9/19 Cardinals (Wainwright) at Cubs (Mr No No), 1:20 CT, CSN

Go Lou!

 

What did Lou do?

 

Making Z go back to the mound

[Cynosure]

Go Lou!

 

What did Lou do?

 

He came out to get Z and he started walking off the mound before Lou got there. Lou made him walk back to the mound before he took the ball from him.

[BCVM22]

This sucks. Now we have to root for the Reds tonight. Ugh.

Zambrano's last two starts against the Cardinals:

 

6 IP, 16 H, 16 Runs, 16 ER, 4 BB's, 4 K's, 5 HR's

 

 

I don't what's more frustrating his Zambrano' piss-poor performance against the Cardinals or seeing crap like Schumaker, Kennedy, Lopez and hit him all over the yard.

[rynefan]

Leave it to the Cubs to drag out the Magic Number

[weis21]

Thanks for the info.

 

Hopefully this is just Z's "hangover" start and he'll be nice a pissed from here on out.

They did just knock 8 games off of it in the last 6 days...

[laurens]

Jus what we need, more runs!

[Cynosure]

Well this reminds me of a couple years ago after prom when we all went to see the Cubs play the Brewers... It was 8-0 in the 2nd and we knew it was a loss so it was kind of entertaining to see how high they could go. Fatty hit 3 HR that game.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Umpires miss calls.

 

Fans on message boards miss many, many more.

 

How many does K-Zone miss? Or do camera angles affect a computer simulated RULEBOOK strikezone?

 

What's the margin of error on K-zone? Honestly, I'm asking.

 

A lot more accurate than umpires.

 

Soo... you don't know?

[UMFan83]

3.77 ERA for Z. Now a 36 point jump today.

[gflore34]

More Cardinal bloops...

[TruffleShuffle]

This sucks. Now we have to root for the Reds tonight. Ugh.

 

why were we going to root for the brewers?

 

and aside from zambrano's inconsistency, i'm not sure what really sucks about a 9 game lead with 11 to play.

[anabiono]

zambrano's era can be in the 5's for all i care (i know, i am exaggerating)

 

as long as he is healthy and mentally stable for the playoffs...that is all i care about at this point

 

really...all i am caring about is his health...because he is just fine in the playoffs mentally

[Old Style]

The Cubs were down 8-0 earlier this year against the Rockies. If memory serves, I think I sung "Go Cubs Go" at the end of that one.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ugh, so Soto's out because of an injury?

 

Awesome
