Game 1: NLDS
Cubs vs. Diamondbacks
Wait 'til next year is here!

It's nice that Lou wanted to save Big Z for game 4 but what happens when/if the Cubbies get swept? If Sunday never happens, how much does Sweet Lou get bombarded with the "how can you pull Zambrano" questions? How does that affect the team for next year? Well, let us hope for Lou's sake that the Cubs take this series and his decision to pull Big Z becomes a non-factor.

There was some really nice hitting displays by Soriano, Jones, & Lee last night. Your stud pitcher leads off with a double and you leave him there. What was that? Three K's in a row. You guys are good. Big Z never saw the light of third base thanks to some terrible at bats but at least he cooled down with the breeze and pitched effectively for the next three innings.

Nice managing Lou. TheRiot gets on second with a base hit and error but Big Z doesn't bunt to move him over. I guess I could understand since the Cubs pitchers couldn't bunt if their lives depended on it.

On the other hand, Webb did pitch a great game and the young D'Backs are hungry and playing hard.

The Cubs better come back tonight looking for blood.

My advice for Game 2 to Lilly: When you get a run in the top of the inning try not to give up the gopher ball in the bottom of the inning. And for God's sake man, learn how to BUNT!
