6/18 Cubs (Z!) @ Rays (Sonnanstine) 6:10 CT ESPN & WGN

[BigSlick]

I'm not usually one to give up this early, especially considering how we've played... but I have pretty much zero confidence that we'll win today.

After that play where DeRosa dropped the ball I felt like this series would be the first series we get swept in

 

Patience my friends, we may prevail today

nvm

 

game over

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Zambrano looks like crap tonight.

[Derwood]

and the merry-go-round keeps turning

[Butterscup1679666578]

Yeah lets throw it right down the middle, why not.

[erik316wttn]

Score two, give two right back.

 

The old Cubs are back for tonight, boys.

[inari]

This is gonna be an absolute blowout.

[TysonCBulls423]

A tad bit late there Larry. I think not hitting is throwing off Z big time.

[bcl412]

Why the hell can't our ace pitch like one for 6 months once.

[UMFan83]

Every team gets swept during the year. The Rays are awesome at home, and are certainly good enough to sweep anyone. It sucks but hopefully we can pull out this one or the game tomorrow and take it back to Wrigley where we rule.

[BigSlick]

Don't you love the Z meltdowns when he can't even record a freakin' out

[AlwaysaCub]

130 pitch outings.

Still early there, Tomy.

Z pitching badly for the past month is what is throwing off Z. He's lucky that it's only showed up in the statline today and against the Dodgers. I'm pretty sure he's going to continue sucking until he's inevitably put on the DL for arm problems caused by Lou's idiocy.

[Guest]

Z hasn't really pitched that well recently.

 

Not at all. His numbers wouldn't tell you that....in fact his 7 ER game in LA was probably the best I've seen him throw...which wasn't that great.

 

You know what's strange? Since his 130 pitch outing, Z has an ERA of 5.79 over 3 starts/18.2 IP. He's given up 26 hits during that time too and has an 11 K/8 BB ratio.

There's only a handful of pitchers that can do that. And even they have bad starts from time to time.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And another hit through the right side... :x

[Butterscup1679666578]

get Lieber ready before a 2 run deficit turns into an 8 run deficit.

[BigSlick]

This is gonna be an absolute blowout.

 

 

Still early there, Tomy.

Another scores, we still don't have an out.

 

To be fair, it'd be great if either of our middle infielders had any range

No. We're not. We're going to get swept and go back to Chicago with our tails between our legs.

 

Hooray Old Cubs!

[UMFan83]

Get our long reliever in! Oh wait our long reliver hasn't pitched in like 9 days and is no longer stretched out to go more than an inning or two because he was used as a LOOGY last month.

[Flames24Rulz]

This one is done.

[Butterscup1679666578]

FLOYD SMASH

[erik316wttn]

OH MY GOD! AN OUT!
