6/10 Cubs (Z) at Astros (Wandy) 7:05 PM WGN

[CyHawk_Cub]

Great game Z....Screw you offense

[Old Style]

Random question; which team is more popular in Texas between the Rangers and Astros?

Depends where in Texas you are. And also who is currently winning.

[inari]

Best outing of the season for Z. I doubt he's got another inning in him. We'll see.

[Sammy Sofa]

If the Cubs get the lead I want Z in for the ninth.

 

Nah, dangerous hitters up who have seen him several times. I'd go with the Gooz.

[Careless]

It seems like it's been a long time since Z has thrown a 97 mph straight, high fastball

[apete6]

Z catching the throw back with his bare hand.

 

Nasty slider.

 

You running him back out there if Cubs score?

[Old Style]

GET Z SOME RUNS! :banghead:

I wouldn't. Give me Guzman.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have been outscored in the ninth inning, 18-15.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TruffleShuffle]

great outing Z, sorry the offense sucks and can't get hits when their teammates are on base.

Yeah, it's the fourth time through the order and he'd be facing 2-3-4. As much as I'd like to see Guzman, I'm hoping it's Gregg, since that would mean the Cubs took the lead.

That sounds nice as well; the problem is you know Lou isn't going use Gooz. He's going to make us endure another Gregg induced heart attack.

I wouldn't. Give me Guzman.

 

I assume Gregg and Marmol will be warming up and Gregg will head out if the Cubs take the lead.

 

Make that Gregg and Guzman.

No way, dude, hes not "the closer"...

[bcl412]

I want Kevin Gregg.

[Old Style]

Z didn't look too happy with Lou there. I assume that means he's done. Edited June 11, 2009 by Old Style

How about another bomb by Geo?

Plus Z bats 4th in the inning, so if the Cubs take the lead it will probably involve Z being pinch-hit for.

 

With both warming though, it looks definite that Z is done..just a question of which guy comes in for him.

[Sammys Boombox]

Gregg if they score, Guz if they don't. That's what it looks like to me.

[TruffleShuffle]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'd have to imagine Guz if it stays the same and Gregg (gag) if we happen to take the lead.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-3 when they're tied at the end of the 8th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Brian]

i'm predicting a carlos lee walk off bomb

[Tryptamine]

This is just one of those games where I can't envision the Cubs scoring.

[Sammys Boombox]

Sometimes I think that Geo has one of the worst batting eyes on the team. He seems to take so many hangers and fastballs with a good chunk of the plate and then swing at breaking balls out of the zone.
