04/11 CUBS (Zambrano) @ Milwaukee (Bush) 6:05 CDT, CSN TV

[Little Slide Rooter]

Im not sure if that was so much a nice escape job by Bush, or yet another choke job by the "heart of our lineup".

[Mark Priors Calves]

this is the battle of the butchers in left field.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

There's going to be two outs at the end of that play regardless.

 

I don't blame him for taking the chance.

[GlassCow]

Painful to watch. At least it isn't as bad as the 11-1 butt-kicking I watched live at Yankee Stadium last weekend.

[chuckywang]

If it's any consolation, since ARAM flied out, it doesn't matter now if Kosuke ran or not.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Im not sure if that was so much a nice escape job by Bush, or yet another choke job by the "heart of our lineup".

 

It was neither. It was luck. This happens a *lot* in baseball.

Re: The Cubs

 

something just never change

 

very few if any teams in baseball don't get that run in with their 3-4-5 hitters coming up

 

but the Cubs do

[Outshined_One]

Why is Z back out there?

 

Lou saving the bullpe...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, sorry, I couldn't say that with a straight face after yesterday's lovely managerial outing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rivera struck out swinging

[E.J.]

We need to make some type of new verb for what happened last inning on offense since it seems to happen quite often for the Cubs. Something like, "They really cubbed that last inning."

[Cynosure]

Why is Z back out there?

 

Lou saving the bullpe...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, sorry, I couldn't say that with a straight face after yesterday's lovely managerial outing.

 

Hahaha... well, he's sure been efficient so far.

[Cubswin11]

Why is Z back out there?

With the off day Tuesday and Marshall getting put into the rotation this time through he will get an extra day of rest before his next start.

[GlassCow]

I'm proud of Z's heart and character in this game. His stuff sucked, and he still pitched a solid quality start. I would have prefered to see him throw less pitches, but it is what it is.
