4/18 Cubs (Z) at Braves (Davies) 6:35 p.m. CT CSN+

[DurbanJer]

I think what Z might have meant was that he was going to win the Cy Young for the opposing pitcher. Makes more sense now.

 

Maybe he meant the reverse Cy Young award.

 

bizarro world Z

That's why I didn't want him running his mouth in ST. He's putting too much pressure on himself with the constant CYA talk

[Butterscup1679666578]

All those Dusty innings have caught up with him, I think.

 

Cripes, he should have been fired after the Chad Fox debacle. That was inexcuseable.

 

Man, that was gross.

and another walk.

 

what an awful outing by Z.

 

Holy crap. 6-0? Wow, what a lousy outting from our ace when we needed him to step up and pitch deep.

 

When does Maddux, our ACE, pitch again?

 

Zambrano has looked like a #4 starter at best thus far this season.

 

Koskie doubles in two more. Now it's 6-0. Zambrano has lost it.

 

Zambrano is a really bad pitcher these days

 

It's 3-0.

 

miller walks.

 

3BB, 3 2B this inning. WTH?

 

Zamnbrano has been crap all year.

 

I miss 2004 Z. And 2005 Z.

 

Zambrano is just a terrible pitcher right now. Larry has ruined another one.

All those Dusty innings have caught up with him, I think.

 

If that ends up being the case, let me assure you that Dusty will move to the top of my Most-Hated List for trying his hardest to ruin every pitcher who put on a Cubs uniform during his tenure.

 

Cripes, he should have been fired after the Chad Fox debacle. That was inexcuseable.

 

He's gotta be hurt. I don't see any other explination.

Izturis battling... out 4-3

Maybe I missed something with Fox. The guy blew out his arm. I think that had a lot more to do with the rest of his career than his brief stint with the Cubs.

[seanimal]

Suprise!

 

Weak groundout by Izturis.

[Brian]

I'd like someone to show me the #'s where he's been THIS bad, in april.

 

5, 0, 4, 1, 3, 7 ER in April '06 starts

[Butterscup1679666578]

Would've been nice to get one back there, but then I forgot Izturis is garbage.

The first two of those images are from Eurotrip. The rest...got me.

He was worked way too often. The day he blew out his arm was the first time he had pitched on back-to-back days. It doesn't take a genius to see that he shouldn't have been pitching then after rehabbing his arm. (or whatever it was that was wrong with him)

[cheapseats]

Maybe Z needs his blue alt to pitch well. :evil:

 

Good theory. Nice one Mcdunnough. :?

 

I hope you're kidding

 

He's either injured or way too superstitious.

 

or a slow starter

 

I'd like someone to show me the #'s where he's been THIS bad, in april.

 

He had a 3.97 ERA after his third game last year, I do believe.

[RegulusBlue]

This team is garbage.

 

I can't imagine wasting 300 million dollars so deftly.

5, 0, 4, 1, 3, 7 ER in April '06 starts

 

You've cooled me down. Now if Carlos gives up several more runs. Then I'll start to worry about some kind of injury.

[CubmanPi]

I'd like someone to show me the #'s where he's been THIS bad, in april.

 

5, 0, 4, 1, 3, 7 ER in April '06 starts

5, 3, 6, 4 so far this April. In 3 starts and one inning, he's only 2 runs shy of 6 starts in his crappy last April.

Holy crap. 6-0? Wow, what a lousy outting from our ace when we needed him to step up and pitch deep.

 

When does Maddux, our ACE, pitch again?

 

Zambrano has looked like a #4 starter at best thus far this season.

 

Koskie doubles in two more. Now it's 6-0. Zambrano has lost it.

It's 3-0.

This isn't comforting.

In other words. His aprils are getting worse. And that's not good.

[otis89]

Hmmmmm. Now Z appears to be firing strikes. I wonder if someone had a little chat with him while the Cubs were batting?

[Andy]

Aces don't suck for 1/6 of the season for no apparent reason.
