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.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    suzuki 10d IL.

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.

    Seiya on IL with an oblique strain

    cooper and morel are on the field doing pre-game stuff so it's not them...

    I'll always remember his 3-0 No-hitter against the Braves when Aaron's HR was blown back into the LF well and BIlly Williams made the catch with his back against the ivy.
