Cubs Back on track????
Well the Cubs jumped all over the Diamondbacks last night. The Cubbies won the game 11-3 to give them a record of 10-9. This game was huge as it was going to show just how bad a funk the Cubs really are in. With Big Z on the mound I felt that the Cubs would be better than they have been. Big Z always seems to fire up the team. He not only fired the pitching staff up but he kick started the offense by himself. Zambrano went 3 for 4 with a homer and a double that was about 3 inches from being another home run. O yeah and he had two RBIs. All this while pitching well through 7 innings and giving up 3 earned runs. Angel Guzman came in to finish out the game and he did very well. It was nice to see a younger guy get some quality innings in there while giving the rest of the guys a break. He pitched two scoreless inning and fanned two D-backs. Koyie Hill was another big story as he went 3 for 5 with an RBI. Soto took another day off to try and get back into form so it was up to Hill to control Big Z. He exceeded my expectations in offensive production so I take my hat off to him. If this could only spark the Cubs to go on a run here I would feel a lot better about this year. Soriano and Fontenot continued their hot streak by belting a home run each. Keep it up CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
