I'm going to assume you guys are all joking and weren't seriously expecting Z to be sharp in his first start back from the DL.

 

No, but I didn't expect this either.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nice! Z k's Gonzalez swinging with a 96 MPH fastball.

[cheapseats]

Shouldn't that be a strike? Eckstein never pulled the bat back.

 

doesn't matter, it hit him

 

Incorrect. Swing = no hbp.

I don't know why but that reminded me of the line "it doesn't matter it's in the past." Can anyone name that movie? Yes if you are wondering it is THAT movie.

[Derwood]

no team with Scott Hairston batting cleanup should win anything ever

[Sammy Sofa]

Shouldn't be surprising at all given Z's history of often being shaky or worse after coming back from missing starts and how he can worked up.

[CubbieBum]

Nice! Z k's Gonzalez swinging with a 96 MPH fastball.

That was a really sharp pitch hehehe

[Sammy Sofa]

Z's got some good sliders going tonight. He's gotta reign in his higher pitches to get guys to swing at them, though.

[illiniguy]

Any doubt Giles walks here?

[CyHawk_Cub]

The insurmountable 1-run deficit....

[CubbieBum]

The insurmountable 1-run deficit....

 

I like it.

[Sammy Sofa]

I'll take it.

[Keener98]

Of course our "ace" comes off the DL and cant throw strikes against the San Diego Freaking Padres, but Chris Carpenter comes off the DL and shuts up completely down. Of course

Dave Duncan is Jesus. I know this because I was able to watch about him all week on ESPN and MLB network.

I guess God hates you.

[illiniguy]

Awesome warnings issued. Z could easily get tossed for nothing tonight.

[Friendly Confines]

We are teh suck

[Little Slide Rooter]

Damn Peavy for not waiting 2 more batter to hit a guy, and not throwing it as hard as he can.

Wow Im shocked you have a smartass comment. Completely unexpected

[Sammy Sofa]

Seems like a silly thing to retaliate over on the Padres' part. Z is clearly all over the place, and why would the Cubs even want to hit Eckstein? If they were going to plunk anyone on purpose A-Gon is the only one worth doing it to.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Damn Peavy for not waiting 2 more batter to hit a guy, and not throwing it as hard as he can.

 

...and at his boy parts

In all seriousness though God probably does hate you.

It would be like me being surprised that you're wallowing in melodramatic misery yet again.

Stop it both of you. Post about the game, not about each other.
