Darthkat is totally right. Zambrano did an outstanding job. He deserved a standing ovation especially for the fact that he did not let the little league defense behind him cause a total meltdown. White he might not have pitched brilliantly, he pitched solidly. The blame for the atrocious performance last night was solidly on Cubs batters swinging at the worst **** they possibly could have and on the absolutely ridiculous little league defense by the infield. Lee, Derosa, Theriot and Ramirez all made huge errors. They were embarrassing to watch. They lost that game. Teams that look that awful do not deserve to even go to the playoffs, let alone win. Also I agree that Lou was smoking crack when he lets Fukudome hit and brings in Ward to pinch. There are bats up and down the Cubs roster that are far superior to both of them. Really, Zambrano was the only player out there last night (or manager) that didn't make me feel utterly ashamed and embarrassed to be a Cubs fan.

This is my first post in the Arena ever. As much as I'm not a Sox fan and didn't exactly expect them to win yesterday, at least they made a game of it. This was such a Chicago baseball moment: an epic, definitional example of the word choke.

Oh and btw, I saw somewhere that out of the 7 runs during Z's innings, only 3 of them were earned. The other 4 were thanks to our little league defense.

No, only two of them were earned. This loss was squarely on the defense. They made errors that gave up runs.

Chi Cubs IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
Zambrano (L, 0-1) 6.1 6 7 3 2 7 1 4.26

From the Gameday wrapup on cubs.com

EDIT: Ugh, my spacing attempt didn't work. Anyways, it was 3 ER. I don't think they counted Theriot's first bobble when he tried to barehand it in the 2nd.

baseball-reference.com also has it at 3 ER. Either way, the CUbbies lost because of their D and their O, not because of Z.

I stopped watching a few minutes ago. I'm depressed enough as it is with this being my first night back (after 3 months) to my crappy Saturday night through Wednesday night work schedule. cry

Yeah if the Cubs get swept I think that's it for me as a Cubs fan. I am so far beyond being utterly sick of this crap that I just would rather do something else with my energy.

And DeRo strikes out to end the inning. Bahhhhh, I blame my boss for calling and reminding me about the game even though I had stopped watching.

Good for you. I hope you enjoy the years of heartbreak and embarrassment you face. I am done with this pathetic display of non-talent.
