Is Lou Expecting Too Much From Zambrano?

How representative of Big Z's ability was that two-hitter in San Francisco? Weak line-up, cool and damp weather (shocker) and aggressive swings, sure. All things considered, maybe Lou is right. More at the link.

How about just pitching well and not acting like a lunatic?

There is no such thing as an ugly female breast

I think the composure is part of Lou's point

It’s like the playoff game in 2008 where only Z showed up, and the meltdown around him didn’t phase him one bit. Last night, and a blown DP ball, he just moved on without a blink. That kind of focus would be nice to see more often.

Sure would

Hopefully, we get it. I’m not holding my breath

I don't think Lou expects a two-hitter every time out.

Just a pitcher who can get the most out of his undeniably nasty stuff. We will never know what Z might have done for the past seven seasons had he actually been in shape. His stuff is so good that he gives Cub fans enough each season not to totally turn on him. But he’s running out of time to overcome his girth and weak mental state to be anywhere near as good a pitcher as he could be.
