It sure would have been nice to see Fukudome pinch hit for Nady because we all know Lou would have pinch hit for Fukudome if they brought in a lefty to face him. Plus it is possible Nady will come out for defense going to the 8th inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

LaRoche hit by pitch

[bushwoodcc]

Can the Cubs trade Grabow for Meek?

 

 

Why is Zambrano in the pen? I don't manage baseball, but for [expletive] sakes the guy is not made for the pen. He allows runners EVERY time he comes in.

[ctcf]

Nice to see Tyler is alive.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Zambrano in to pitch for the CUBS

[Fred Hornkohl]

McCutchen singled to right field , La Roche to second

[PrimeTime]

Garret Jones went to high school in my town? No [expletive]

[bushwoodcc]

Zambrano comes in and the crowd is dead. He can't get ANYONE out, now. What a [expletive] joke.

[Keener98]

[expletive]

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones homered to right field , LaRoche & McCutchen scored

[Old Style]

:banghead:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Doumit doubled to down the left field line

[Fred Hornkohl]

Milledge singled to center field , Doumit to third

[Ballgame64]

The Reds sweep the Pirates allowing a few runs and the Pirates come in and put 9 up on the Cubs.

 

The Royals fired their manager, yet the team with $145 million payroll thinks the status quo is fine. How the hell can Ricketts watch this crap and not clean house?

[Old Style]

Will Z get anyone out today? Stay tuned.

[hardcorecubfan]

Thank god a sorm is roling in and my dish network is down, I do not want to see this

[lumafia]

How has Z helped the bullpen exactly?

 

That's what I thought. Maybe he's not a reliever. Put him back in the rotation already, or trade him. One could probably get a dozen brand new baseballs and a really nice fungo for him right now.

[chasinf5s]

so they just said on the radio that he has not been above 84 mph so far

[Fred Hornkohl]

Chruch, pinch hitting for Meek, popped out (foul) to third base
