Armais hits it all the way to the fence and off it. Nomar and Walker score. Aramis to 2nd. 6-0 Cubs on 9 hits. I'm loving it! Great job so far.

Burnitz K'd for out 2. Lee up now.

Lee doubles all the way to far left field corner. Aramis scores, Vasquez is DONE! 7 Runs 10 hits! Great f'n start.

Sooooo great to hear Ron and Pat again after all these months.

Hollandsworth up now and the new pitcher in Bruney. Hollandsworth grounds out but it's still 7-0 Cubs!

[awefullspellare]

First up bottom 2 is Troy Glaus. Glaus K's for K #2 for Z.

[awefullspellare]

Shawn Green up now. Z makes a really wild pitch (2nd today). Green K's for Z's 3rd straight K.

[awefullspellare]

Juan Cruz up for Arizona. Cruz hits a HR to left. Well hit by Cruz.

[awefullspellare]

Chad Tracy is up now and lines in to center. Z is struggling a little bit to close out this inning.

[rockin500]

its his first start. he needs to get a bit more control.

[awefullspellare]

Koy Hill is up next. He K's. 4 K's for Z now. After batting around in the 2nd Barret, Z and Patterson are due up again.

[rockin500]

still 7-1. i'll take it. sounds like the umpire is squeezing him a bit.

cant get the game on TV for some reason as the cable box is effed up.

[rockin500]

zambrano is a good hitter, so i'm not surprised by the double.

[awefullspellare]

Barrett grounds out on a hard hit ball to SS. I'm watching this game and the Rockies game so it's a little confusing. Z up now.

[awefullspellare]

Z is K'd. Not real surprising to me had to balance out the double.
