pirates but if we seriously look at the 2 teams-

we are better at 3b,c and bullpen + z. they are better at everything else. we are lucky to be ahead of them.

Juan Pierre is better than Chris Duffy.

I don't think the guy in right field is tearing it up either.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well this game isn't turning out like we expected.

I would also lean towards DLEE over there first baseman.

You mean the offense not showing up against a young lefty with control problems?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Holy crap, I was in a meeting and just checked the score. When did crappy Z come back?

[Dr. Cub]

I don't know; this seems about right.

[Brian]

a very human like performance by Carlos, it has to happen every once in a while. :(

Z hasn't been good whatsoever, but he probably would have only given up a couple without the defense of Cedeno and Izturis..can't defend their defense today, have given up 3-4 extra outs between them.
