Looks like my run as starter will be quite brief.

 

Go Bulls!

[Flames24Rulz]

This doesn't look promising.

Cubs lose, less embarrassingly than yesterday.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Zambrano poised to get rocked again. How many first inning runs this time?

He escapes the first inning only allowing 3 runs.

Fixed.

I'll miss the first half of the game because I'm covering a soccer game but when I get back, I don't think I'll even bother tuning in.

[soccer10k]

By the way, if the time you're listing is central time, it should be 6 pm.

[synergy]

this is a [expletive] loss. Zambrano is the worst pitcher in the rotation right now and he's facing a good team. Seeing how the Cubs lose, I sometimes wonder why I bother be a fan. Cubs win dammit! We have the worst bullpen in the league.

[TruffleShuffle]

cubs lose by about 5

[gflore34]

I'd really like to believe a Zambrano miracle will occur such as scoreless first inning let alone, keeping the Cubs in game. However, the realist in me says Zambrano puts the Cubs in a 3 run hole (along with issuing 3 BB's) after the first.

[C.C.]

Cubs lose this game 6-2. The two runs coming from Z.

[Banedon]

Ok, I'll be the insane optimist here.

 

Zambrano comes out of his funk...flirts with a no-hitter through 5, ends up pitching 7 innings of shutout ball, pulled because of too many pitches, Cubs win 2-0.

[CubColtPacer]

DeRosa sounds a little banged up-he probably will get the day off tonight. If Lee does at well, this is probably the lineup:

 

Theriot

Murton or Floyd

Soriano

Ramirez

Ward

Barrett

Jones

Izturis

 

It could really be anything though. The main thing is that whatever left-handers are in there, Lou is going to try to split them, which helps figure out the lineup order a little bit easier.

[JeffH]

There is really only one question about tonight's game.

 

Will Maine pitch a perfect game or merely a no-hitter?

[Derwood]

lack of national coverage will save me from the pain of this game

[Schwarber Fan]

Time for Z to shine

[Schwarber Fan]

Omar will be by with the numbers, but they don't look pretty

 

Soriano - 2/13 but both are HRs

Ramirez - 2/4

 

Ward and Theriot are 1/1 ;)

Anybody know the moneyline on this game? My guess is NYM -38,000. For all you non-gamblers that means if you want to bet the Mets to win, it costs $38,000 to make a $100 profit. I think it's a good bet.

LOL! Actually the Cubs are -115 and the Mets are -105.

Time to call Costa Rica!!!

Don't suck tonight Z.

Is that an oxymoron?

[soapy]

i assume DeRosa won't start because of his wrist. they will be working with a very short bench with out DeRosa and Lee. i can't wait to see Marquis pinch hit. yay.

Since we have a short bench I am betting on a 15 inning game tonight.
