Chicago Cubs(Carlos Zambrano)

Cincinnati Reds(Bronson Arroyo)

Scouting Report:
Cubs:
Zambrano had to come out of his last start against the Pirates because of cramping in his forearm and leg. It's not the first time this has happened, and the Cubs aren't sure what to do to stop it. He gave up three hits over six scoreless innings and struck out six, including the first four batters he faced. Big Z is expected to be matched up against Aaron Harang again. He hasn't beaten him in four starts so far.
Reds:
Arroyo pitched seven scoreless innings but was a 2-0 loser on Saturday vs. the Giants, as the Reds lineup went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight on base. The right-hander gave up five hits and struck out two and tied a career high with five walks and hit one batter. But he worked out of early danger in what was a strong outing. Cincinnati scored two runs or less in 14 of Arroyo

Well the Reds ended our season in 2004.
I am going to end it with that.

We've gotta win with Big Z. He's our ace, he needs to be on the mound down the stretch. He needs the W.

They do not have 2 Cub Killas, Dunn and Griffey right now. But they do have Arroyo. Sweep the series and end the season on a high note.

My oh my it'll be nice to be somewhere that isn't Florida. Dolphin Stadium is so bleak (at least for baseball).

Go Cubs!

Apparently that is supposed to be a Lego replica of Wrigley Field. Aside from the words 'Wrigley Field' etched in Sharpie on the legos, I don't see it. :dontknow: :lol:
