If Zambrano starts, your in trouble

 

An oldie but a goody.

Back story?

[apete6]

No audio? What the F!

[PrimeTime]

So theres no way for any play by play it looks like?

[inari]

Is this game not even being broadcast? Cubs dot com says "listen live" on it...

I believe it's from Cubs.com. Some cards fan (hogcard or something?) came on the board in early 2003 and started a thread saying exactly that. The better Zambrano did over the course of the season, the more that got bumped.

yeah, last year when zambrano was pitching like crap for the first few weeks, everyone said there must be something wrong with him. then he started pitching better, and nobody said he was hurt any more.

Yea, I remember now. As soon as you said he was hurt, though, I freaked out, so I had to make sure.

 

I do remember him not looking right early on. Wasn't throwing as hard...wasn't striking guys out even when he did do "well." Crap like that.
