Cubs-Cards Reloaded

Today has got to better for the North Side Nine, right?

Carlos Zambrano is on the mound and I have to think after watching yesterday's bullpen performance, Big Z is not going to want to exit early today.

Nor do I want him to.

Zambrano is the Cubs big-name, big-money pitcher and I want him to pitch like that against the team's chief rival ... especially after a brutal loss.

While I'll put yesterday's loss on the relief (or lack thereof), maybe hitting coach Gerald Perry should tell Cubs hitters to aim toward left field.

Watching Chris Duncan patrol the outfield is like watching that kid in Little League who has his finger up his nose, hat on backward, counting clouds in the sky and one pant leg rolled up before a screaming liner comes his way.
