Zambrano hits and pitches the Cubs past the Padres 7-6
Carlos Zambrano was doing a little bit of everything on Monday night as the Chicago Cubs defeated teh San Diego Padres by the score of 7-6. Big Z only threw five innings to get his eighth win of the season but he also had three hits including a triple and one rbi. It was the Cubs eighth straigh win as well.
Things did get a little shaky for the Cubs bullpen in the ninth inning when Carlos Marmol was pitching in the ninth inning. Marmol gave up a three run home run to Adrian Gonzalez that brought the Padres within one run. Lou Piniella then brought in Kerry Wood who got ex-cub Michael Barrett to fly out to deep left field to end the game. Wood ended up getting the save which was his 15th of the season.
Jim Edmonds went back to San Diego and had a pretty good night at the plate for the Cubs. He doubled twice and had two rbi against his former team that released him earlier this season. I could see the Padres fans all thinking “Why didn’t he hit like that when he was here?” lol.
Ryan Theriot also went 3-5 with a rbi while Aramis Ramirez 2-5. Alfonso Soriano and Kosuke Fukudome had one rbi each as well for the Cubs.
The Cubs will go for their ninth straight win on Tuesday night when they play the second game of their West coast road trip. If the Cubs can do well on this West coast swing, I think they are going to have a great month of June and really improve on their record.
What do you think Cubs fans? Are the Cubbies going to have a great month of June and go up six or seven games in the division?
just keep playing that song, GO CUBS GO!!!
hey chicago what do you say, the cubs are going to win today!!!!
‘LETS GO CUBBIES!!!!!
I am waiting for Sweet Lou to trot Michael Wuertz out to the mound watch him give up either two walks or a walk and a home run then come storming out of the dugout swearing, take the ball from Wuertzless and just punch him in the face.
Wow this is a very unprofessional blog. Who uses “lol” and has multiple spelling errors in a blog post that I am guessing hundreds of people read, terrible.
I hope so this is the year we go all the way. By the way does anyone know what jersey number dontrell willis had when he played for arizonia cubs or in the 2002 chicago cubs spring training game?
