Brewers, Stros, White Sox

Could he be any more anti-Cub? When does his Cardinal’s stint start?

Yes he did.

Carlos Zambrano and Rich Harden. Now that's a pair of Aces.

Definitely, good job Teddy

He is just always in danger of giving up dingers, because he relies on the high fastball/curveball combo. When he doesnt get it up enough he gets smoked

Isn’t Z starting tomorrow or Sunday? And he pitched in the ASG.
