8/23 Cubs (Zambrano) at Giants (Cain) 2:35 PM CT, WGN

[Anomalied]

How many times has it happened that we have Zambrano going in the third game of a series, going for the sweep, against a weak lineup and inferior pitcher and we lose? I can remember the first series against the Sox, the last game before the break against the Bucs, and now (looks like) today.

[cubbyvirus00]

i'd rather have the giants lineup then our lineup currently.

[TruffleShuffle]

it's pretty clear who this team's ace is...and it's not the guy with the $90 mil contract.

 

not the headcase with one pitch, right?

[cubscausestress]

cubs will get a couple over the next two innings.

overreaction much?

 

Z hasn't pitched like an ace this season.

No kidding. He gave up 2 runs. It happens.

We lost the first game against Pittsburgh

[RyCubsFan]

Didn't we come from behind the last two days folks? We can do it again today.

We didn't have the sweep against the Bucs.

Cain is clamping down

[Handlebar McSkullet]

did he throw like 30 pitches that inning?

No kidding. He gave up 2 runs. It happens.

 

Hill has been better than Zambrano overall this year.

[illiniguy]

nice swing.

[hawkeyecub]

Carlos finally decides to shorten his swing, puts it in play and gets on thanks to an error.

[moorecg]

Good Lord knows we need a break...maybe that was it.

overreaction much?

 

look at stats much?

[moorecg]

This doesn't feel good.

[Allroy]

Our offense needs to wake up. Its been horrible for some time now.

[salukifudd]

cubs will get a couple over the next two innings.

 

Cain is clamping down

 

Cain isn't pitching that great, the Cubs just aren't getting it done.

[TruffleShuffle]

another solid inning for the offense... good thing we have craig monroe and his .264 OBP on the way

[cubbieblue12]

When was the last time we swept somebody? I can't remember one time this year.

 

EDIT: I got a little carried away.

But an ace doesnt walk the opposing teams pitcher, and consistently have games of 4+ walks.

[Choonch]

I'm getting really tired of watching this offense.
