4-0
chacin
2-1

tonight should be a great night for silva. after the walkoff i think the cubs will get on a roll. these types of wins seem to do things to the cubbies. in past history they seem to get on a roll and i look for the cubs to pull of 3-4 more wins in a row

I hope you are right about them getting on the roll. Extra inning win might be what they needed. Hope Silva keeps pitching well and Aramis gets on track.

i really think it happens just have a feeling they gotta play bad to keep their hockey team getting enough publicity so now that they are that much closer its times for the cubs to have the spot light...its all a conspiracy...back in 08' this happened and they rally back to become 1st place in the division

1st and 3rd nobody out. Derrek and Aramis come up and we get nothing...dang it can be hard to be a Cubs fan! Need to big boys to get going!

Aramis may get a ball in the ear for admiring his homer last night. Teams don't like to be shown up, especially teams who give up a homer to a player not even batting his own weight.

I like your thinking....

Carnac you're not, and when you hit a walk off - something Ramirez is familiar with - you can pimp it a little.

Another good win. Big Z going to be stretched out and get back to the rotation. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Nice to get back to back to back W's. Can they steal a win in Philly before heading to Texas for interleague play?

from Z

"[Piniella and I] had a long conversation with the pitching coach," Zambrano said. "They're trying to put me back in the rotation.

"Whatever they want me to do, I'll do it. If they want to send me to the minor leagues to work, I'll work in the minor leagues. If they want me to work here, I'll work here. The thing is, I haven't thrown in a game for more than 65 pitches as a starting pitcher since three weeks ago. Obviously, I'm not a machine and I need to build my arm again."


i don't think Z will be ready to start again he hasn't seen a lot of time since being in the bull pen. i guess they are going to put him in a simulated game on monday to test him out but i think they should send him over to des moines and have him pitch a few games THEN bring him back in the rotation. with doing this you get his head right and his arm right!
