Funny thing was we watched him get out of that 6th and get all pumped up like he does and my partner and I agreed that he should be taken out cause as soon as he gets himself going like that he implodes and sure enough, he imploded.

I have Zambrano.Get home from work look at a bit of the game.No runs through five feeling good.Go upstairs take a shower come back to the ballgame and what the heck happened?Had the same thing happen with Wainright earlier this week.Six shutout innings and boom.Pitchers will drive you nuts.At least with a hitter a couple of hits early and it is a good game period.

I missed the game, but announcers were talking about three misplayed balls that led to all or many of the runs Zambrano gave up; none were ruled errors though.

Hey,the Official Scorer has 24 hours to change his mind.There is hope.

Tonight we had Bronson Arroyo and Greg Smith start, plus Francisco Cordero, Joaquin Benoit and Francisco Rodriguez out of the bullpen. Totals:



13.2 IP

9.22 ERA

2.12 WHIP

12 K's

0 wins

1 save (1 BS)



Despite this we lead our league in ERA and were 2nd in WHIP entering tonight, although yeah, that will leave a mark. And cost us three points.

As a Felix owner, 3 times this year he's had a shutout or only 1 run allowed entering the 8th inning and the Mariners leave him in there to get roughed up...Last time it happened against the Red Sox, 7 shutout innings, comes in to pitch the 8th and finishes with still 7 innings and 4 earned runs. Frustrating.

Getting back to the Chicago defense, that is the one thing that can/will hold them back this year. That is a below avg d they run out there. Soriano is a butcher and Fukodome has had trouble out there at times as well. TheRiot is not going to remind anyone of Ozzie either. Basically A Ram and Lee are above avg and Soto is probably avg-above avg. The rest? Below avg-brutal.

Sincerely,



Pissed off Zambrano/Wood owner.
