And so it falls to Cub ace Carlos Zambrano on this, Hack Wilson's 108th birthday, to reverse the curse:

The Chicago Cubs have never won a game in Washington's Natonals Park. For the love of God, they've never even held a lead!!!

The Chicago offense went hitless in seven AB's with men in scoring position in Friday night's 5-3 defeat. Ryan Theriot, however, was able to extend his National League lead in Caught Stealing.

Like last night's Nats starter, Odalis Perez, and Sunday's starter, John Lannan, Chico throws with the wrong hand. So be it--Cubs enter the game 6-2 vs. left-handed starters this year after going 19-23 against southpaws in '07. (Chico did stifle the Cubs with seven shutout innings in the only Washington victory over Piniella's crew last season.)

Zambrano is coming off a 7-inning, 1-run effort on Monday against the Mets, a game the Cubs captured, 7-1. He walked two men in that game. Two--that's his high for the season.

How nice is it to be able to say that?

wtf just happened in LA? ambulance on the field for an ump but the announcers seem to be content calling it "the incident" and not showing footage or talking about it.

Penny hit Kerwin Danley in the chin with 96 and knocked him out cold in the 4th. Russell Martin just didn't catch it, apparently. Meanwhile, in the bottom of the first, Mark Redman gave up 10 runs and Clint Hurdle left him in. I cannot possibly begin to understand that. Haven't been following Colorado very closely, but I don't believe that the Rockies bullpen is so burned that he's got to leave Redman out there to go down with the ship.

Wes: Meanwhile, in the bottom of the first, Mark Redman gave up 10 runs and Clint Hurdle left him in. I cannot possibly begin to understand that. I agree, that's almost hostile, unless the guy REALLY wants to mop up his own game, getting lit in the process. crunch: ambulance on the field for an ump but the announcers seem to be content calling it "the incident" and not showing footage or talking about it. Probably because if the dude died or something, it would be bad form to keep showing replays.

yeah, was just wondering what exactly happened. espn and COL's announce team both shared footage (at nearly the same time) when the medical report was released. im sure it was showed after it happened until they realized the severity of the situation to find out what happened. i just stumbled into the aftermath of realization. all i knew when i tuned in was an ambulance was there, they were talking about an ump being taken away, and how other umps were consoling martin/penny and martin was shaken up. thnx guys.

Yes he did, but in that particular situation, his bullpen was so burned up late in the season that he almost didn't have a choice. Marquis had to give him 4 or 5 innings even if he gave up 20 runs, which he almost did. The difference is that this is April, and I don't think that Colorado's bullpen is toast right now. They did get a short start from Jiminez on Friday, but they got 8 strong from Cook against us on Thursday and 6 from Morales on Wednesday. I understand not wanting to throw your pen 8+ on Saturday after they threw 6+ on Friday, but it's April. Can't leave your #4 out there to give up a 10 spot.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
