The Cubs lost today to the Cardinals 12-3. Might as well have been 75-3.
I like good hitting pitchers, I really do. It makes me feel like they are full athletes playing 100% game (not like those wimpy AL pitchers). I like knowing when a pitcher is coming up to bat, he isn’t an "automatic".
Having said that, let me roll this stat off you. In the three games that Carlos Zambrano has hit home runs this season, the Cubs are 0-3.
Coincidence?
Interestingly, all three losses have come against NL Central teams.
Go Cubs!
