It was close but the Cubs beat the Reds today. It was the first time this season that the Cubs have won a game that Carlos Zambrano has hit a homer. That’s a good trend to buck. When a friend from work came into my office and informed me the Cubs were up 3-0 and Big Z hit one out, I got a little nervous.
But all ended well and the Cubs ended winning the game and the series. They are now 5 1/2 up on the Brew Crew.
Ask Lou
In other news, there’s an article on MLB.com about how the Cubs feel about the instant replay issue. The interesting thing is that didn’t ask Lou Piniella. Maybe they know how he feels about the issue.
