First of all, thank you Fred for helping me out with he 7/22 thread. The Cubs now invade St Louis for a three game, mid week series. The big man, Carlos, brings to battle his 12-7 record, 3.69 ERA, and 1.26 WHIP. He has struck out 117 and walked 59 batters in 136 2/3 innings pitched. He also looks to extend his scoreless innings streak, which currently stands at 15 and 2/3. Look for Carlos to bring his "appetite" for winning... http://farm1.static.flickr.com/75/217124953_a3a12daf14.jpg ...as he "paints" the corners,... http://www.opieart.com/img/news/zambrano.jpg ...and the Cardinals prepare for their fate. http://www.mollyknight.com/RolenHurt.jpg The unfortunate victim on the otherside of this matchup is Kip Kip "Hooray" Wells. He will enter action sporting a record of 4-12, a 5.75 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. He has struck out 76 and walked 50 in 101 2/3 innings pitched. He's about as handsome as he is good at pitching. Not very. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/230/495658894_fa6b609f83.jpg He may tribe to bribe the umps with "favors"... http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/20/207360.jpg but he, like rolen, is resigned to his fate for Tuesday evening. http://images.stltoday.com/stltoday/resources/wells315hr3runwatch051707fl.jpg
