Come on, you douche. Pitch the ball.

Here we go

Nice! Way to go, JP!

Alright, top of the order coming up. Let's make something happen.

Great, now Mabry will start at first tomorrow.

I hate the Cubs.

"That was a good take." Of course it was... it was a ball!

What a freaking douche bag.

1st pitch DP or 2nd pitch DP?

Great, here comes an inning ending DP.

He's struck out NINE!!!!!!! It's not about the strikeout. He's pitched poorly overall. I don't buy that this was a "quality start." He made some poor decisions on the mound and allowed himself to be beaten by their few good hitters (namely Cabrera). Well then maybe you should go and redefine QS. Because he's had one. I didn't say he didn't make mistakes, but he's got a few. Our offense needs to stop swinging at 1st pitches. No, you said he struck out 9 as if that was a sign of quality. My point was that he made key mistakes that led to runs scored. he's struck out 10 and given up 3 ER. Quality start whether you buy it or not. It doesn't matter what we call it, walking guys and giving up homeruns and doubles, right afterwards, isn't smart pitching. It's like he looses his concentration on the mound. Maybe he didn't lose his concentration. Maybe he was beat by a good hitter. How bout 7 innings, 3 ER, 11 ks? Still a "poor" outing? Perfect? No. Poor? Of course not. He's admitted to losing concentration on the mound a few times already this year. Also, once a walk is issued, it would be nice if he would work hard on getting the next man. If these were better hitters this game would have been busted open. Remember, he walked a guy on 5 (?) pitches after giving up the 3rd run but was able to rally and Rothschild had to run out to help him refocus. If he were pitching against a better team this could easily be a larger deficit. so you base your argument on what would have happened against another team even though you have no clue what would have actually happened. In case you're not watching, he's had sick sick stuff with a few mistakes. You're twisting my position. No i'm rewriting your position. "If he were pitching against a better team he would have an easier defecit". You're talking about a hypothetical situation and criticiszing Z based on that, and that's plain crap. I don't have anything to add, I just thought we should have another long quote in this thread.

Zambrano pinch hit on Saturday? Why do I not remember that?

On the first freaking pitch after a 4 pitch walk. Prized acquisition, Karros? Please.

You have a girl in your room and youre on your computer? :? :lol:

Way to go Neifi, you loser.

Of course he catches it.

F U ESPN

Z's control has been crap again. He struck out swinging then broke his bat over his knee, Bo Jackson style. ESPN wont shut up about Bartman. That pretty much sums it up.

How many of you who are upset at Z for what he did got pissed at Corey for supposedly showing no emotion? You don't have to answer, it's okay.

Problem is that 3 of his 4 starts have been bad, with lots of walks. Bad sign. I know. Maybe it is just a coincidence, but the Cubs have been telling him to tone it down this year. I want the fiery Z back.

Lighten up, people. He's having a crappy game and he's showing his emotions. Not a big deal. In fact, I think it's a great sign.

Growing up hasn't been working out for him too well this season. He's been pretty damn good when he hasn't been told how to act.

YES! I love that!

Ahh, I thought that one was gonna get into the outfield.

Please stop calling him O-B.
