Schwarber Fan · June 11, 2007

Why does Yahoo say this game is on WGN?

98navigator · June 11, 2007

Why does Yahoo say this game is on WGN?

Yahoo! doesn't know what it's talking about. This makeup game is on CSN+ because Comcastsportsnet owned the regularly scheduled game from 4/11 (but the Sox also have a game tonight on CSN).

vance_the_cubs_fan · June 11, 2007

We need this one, boys!

UMFan83 · June 11, 2007

If Zambrano doesn't have a good start and the bullpen needs to come in, the price for Soriano hitting 3 home runs on Friday will be 2 games.

Keener98 · June 11, 2007

Well if there was ever a time for Z to show hes the ace of this team its tonight. He needs to go 8 innings and preferably 9 if at all possible. If bad Z is on the mound again tonight, then hes getting sacrificed and staying in the game no matter what.

cubweiser03 · June 11, 2007

Do it.

vance_the_cubs_fan · June 11, 2007

Koyie Hill will catch Zambrano tonight.

Link.

Sammy Sofa · June 11, 2007

Z, please, PLEASE buckle down and realize that you need go at least 7 full innings.

PLEASE.

vance_the_cubs_fan · June 11, 2007

Plz don't suck.

C.C. · June 11, 2007

Need or win or we go on another losing streak.

otis89 · June 11, 2007

Competent umpiring crew and innings from Z, please.

RammyFanny · June 11, 2007

I'll be at Wrigley for the first time this year...i'll try and bring my mojo.

killthegoat06 · June 11, 2007

Come on cubs. Get back into 2nd place.

Guancous · June 11, 2007

If yesterday's umpire was any more incompetent, he would invade Iraq.

jyoung55 · June 11, 2007

If yesterday's umpire was any more incompetent, he would invade Iraq.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

IWU_CUBS_FAN · June 11, 2007

If yesterday's umpire was any more incompetent, he would invade Iraq.

HAHAHA o man good stuff, but in all seriousness i wouldn't mind 7+ outta you tonight Z

Moonlight Graham · June 11, 2007

Come on Z Start the new season 2-0.

Marco4 · June 11, 2007

Koyie Hill will catch Zambrano tonight.

So we won't see both brothers out there, then. :(

Moonlight Graham · June 11, 2007

I wanted to see them Hug it out and then cry.

E.J. · June 11, 2007

Looking at Cubs.com, there are a bunch of tickets available for tonight's game. I'm thinking about picking up a couple and going to watch Z pitch.

Unless the ump is "waiting for" Z to hit Renteria.

That'd be kind of weird, considering the Cubs aren't playing the Braves anymore. :D

rickrolled · June 11, 2007

I'm gonna go with the Cubs falling behind 5-0, staging a fake rally, and eventually losing 5-4.
