8/29 Cubs (Zambrano) vs. Brewers (Sheets) 7:05 CT CSN

[Mizzou]

Carlos needs somebody to punch to get him back on track

Let him beat Eyre around for awhile.

 

Nice throw, Riot

[Brian]

Ryan "What Big League Learning Curve?" Braun killed us again.

 

Not that big a deal. We'll be 1.5 out after tonight with the pitching advantage tomorrow.

 

We all know how that turns out.

 

a lefty we haven't faced, how is that our advantage?

1.5 ahead you mean?

Yeah, whoops.

Brenly=Santo?

Do we have the pitching advantage? Lilly has struggled in August, and hes a lefty which the Brewers murder. On the other hand, we are facing a rookie lefty, who we can't hit. Brewers will win the game and the series tomorrow.

[CubsBears29]

Why didn't someone warn me about Brenly?

 

Wow. Stick to the talking and leave the singing to the shower, BobbyBoy.

[SouthSideRyan]

Riot tried really hard to f that one up too.

 

Geez, he's been terrible tonight, showing little range on a few balls, I thought he might have a chance on, popping up the bunt, and first pitch hacking when we desperately needed to get Sheets out of the game.

Advantages on paper never turn out very well for this team. See: Doug Davis, Bronson Arroyo, Ben Sheets, etc etc.

[BigSlick]

I wish we could surrender or something.

 

I don't want to see us scrap together a couple runs and lose 6-4 anyway.

Z's ERA in August is officially 7.36 in 29.1 IP (5 starts)

 

8.59 if you take out his decent start against the Mets.

[Shavo]

Theriot and Soriano are pretty bad.

Holy cow, Brenly sounds like a clone of Santo singing the stretch.

[Keener98]

Id really like to know why Z is taking a beating? It was Theriot that caused that inning, and then a bloop hit. Z threw a good game, but once again you arent going to win when your pathetic ass offense can only score 1 run off a guy who hasnt pitched in 7 weeks.

 

I agree.

 

Seriously its not that hard to figure out. Our offense is the problem plain and simple.

[Andy]

8.59 if you take out his decent start against the Mets.

0.00 if you take out any start in which he has given up an earned run.

What is it if you take out his worst start?

[Schwarber Fan]

I wish we could surrender or something.

 

I don't want to see us scrap together a couple runs and lose 5-4 anyway.

 

Brewers manage to lose a run?

 

cool

[Fred Hornkohl]

Shouse in to pitch for Milwaukee

I fixed it.

[David]

And so begins the fake rally.

[genbar]

good start.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones singled to right field

[TysonCBulls423]

why are people blaming Soriano? What did he do?

[Schwarber Fan]

fake rally?
