Cubs; CSN Chicago; 2:20 PM ET; vs. Astros; Jason Jennings, 1-4, 4.07 ERA vs. Carlos Zambrano, 10-7, 4.03 ERA
This is my first and probably only doubple-post for a while, but I thought I should just to spare myself of postiong four times in the past two days. Since the first thing you saw coming here was the pitching match ups, so I'll do story one first. If you hadn't noticed already, Zambrano is starting two games in a row.
Last Sunday, on Big-Z and the Cubs' last game before the break, Zambrano had an OK start. 7 innings, 3 runs, 3 walks, 4 hits, 5 strikeouts. He had the loss though, something I didn't expect to see going to PNC Park, home of the Pirates, to watch him. The good news? His momentum wasn't ruined by the break, it was ruined by the Bucs, so the break was good for him after all. Now he can start over now as a new pitcher.
Story number two. Mark Cuban is more than just interested in buying the Cubs. He already turned in his application. With the bidding expected to go to 1 billion, I would consider him a hero to buy the Cubs. That said, he tries to buy evey team that is up for sale; the Mavericks, the Penguins, and now the Cubs.
My only fear is what if he moves us. I remember him on the hot seat on SportsCenter earlier this year and him saying he wants a team in Las Vegas. Las Vegas. Meaning that if he gets control over the field of the Cubs, he might move us, and not take Wrigley Field with him. I hae mixed feelings about this so far, and maybe it'll change, after all, no saying he'll even win the bidding.
Thanks,
Ryan
