Zambrano flied out to right field, no? Sportsline said left. :evil: It was right field, trust me. :wink: Yeah I know, I'm watching it but I just take the descriptions from SL. BTW, Fred, you want your play by play duty back? No thanx.... it's my day off !!

Zambrano flied out to right field, no? Sportsline said left. :evil: It was right field, trust me. :wink:

I wonder if the Brewers can pull a page out of the CUBS playbook and strand a leadoff double ??
