I wish the Cubs would just shut down Z for the year. :(

Sammy Sofa · September 17, 2006

Guess who's back...back again...

I'm thirding the idea of shutting him down, but I'll readily admit seeing his name as the starter makes me feel all tingly.

soccer10k · September 17, 2006

I won't be watching this one because I unfortunately have to work tomorrow morning. The unfortunate part is that I don't get to sleep in and not that I don't get to watch the Cubs game.

E.J. · September 17, 2006

It drives me nuts that the Cubs didn't shut Z down for the season. Do the Cubs ever make the right decision? :x

Balsa · September 17, 2006

Should I start Z on my fantasty team???

*nervous*

Oh well, go big or go home I guess.

MPrior · September 17, 2006

I just noticed that Rich Aurilia is having a remarkably good season. How is that fair?

vance_the_cubs_fan · September 17, 2006

Cubs start off the game with back to back singles by Pierre and Theriot.

vance_the_cubs_fan · September 17, 2006

Ramirez singles to score Pierre. 1-0 Cubs.

littleburr24 · September 17, 2006

Cubs start off the game with back to back singles by Pierre and Theriot.

Make that back to back to back singles... to score a run!

vance_the_cubs_fan · September 17, 2006

Murton K's for the first out.

vance_the_cubs_fan · September 17, 2006

Jones with a 3-run HR. 4-0 Cubs in the first.

vance_the_cubs_fan · September 17, 2006

And Blanco doubles to left.

The Cubs are hitting Milton hard today.

vance_the_cubs_fan · September 17, 2006

Cedeno chases Milton from the game with a HR to Waveland. 6-0 Cubs with only one out in the first.

The Cubs will be losing ground in the Fecal League standings today.

vance_the_cubs_fan · September 17, 2006

HR ZAMBRANO!!! 7-0
