Carlos Zambrano.
Complete game, shutout victory.
Houston’s offense looked bad.
That is all. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Seriously, it was great to see Zambrano pitch lights out AGAIN. Damn! The Cubs’ pitching staff has posted an ERA of around 2.50 over the past month. That has to rank among the tops in baseball. Just imagine how good they would be with a halfway decent offense. It was nice to see Lofton produce three hits tonight and to watch Alex Gonzalez come out of his 3-1,000.000th slump with a 2-run HR. Whew! The Cubs really needed this game. Now let’s take the next two.
Who would I like to get in FA? I don’t know all the players that will be free agents after this season, but I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing Vlad, Colon, Vazquez, or even the aging Maddux play for the North Siders next year. But, most of all, I want to see a vast improvement in offense from our guys up the middle and on the bench. We need some hitters, dammit! Screw Raffy!
