Just checking in to say Z needs to stop doing the barehand thing but the play where he knocked the ball down, barehanded it and threw through his legs to Lee who ended up doing the splits was awesome. Shows that Zambrano is quite an athlete.

Yet another reason Z is one of my favorite players. It's always entertaining watching him.

Yes. There was a bench clearing brawl after Runelvys Hernandez threw at Carlos Guillen's head. I'd imagine they'll show it on BBTN.

[Coach C]

Nice diving catch by Walker.

[erik316wttn]

Walker with some leather larceny.

good play by walker. other than the 2 errors, his D has been fantastic...a lot better than i expected.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nifty 7 pitch inning there for Zambrano !!

 

CUBS are 37-18 when they throw less than 17 pitchers per inning.... 8-27 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I don't doubt your stats, but when was the last time the Cubs threw more than 17 pitchers in an inning? Talk about killing your bullpen!
