Man you must really be a professional baseball analyst.
I never realized RBIs were completely controlled by one player…. oh wait, they aren’t.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Soriano’s bat ALWAYS feels like a telephone pole. Heaviest bat in the league.

i think it's the friday nite movie special on WGN...
comercials are on WGN regularly…and yes, she’s a looker
So I forgot we were winning for a second there
Keep up the good work Z. 9 more outs.
Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.
GREAT game tonite
glad to see US on the + side of a pitching duel…
love an offensive game, put pitcher’s duels rule…..hope this ’un holds out
Does this really qualify though?
I mean, both pitchers have been getting outs, I suppose, but both offenses have also been inept…
sorry
i’ll clarify by saying i would also love to see a 10-7 game (i.e.) as well

I'm not watching,
but when I read this, I thought “uh oh.” Seems to be a pattern with Z. He’ll walk a guy, get upset, give up a big hit. Still love the guy, though.
This line from a movie, television show or other piece of popular culture pretty much sums up my entire personality.

expect our starters to throw shutouts every game. The stars have to step up, ala DLEE. They are not!

This is one of those moments Z needs to figure out...
The real difference between him being very good, and one of the best is when he loses focus in times like this.

Unfortunately, other than
Blanco, Lou really is resistant to use situational hitting including squeeze attempts, and bunting 1st and 2nd runners over with less than two outs. I have not looked this up recently but their average with 2 outs and RISP has to be dismal.
Alright guys, lets get those runs back! Z deserves this win!
