[Rusch33]

Uh OH, 2 outs heres where Zambrano can't help but give up some runs now.

 

What? :lol:

[SouthSideRyan]

Riot needs a night off

 

we don't have a backup SS unfortunately.

 

DeRosa isn't awful out there.

[Guest]

No more 2 out rallies, Z.

[CubsBears29]

Z at 95... will he come back out?

 

If not... Marmol/Howry/Demp if have a lead by the time top9 comes around?

I think so.

correct - Riot just had an offday Monday though, he's fine.

[BigSlick]

Darnit Cubs, lock this game up, you could help yourselves so much if you just took this one game down.

[weatherdood]

If his spot comes up this inning, he's done...if not...no reason why you don't send him out to at least start the 7th.

[UMFan83]

Z will come back out for the 7th. Too big of a game. Actually 94 pitches in 6 innings is pretty effecient for Z sadly

I wouldn't think so because he has played every other position pretty well, but I have no idea. Lou has only played him there, what, one half game?

[TysonCBulls423]

lol I thought of Vance as soon as he said that.

[CubFanPhilly]

Z at 95... will he come back out?

 

If not... Marmol/Howry/Demp if have a lead by the time top9 comes around?

 

Z's good for at least one more. My guess is Marmol/Demp or Wood/Wuertz depending on the situation.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Derwood made it on TV! :lol:

[UMFan83]

Is it just me or does it seem like all Ramirez can do with that outside pitch is foul it away?

 

It's not a terribly bad thing, but it's just something I noticed.

[Andy]

lol I thought of Vance as soon as he said that.

Wouldn't be remotely surprised if that's who it was. :D

[BigSlick]

These deep flyballs really suck.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez flied out to right field

[Schwarber Fan]

It would be nice if Ramirez would HR again.

Or flyout to rightfield.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Floyd singled to center field

[CubsBears29]

Freaking Edmonds being a bleep again... made a great diving OTS catch in straight-away CF to rob CLee of extras.

[BigSlick]

*sigh*

 

You couldn't have done that a couple innings ago, could you, Floyd?

[UMFan83]

It would be nice if Ramirez would HR again.

 

Not allowed to have a 20 HR hitter on the team

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Not me guys. I'm assigning homework all week.
