7/29 BigZ makes it W3 (There's a game at 7:05pm on WGN TV)

[Joe_Cub]

Is there any doubt Lou uses Z in the 8th?

 

yes?

 

no one up in the pen

 

That would be incredibly stupid.

 

should warm up eyre for laughs if nothing else

[Careless]

I think Lou is goint to let Carlos go the distance. Z does not have a complete game, although he could have 2-3 if Lou didn't yank him.

That would take about 140 pitches

All part of the plan.

[NotSoSober]

Is Zambrano erally coming out for the 8th? Wow.

[TruffleShuffle]

We shouldn't have tempted fate by mocking Yost's overuse of his pitchers.

 

abusing zambrano is different than abusing sheets... zambrano has been abused for years with minimal effects. sheets gets hurt all the time.

 

that being said, i'm not thrilled that zambrano is gonna have back to back outings of ~120 pitches.

He's at 103. I doubt he gets to 140.

[Magnetic Curses]

you look like pinnochio.

[InconspicuousZ28]

They need to show the pitch counts more often.

[Andy]

Mass exodus of Brewers fans.

 

Enjoy the series. :lol:

z has a blister theres the other shoe dropping

[Sammy Sofa]

Can't say it enough...Lou is bullpen [expletive].

[bcl412]

If Z has the start of a blister I am taking down all blisters world wide.

[TruffleShuffle]

these announcers are talking about how long lou's letting zambrano go and it being a reflection of what bad shape the cub bullpen is in. strange that they didn't have similar comments about sabathia throwing like 125 pitches last night.

I'll throw a benefit for that.

Apparently Lou needs to make sure something doesn't go perfect today. He's really Yosting this right now.

[haubrich91]

Get this out and then PLEASE take him out, Lou.

[Magnetic Curses]

brewers begging for walks all night. just swing the bat, bungholes.

[TruffleShuffle]

shut your mouth, dubya

you do realize Z would break a bat over Lou's junk if he took him out of the game.

 

That's how Z rolls.

[BleacherBadger]

Ryan Braun is going to get wasted tonite after the game.

I think Z's going to finish this one.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

This has been a very "easy" 118 pitches. He hasn't had a high stress inning and if we can have fresh arms in the pen the last 2 games, let him finish the damn thing. Edited July 30, 2008 by ChiCubsfan0502

Not a chance.

You know why I love Kasper?

 

Because he cites guys like Sheehan.
