Grand Slam Time for Zambrano!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howdahell are we supposed to score any runs with the bases all clogged up like that ???

[Fred Hornkohl]

Santo: "You gotta take it for the team."

If it was a matter of choice.... I'd take 4 there instead of 2, no?

[Outshined_One]

Show of hands.

 

Up until that play there, how many of you have ever seen an infield single plate two runs without an error involved?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We might win today. Not that it matters, but a win is a win.

[Balsa]

Matters to me and matters to Ryno.

 

Good baserunning by Holly, and a great decision by Spier.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Here's one that's kind of counter intuitive......

 

CUBS are 42-37 when the opponents strikeout 8 or less times, 18-31 when they K more than 8 times.

 

Go CUBS !!

Never seen it happen. Santo said the same.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Well, it still qualifies as a quality start for Zambrano......

 

CUBS are 49-24 when they get a quality start,... 12-44 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sure is a whole lot of base clogging going on here.

[lowest]

burnitz not happy and rightly so....

[EricG]

looked safe on the replay

Zambrano should tell him he needs glasses

[otis89]

looked safe on the replay

 

I agree. He was definitely safe.

[CubsHawks25]

I really don't care about the season anymore, but Marty Foster can go take a leap into Lake Michigan and forget to float!

 

Burnitz was safe and it wasn't even close!

 

 

And good ol' Hollandsworthless Ks - gooooood job!

[otis89]

Cedeno!! Yes!!

[badger1679666666]

What a great at-bat by cedeno.

 

8)

[lowest]

great AB by cedeno

[CubsHawks25]

Cedeno gets ya off the hook (momentarily), Foster. You might not be beaten to a pulp after leaving the ballpark, afterall.

[badger1679666666]

Wait, I didn't think Rookie right handers could hit stud right hand pitching.
