Comments

Glad to see Lee back in the lineup. Hoping beyond hope that Zambrano will show up and not blow up. I thought Loretta was a bad #5 hitter but now we have Skip Shumaker.

Reds 4-0 off Ben Sheets with only one out... Eckstein out with a sore back Soriano walks on a full count...when pigs fly. Then Molina throws him out easily, is this his first steal attempt since his quad injury?

Z: 1st inning... 14 pitches, 3 up-3 down 5 pitches to Miles, GO 4-3 5 pitches to Ankiel, K 4 pitches to Pujols, 60 6-3

Z: 2nd inning… 16 pitches, 4 up-1BB 30 pitches/2 innings 6 pitches to Edmonds, BB 3 pitches to Shumaker, GO 3U 1 pitch to Spezio, GO 3U 6 pitches to Molina, GO 4-3

Z: 3rd inning… 9 pitches, 4 up-1 single 39 pitches/3 innings 1 pitch to Wainwright, single off Zambrano 3 pitches to Ryan, K 2 pitches to Miles, P6 3 pitches to Ankiel, P4

Z: 4th inning… 9 pitches, 3 up-1 single-1 DP 48 pitches/4 innings 5 pitches to Pujols, single to Ramirez 2 pitches to Edmonds, DP 6-4-3 2 pitches to Schumaker, GO 3U

Z: 5th inning… 13 pitches, 4 up-1 BB 61 pitches/5 innings 6 pitches to Spezio, BB 1 pitch to Molina, F8 3 pitches to Wainwright, P3 (bunt) 3 pitches to Ryan, GO 5-3

Z: 6th inning… 7 pitches, 4 up-1 HR 68 pitches/6 innings Miles 2 pitches, L5 Ankiel 3 pitches, GO 6-3 Pujols 1 pitch, HR Edmonds 1 pitch, GO 4-3

Z: 7th inning… 14 pitches, 3 up-3 down 82 pitches/7 innings 2 pitches to Schumaker, GO 3-1 6 pitches to Spezio, K 6 pitches to Molina, P4

ESPN game cast has him at 88 pitches through 7. Pitching very well tonight Wainwright now out of the game

Z: 8th inning… 13 pitches, 4 up-1 single 95 pitches/8 innings Cairo 6 pitches, F9 Ryan 2 pitches, GO 4-3 Miles 2 pitches, single to left Ankiel 3 pitches, F9

WAY TO GO BIG Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now let's finish these fucking red birds!!!

I'm counting pitches with tivo...so unless comcast isn't showing 2 strike foul balls...I'd say I'm accurate

Len/Bob said Z has 101 pitches...it's a moot point if he's not pitching the 9th.

WARD BUSTS IT OPEN!!!!!!!!!!! WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JOY! JOY!JOY!JOY!JOY!JOY!JOY!JOY!JOY!JOY!

compare and contrast Feliz Pie vs DWard going from the batters box to 2nd. Both things of beauty proving beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Credit to Pie - he came through in a key situation and set up the entire inning. And his baserunning was part of it too, taking third on that chopper to SS.

It is going to be tough to trust Dempster in a big game down the stretch or in the playoffs the way he is pitching. Damn...

Tying run to the plate...FUCK!!!!!!! Get someone up!!!

I had the good fortune to sit in the row behind the dugout at Wrigley not too long ago. Dempster has to be one of the nicest guys, humble, talking to the fans and smiling and just being a good man. Can we please find a total antisocial asshole to close games?

I certainly don't see Lou making an "official" closer change this late in the season....

Tying run in scoring position, winning run on third. WTF!!!

CUBS WIN (Hold on more like it)!!!!! BREWERS LOSING 6-3!!! WOO!!! Up 1 in the loss column with 15 games to go. GO CUBS!!!

he could be the nicest guy on the planet. who gives a rat's ass...he's not ready to pitch in meaninful ballgames. how much more evidence do we need?

i know, but i dont see anyone else there to do the job...i'm not happy about it but what can you do...and game =)

Oh man I can't take this....we're Cubs fans again because?

My heart was racing when that ball went up the middle. On MLBtv i couldn't tell how hard it was hit and thought for a second it was going to get through. Man, I need to get a beer.

I'm numb The capability to think is only gradually returning. However, let's be positive. We dodged a bullet in the ninth that we shouldn't have had to do, but they won. Z was magnificent, and came up huge in a money game. Shine on you crazy diamond. Loved the homers and Pie and Ward in the ninth. Big, big win. Cards now 6 out. Hope Lilly comes up big tomorrow. Go Reds!

Len asked it on TV...Is Ronny okay? Seriously, is he alive? I swear this team is trying to kill him. A couple years ago when Jerome Williams was choking, I was listening to Pat and Ron and Ron says, "Is it never easy, Patrick? Can it never be easy?" Give the guy a break. I Heart Daryle Ward

brewers lose- two 9th inning nailbiters in ten minutes span. Is this what we've been hoping for all season- a meaningful september? why do I feel so queasy?

wow.....kinda parallel games..... what an enormous day. one more finishes the cards, two more puts the cubs in great shape, three more and they're on their way. personally, i'm excited to see marshall again finally tomorrow. what a night. THANKS Z!

Z was magnificent, low pitch count including one 7 pitch inning (and that was the 6th when he gave up the HR to Pujols). No more than 4 batters in any inning he pitched. Only two walks. No tantrum when he was pinch hit for..although Dempster might find a horses head in his bed tonight.

Set a personal best tonight -- held my breath for 8 minutes and 45 seconds in the ninth inning. Anyone still wondering why Dempster doesn't use his fastball more? Because it goes about 400 feet. Interesting move by LaRussa to force Lou's hand on Z -- despite Ward's big hit, it almost worked. Man, this is great/awful/nauseating/exhilerating!

Z has won two starts in a row (following five straight losses). Got 13 ground ball outs tonight. I love it when he pitches like that. Cubs have won 3 in a row.

held my breath for 8 minutes and 45 seconds in the ninth inning. ===== billybucks: now THAT is Cubbie BLUE!

    Word is that Counsell thought Mervis and Wisdom got too much work in yesterday so it will be Wesneski.

  • crunch (view)

    no days off til may 9th.  moves may happen if the pen gets too worked tomorrow.

  • Cubster (view)

    On top of all that…Wicks scratched for Sunday due to “forearm soreness.” Bullpen day again starting with Mervis or Wisdom (or Wesn).

  • crunch (view)

    "Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans."

  • crunch (view)

    rsox putting pablo reyes up to pitch...an infielder...cranking 70+mph stuff.

    ...and of course he gets out of it with no runs scored...that kind of day for the cubs.

  • crunch (view)

    ...and wisdom replaces mervis on the mound to try to get the last out.

    busch is at 3rd, but i wouldn't read too much into that.

    wisdom's thrown a couple in the 80s (one of them 88mph), but both missed the strike zone badly.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis is no david ross on the mound.

    cubs run differential getting destroyed.

  • crunch (view)

    matt mervis pitching...wisdom replaces morel at 3rd.

    he's featuring some high-50s thunder on the fastball.

    through 15 pitches, he's straight up throwing BP...all mid-high 50s lobs.  no way he's going to jose canseco himself out of a job.

    on pitch 21 he railed a 75mph fastball missing high on a 0-1 count.  ha.

  • crunch (view)

    he's hugging canario in the dugout cuz morel will shrivel up and die if he doesn't hug at least a dozen people a day.

  • crunch (view)

    and morel is injured...nice.

    morel trying to play LF from 3rd...runs into canario while leaping and comes down ribs/arm-first.

    hopefully he sticks around to finish this terrible game, or at least is going to avoid the IL.
