To get the thread back on topic, excellent game for Z both on the mound and with the bat. Jacque continues to hit the ball well with another HR. Tony Womack was the only starter without a hit. 5 players with 2 hits. Let's hope the Cubs continue to play well and pick on Houston when they are on a losing streak.
Good, I'm glad to see the Cubs slowly work him back up. If he's going to make two more starts at the minor league level, which it sounds like he'll do, I'd rather have him pitch one at AA and one at AAA.
No, this is the game that will be buried on Sportscenter behind the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Michell Wie, Red Sox/Yankees and Barry Bonds Except for the fact that it already led Baseball Tonight.
No it's not, are you crazy? You leave him in with 115 BECAUSE it's a no no. The minute that's over, you pull him. Agreed. You have to get him out immediately after he gives up the hit.
Oh man, you better hope it's still going through the 5th. If 5th goes 1-2-3... I'm not going to scapegoat him. Agreed. Ahem... Technically, Shavo is off the hook now because Z only allowed a walk.
