08/09 CUBS (Zambrano) @ Milwaukee (Bush) 7:05pm CDT, WGN TV

Z at the 90 pitch mark. Hopefully Dusty will pull him early.

[CubColtPacer]

I really wish Nevin would have let that ball hit him-maybe Bush would have been thrown out of the game early.

[Laura]

Z could probably use an extra day sometime instead of the team going to a 4-man rotation every time there's an off-day.

Can't....it's only the 5th inning and in Bakers book of ignorance that just can't be done. Gotta get the dude into the 7th inning.

[ToupeeOnFire]

The Cubs are being no-hit right now.

I think Z will pitch this inning and then Baker will pull him for a PH starting off the 6th.

[PrimeTime]

This is sick.. Bush has a no hitter going thorugh 5..

Gotta push for the 500 mark. Screw the big picture and ride the horses into the ground while blaming bad luck. This just frosts me off everytime I watch and I just can't enjoy the game (watching Cubs that is) anymore because of the complete and utter ignorance towards anything that resembles common sense. I try to just root for them but it is just so hard when so many things that can be fixed continue to be done so wrong.

This is a terrible, terrible offense.

[Mizzou]

What's the score?

A quick 5th will keep him in.

4-0 Brewers

Rothschild FINALLY going to the phone

 

It takes awhile to figure out that darn new technology.

 

Z is laboring away. Let's just wait and see if he can blow something out first and then make a decision.

[Outshined_One]

It's clear Z didn't have his best stuff today.

 

Dusty's probably under the impression the Cubs are still in the thick of the playoff hunt.

[BeerHere]

Is the zone small or is Z just missing?

 

<---not watching

[illiniguy]

If Barrett can catch strike 3 back in the third this is a different game.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Finally, you stupid idiots.

 

I hate Dusty and this coaching staff.

[Jim Ignatowski]

I really hate Dusty. Who couldn't see this coming. I agree that Z needs a little extra rest over the next few weeks.

[CuseCubFan69]

That Baker sure does make some shrewed moves. Taking Z out now takes a lot of guts. He just earned an extention from today alone.

[CubColtPacer]

Z missed quite a few pitches by quite a bit, and the zone has been very, very inconsistent and kind of strange tonight. So both, but more of Z just missing than anything.

No, he's in the hunt to win and keep his job.

[Sarcastic]

Yeah, it would be 4-0 instead of 6-0. Zambrano really didn't have anything today, and neither did the rest of the team, apparently.

WE STILL GOT ACTION BABY!

 

Beer Here- he's all over the place. Not getting squeezed.

How about "the Cubs are still thick"?
