[Careless]

But seriously, how does one follow baseball for at least 8 years and not hear of Al Kaline?

I don't know names. People I meet, baseball players, etc.

Grooved one to Pujols. Not a good idea.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Nice play to pick off Holliday.

[Sammys Boombox]

Anybody know what Pujols' career stats are against the Cubs? I keep hearing his HR totals, but he's played a good chunk of games against them and I'm pretty sure he's got a ton of K and an AVG much lower than his overall career AVG.

[hardcorecubfan]

A. that is pretty definitive "no" for Z returning.

 

B. Was Bobby V. interviewing there. His lips were planted firmly against Rickets rear

[BeerHere]

Anyone watching the game on ESPN, it should be perfectly clear that Zambrabo has pitched his last game for the Cubs. Ricketts were in the booth with Valentine and the other guy. They asked him if he could envision a scenario where Zambrano pitches for the Cubs again. His exact answer was "I have a hard time seeing that."

 

If it wasn't obvious already, Zambrano is done with the Cubs.

 

Good riddance.
