Pinella is not going to start Zambrano tomorrow. Z is going to get 1 or 2 innings to keep him sharp. That's all.

I really really wanted to win this game and take 3 out of 4 from the Mets. I still remember what I felt when Victor Diaz hit that HR in 2004 and it would have been sweet to answer that with Micah Hoffpauir. Oh well, sorry Brewers. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

The reason for the 16/14 split is so there's an even number of teams per league. Otherwise a team would need to have an off day everyday.

Tony Pena Jr?Ozzie Smith?

Braun also got turned around pretty bad on a 7th inning double by Ramirez.

Series of the year for both the Cubs and the Brewers. Go Cubs!

If that was true, Ramirez wouldn't have done his bat flip thing. He knew it was gone.

Cubs win! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Sure they did. Remember Edmonds made a basket catch that inning.

He won't be overpriced. Cubs will be paying him the prorated minimum.

Anyone see that Reed Johnson catch? Wow ..... wow.

What's really interesting is this article: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3351418 Specifically, this part: The Astros' media guide lists Tejada's birthday as May 25, 1976. However, in addition to the birth certificate produced by ESPN, the Chronicle reported that Tejada's green card, driver's license and other legal papers in the United States list his actual birthday as May 25, 1974. How could the Astros not know about his actual birthday if it's on his legal documents? I suppose his W2 also lists his real birthday of 1974, so how could this have been hidden until now? BTW, Tejada was untucking his shirt to take his mic off.

I kinda think Tejada got ambushed here. Of course he looked bad in the interview. He had absolutely no time to brace himself and think about how to handle this situation. To me, ESPN looks like the bad guy here. What they should have done is to notify Tejada off camera that they obtained his birth certificate and was going to release it. Then, ask Tejada to do an interview about it. There was absolutely no reason to take him by surprise on camera with it (other than sensationalism).
