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.

    Childersb3: Miguel Cruz walked six in 1.2 IP in his last start, so I guess he is improving. Wilme Mora also walked six in one of his appearances a week or two ago, and one or two others have walked five. I don't know what would be the most I have ever seen a pitcher throw in a game out here, because the manager / pitching coach usually gets the pitcher out of the game if it gets too ridiculous. 

    As for the attendance, probably about 20 of the 25 were early arrivals for the Savannah Bananas game who came over to Field # 1 to see what was going on, and once they saw all the bases on balls (12 walks by Cubs pitchers and four by Angels pitchers) they ran away screaming. I'm used to it so it didn't bother me that much.

    Jed has added Teheran, Tyranski, Kissaki, and now Straily and Nico Zeglin today.

    Zeglin is 24 yrs old. Pitched well at Long Beach St in '23 and well in some Indy Ball.

    They also added Reilly and Viets in late ST.

    Have to search for MiLB arm depth anywhere you can and at all times!!!

    25 in Attendance!!!

    Phil, is that a backfield record?

    Also, 6 BBs for Cruz in 2 IP. What's the most walks you've seen in one EXT ST outing that you can recall?

    He has a pulse. Apparently that’s the only requirement at this point.

    cubs sign dan straily...for some reason.  minor league deal.

    welcome back.

    zac rosscup is down in mexico trying to make it happen...maybe they could throw him a contract, too.  junior lake is his teammate.  shore up a bunch of holes with some washups.

    The great thing about going to live sports events is you don't know if you're going to see something historic. Today I went to the Cub game, after putting the liner back in my coat and fishing my Cubs knit hat out of the closet. I needed all that- my seats are in the upper deck, left, so the east wind was in my face. Both teams failed to capitalize on good situations, but both starters did a good job to accomplish this. So, we go to the bottom of the sixth inning. The Cubs tie it up, and then Pete Crow-Armstrong comes up. We all know he would still be in AAA if not for injuries, and future Hall-of-Famer Justin Verlander absolutely carved up the young fellow up in his first two plate appearances. So this time he hits a fly ball. The wind was blowing in and had suppressed several strong fly balls- including a rocket off Altuve's bat that Canario hauled in (does anybody else remind me of Jorge Soler?) , but the ball kept carrying and carrying. 107mph, legit angle and carry. The crowd went nuts, the dugout went nuts. Maybe, just maybe, I saw the first homer from a long-term Cub.

    Which was my original premise. They won the trades but lost their souls. They no longer employ the Cardinal way which had been so successful for so long.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.
