Cubs Vs Cardinals 7/24/07 Game Thread (Game 98 of 162)
Tuesday, June 24--Purchase Tickets at Busch Stadium | 7:10 PM CT
CHC Carlos Zambrano, RHP{12-7, 3.69}@STL Kip Wells, RHP{4-12, 5.75}
Scouting Report:
Cubs:Zambrano became the National League's first 12-game winner with a victory over the Giants in his last start. The Cubs took advantage of a 9-0 lead to give Zambrano a breather, pulling him after 80 pitches and five innings. He gave up two hits in the shortened start and struck out three. Since June 6, when he declared he was starting his season over, Zambrano is 7-2 with a 1.43 ERA and has given up 10 earned runs over 63 innings, while striking out 66.
Cardinals:Good news has been more common than bad news for Wells lately, even if it hasn't been all sunshine and light. Wells is clearly headed in the right direction, as his eight excellent innings against the Marlins showed. He'll get the ball to start a critical homestand, as the Cards have a week of games against the two teams they're chasing in the standings. The Cards have not ruled out Mike Maroth for this start, but Wells is the more likely candidate.

hopefully kip wells' 4-12 record and 5.75 era will be just what our slumbering offense needs.
we score 9 runs on thursday against the giants and then go on to score 8 runs for the entire series against the dbacks
glad to finally have fontenot out of the three hole with dlee back
happy to see harang (10-2/3.63) going for the reds against the sewers
go cubs and reds
