Failing to tack on extra runs is really gonna bite us in the bum.

Days when we don't have Aramis in the lineup make me nervous. I really hope Hendry can find a way to inject some hitting power in this lineup if they're really gonna make a run.

PH K's

 

2 down

[inari]

Z's getting some generous calls. I'll take it.

[CubColtPacer]

How has Z looked today?

 

Not dominant, but quite good. He had one inning where he basically caused the run himself by walking a couple batters and hitting a guy. The 4 hits have been mostly bloops.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

120 pitches for Zambrano. This should be his last batter.

[Coach C]

Oh.... I so thought that was a strike...

 

Darn.

[98navigator]

Langerhans walks

 

121 pitches. Lou coming out...

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Go get him.

 

That's good.

 

Here comes Marmol.

[inari]

Bah God. Don't walk crappy hitters, especially when hitters that aren't quite as crappy are up next.

[Coach C]

120 pitches for Zambrano. This should be his last batter.

 

And you are correct. Lou is removing him.

 

Me thinks Dusty would had left him in there.

Lou's taking him out and Z's getting an ovation.

 

Marmol in

[Sammy Sofa]

Lou speaks Spanish, right?

Thanks. That's kind of what I figured based on his line and his high pitch count.

[Coach C]

Lou speaks Spanish, right?

 

I recall he does a little bit.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

120 pitches for Zambrano. This should be his last batter.

Me thinks Dusty would had left him in there.

 

Yep. Dusty would have let him try to get out of the inning and he would have ended up with 135 pitches.

[Coach C]

Oh man, that first pitch was flat out nasty...
