Just checking in - Gameday tells me that Mahlom has thrown 109 pitches and Z has thrown 51. This cannot be possible :?

I wish we could see this Cubs philosophy at the plate every game. They've taken pitches, only hit balls early in the count if they were good strikes, and have done a very good job battling late in the count today.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nady doubled to right field

[PrimeTime]

Awwww the first hit on Z

[beercats2000]

Zambrono's walk totals have seemed lower as of late.

Doumit singled to right field , Nady to third

[RichHillIsABeast]

hahahaha, thanks for stopping at 3rd. he must have gone to the Cubs baserunning clinic.

[Jim Ignatowski]

Pitt 3rd base coach needs to be fired on the spot. Imagine not running on cubs arms. Aw, E on Z.

[PrimeTime]

Damnit... Z had an easy double play...He will probably fall apart now

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castillo grounded to the pitcher , safe at first on a throwing error, E1, Nady scored, Doumit to third

[illiniguy]

Theriot is a midget.

[minnesotacubsfan]

wtf was Bynum doing there???

he just watched the throw go past him!!!

[Sammy Sofa]

Damnit... Z had an easy double play...He will probably fall apart now

 

He started tweeking as soon as the no-no was broken.

 

I love the guy, but part of him needs to grow the hell up and stop being such a spaz just because things don't go exactly like he wants them.

[A New Era]

Theriot is a midget.

 

That's right. It's The Riot's fault.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Burnitz, pinch hitting for Maholm, singled to right field , Doumit scored, Castillo to third

[illiniguy]

Theriot is a midget.

 

That's right. It's The Riot's fault.

Yep, that's exactly what I said.

[RichHillIsABeast]

argh!

[PrimeTime]

Jeremy Freakin Burnitz.... Z is done...I dont get how small things can just ruin everything about him out there

[Sammy Sofa]

Burnitz's pic is beyond awesome.
