Zambrano was not happy

that Theriot didn’t throw out Pence on a grounder in his previous start. Supposedly led to Zambrano showing him up and players not being happy about it.

the Cubs are probably approaching a record for consecutive innings without allowing a ‘you-know-what’

I’ll see if I can dig through some box scores to confirm.

The same team has never had two no-nos in consecutive games
