I hope that's it for Z, 112 pitches and he's up first... just hope ?? (novoa)/Demp can hold this down.

 

hate to see the reaction from this statement, but with the hitters due up in the top of the 8th it looks like a decent time to use remlinger. i don't want to see him overuse novoa like he did weurtz earlier in the year.

[badger1679666666]

Zambrano going back out.

[Blueheart05]

Z still in the game.

[AlwaysaCub]

And Z strikes out.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Z going to take one for the 7 man bullpen.

[Omar]

Yup. Hockey is back. How exciting. 8-[

[JGalt73]

But Macias is hitting 'em real hard - just right at people!

[Brian]

Z better make the 8th inning quick, or they better get someone up right away.

[badger1679666666]

So we line out hard to everyone, and they bloop single our asses. Great.

[Coach C]

Wow, what a productive inning. *Shaking head in disbelief*

deja vu. not watching today, but my impression last night was that if one of the ten screaming line drives the Cubs hit finds green, the game is a blowout.

[Omar]

Zambrano still in :shock:

[Blueheart05]

Nice play by Walker

 

1 out

[Brian]

Good start.

[hawkeyecub]

I loved Holla last year and I think he did a great job coming off the bench and getting the occasional start. This year, due to Dusty's horrible misuse, I like him less and less every AB.

 

That is a very crowded company you are in :evil:

 

I know, and it grows by the day. I don't want to hate Holly, but I can't like him while he's sucking it up like this.

 

There's no reason to dislike Hollandsworth for it though. He's going out there and playing the same way he did last year.

It's not his fault that he's being overused.

[otis89]

Cruz with a single.

[Coach C]

In other news, Mike Sweeney hits a 3 run HR to tie the game 5 all aganist the White Sox in the 8th.

[Brian]

Get someone up!!

[Omar]

Tie game.

[otis89]

Crap. Tie game. Zambrano needs to be taken out!

[TuffyRhodes]

pitch count prediction anyone?

[illiniguy]

unreal. we are gonna lose this game.

[Brian]

AND DUSTY BLOWS ANOTHER ONE LEAVING THE PITCHER IN TOO )&(&(*&(*& LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!fjOASDUFJOIDSAJFOIDSAFJM

[Flames24Rulz]

how big would that run look now if we had gotten it?

[David]

Just stoppin in to say what a GREAT move it was to leave Zambrano in for the 8th inning.. after 112 pitches.. :roll:
