7/17 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Wash (Stammen) 6:05 CDT, CSN, XM184

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I wonder what it will take for Piniella and Hendry to realize that Ryan Theriot, that no matter how gritty he is, is not a good SS.

 

Ironic for a team so desperately in need of a 2b.

 

Nice play there, though!

[CHCinIC]

nice play mike

 

that inning could have been a lot worse

[Hall7810]

Amazing

[RedFlash]

Looks like Theriot probably just cost us the game.

 

You honestly think the Nationals have enough pitching to keep the lead for another 8 innings?

[Little Slide Rooter]

That inning felt like they scored like 7, and they may as well have as our offense isnt on of those ones that is good at scoring.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Very Cub-like of the Nats to score only 1...thanks though

You know our offense is a joke, right?

except when they scored 6 a day ago

[Hall7810]

Yeah, Bradley should be hitting 2

[coldsteel]

only made it through half the encyclopedia during z's half inning.

July 17, 2009. Mike Fontenot remembers its baseball season and begins to play the game.

We're getting bad lucked tonight so far.

[bcl412]

Hope this isn't on of his games where his offense is better than his pitching.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Im not joking when I say that Z should be batting 6th or 7th when he pitches. Hes easily on the top 5 in guys on the team Id want at the plate in a crucial situation.

[PrimeTime]

I hate the damn bottom of our lineup...Its sad when your pitcher can out perform the 2 guys above him and basically the rest of the guys, especially with 2 outs...Great job Z...Get rid of Koyie and have Fox be the catcher everyday

[bcl412]

Stupid Nationals.

[bcl412]

Theriot's defense pisses me off more than Soriano's bat.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Carlos Zambrano has a career .245 OBP. It's fun when he gets ahold of one, but he is the worst hitter in the lineup when he pitches and should bat ninth.

Only because Soriano is out of the lineup tonight.

I was going to say that the Nationals pitching is worse then the Cubs offense, but then I realize that the Cubs offense is 2nd worse in the NL, and the Nationals have the worst pitching in the NL.

 

With that said, I trust the Cubs offense to score over the Nats pitching to stop the Cubs from scoring.

[OleMissCub]

that was the best backhanded compliment i've ever heard.

Whoever calls the game for the Nats actually said something about walking Zambrano with 1st base open to face the light hitting center fielder in Fukudome.
