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

[Flames24Rulz]

How the hell can you let Matt Cain's bat beat you? Both the walk and now this is just pathetic.

[Guest]

Well hell. You hit a linedrive off him and he hits a HR 5 minutes later?

[TysonCBulls423]

just not Z's day.

[TMan92]

HAHAHAHAHA

[Derwood]

just not Z's day.

 

tip your cap?

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Okay...NOW it's game.

 

FAIR ENOUGH

[erik316wttn]

NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING in baseball angers me more than walking the pitcher.

 

dusty baker ruining mark prior and (to some extent) kerry wood makes me more angry

 

I should clarify.

 

Nothing in a game situation makes me more angry than walking the pitcher.

[UMFan83]

Cain is 4-46 now this year

[Sammy Sofa]

WACKITY-SHMACKITY-GEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

[Burtonbell]

Wow...Just wow...

[UMFan83]

What the hell is Z's problem...what a terrible year. Can we take back this freaking contract.

[JonnyRed]

Maybe Z can afford a sports shrink with some of that $91M because he's way too much at the extremes

[erik316wttn]

Gah, if Cain falls off to either side of the mound it's 2-1 right now.

and if we had a real right fielder we might not have allowed any runs.

 

or a pitcher who could get the opposing pitcher out

 

NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING in baseball angers me more than walking the pitcher.

 

If he gets a hit, fine, at least you pitched to him. But god damn, at least throw strikes and don't freaking nibble.

So you aren't mad now.

 

I'm peeved, but at least he pitched to him this time.

just not Z's day.

 

tip your cap?

 

 

nah more like not his day. You don't tip your cap to your own team...

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Maybe we should have walked Cain?

 

Reporter: "Talk about your decision not to walk Matt Cain with first base open."

 

Lou: "ITS THE *^&&^&* PITCHER!!!"

[TMan92]

Cue circus music.

[UMFan83]

What the hell is Z's problem...what a terrible year. Can we take back this freaking contract.

:roll:

 

Sorry maybe you like giving $18.3 million a year to a pitcher with control issues and a 3.88 ERA who saves his worst performances for the stretch of a pennant race, but I pass.

I wouldn't exactly call the second most wins in the majors a terrible season, but it should certainly be better.

[Keener98]

So nice to have an ace who consistently walks people, meltsdown, and cant pitch past the 6th inning on alot of days.

 

So how long before a new "Is Z Hurt" thread?

[Allroy]

Our bats suck. Its hard to watch this while the Brewers mash all over the yard. I blame Gerald Perry.

[JimSorgi]

Wow, if Z could have gotten their pitcher out, this game would be tied.

Using wins is a bad argument.

I like being in said pennant races. Losing Z and replacing him with Gallagher is a great way to never be in one again.
