I'd like to correct you here. Zambrano wasn't even close to finished. He had only thrown 85 pitches. His manager got ahead of himself here and took him out so that he could save him for game four on Sunday. That's right, game four. A game that may not even be played. This decision was beyond stupid to me. I could see if the Cubs had a lead but they didn't. I used to want to have faith that some of the old timers would have a little more respect for the game and not give in to the weenie tendencies of today's game. So much for that. Pinella played 2007 baseball, the version where pitchers are treated like lil girls with skirts on, and he lost.

I thought you played playoff baseball all out to win each game? I can understand pulling him if it was the stretch drive of the reg season, but not in Game 1. Even worse is it's only a 5 game series. Maybe, maybe you pull him in a 7 game series to try and get him back 3 times, but what if there is no Game 4?
Now...he was truly dealing last night so I wasn't crying when he got yanked, but that will be second guessed a lot

He lost because his first five batters in the lineup went 1 for 20 with 1 BB. If the Cubs dont hit, it wont matter who is pitching.

They are garbage. I don't even want to go on Saturday now. Lets throw 2-2 fastballs at the letters to a guy that has 32 HR's and then after we didn't learn that lesson, lets throw a hanger to a guy that can't hit a fastball over 88. Garbage, absolute garbage
