Good to see they are looking to build for the future. I know that Epstein can't turn it around the first year he's in there, but the guy has already made some good moves. Dumping Zambrano was my favorite so far!!!

What about Hendry? I thought that was a great move as well. The Cubs are moving in the right direction.

Very good move, but I think almost every Cubs fan hated Zambrano since he was such a hot head

Big Z was not a very good team player. However, I think he was a little bitter for not doing well in the previous playoff years. No excuse though. He is a very good starter though. It wouldn't shock me to see him put up big time numbers this year. That or Ozzie will kill 'em before opening day

I think people just hated his attitude.. He seemed bitter towards the Cubs, you could really tell he wanted to win bad, but the team never came together. Z was stupid for a lot of things though. His pitching was always very good

Why did they bring in Camp, Sean, did Garza walk a couple in the 9th?

Not sure why. Here's the play by play...
Guess they wanted to play a match up on Kottaras. Either way, a "W" for the good guys.

Top 9th: Milwaukee - N. Morgan grounded out to shortstop - R. Braun struck out swinging - N. Aoki safe at first on pitcher M. Garza's throwing error, N. Aoki to second - G. Kottaras hit for T. Dillard - S. Camp relieved M. Garza - G. Kottaras grounded out to shortstop

Whatever team I root for loses, and usually in a big way. Whatever team I least want to win will usually make it to the middle of the playoffs, often going all the way to the Series.

So, what's it worth to you guys to have me go full-on Cub hater this year? I usually root for the Cubbies but if I root against them then maybe, just maybe .....

Back in '04 I turned against the Red Sox (briefly) and look what happened.

I'm not even a Cubs fan and it brings a tear to my eye.

Bad news for sure, Sox need to survive till the break, and hopefully Kenny can pick up some help. Hell we need a starter, maybe Dempster wants to come to the Dark Side
