Who else should the Cubs throw out?

I'd rather have games on WCIU than CSN+.

You'll be happy to hear that it's Zambrano on Monday. The starter for Tuesday hasn't been named yet. Oh okay. Good. I wrongfully assumed ESPN was right: http://espn.go.com/mlb/probables/_/date/20110418

I just found out I'm going to see James Russell on Monday Vs. the Padres. ಠ_ಠ

2011 Carlos Zambrano: 1 HR Carlos Pena: 0 HR ಠ_ಠ

I liked the "jump" ritual for the outfielders better than the group hug.

Why not just throw out Jeff Samardzija with a 4-run lead?

It's the Island I have no idea what that means. We have to go back!

Last pitch was a ball. But at least they won.

Carlos Pena does a ton of mound visits. Was Derrek Lee this social with the pitchers?

Can we get these infielders some outfielders gloves?

Man, this game thread is pretty dead for a 4-run lead. What has happened to this place?

[expletive] this series.

Pena, this would be a great time for your first home run.

Dammit Byrd.

That lead-off walk killed us.

Crap.

Come on Woody.

I love this bullpen.
