Cubs Fall

Carlos Zambrano pitched six brilliant innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks, giving up only one run and four hits. He struck out eight and gave up one base on balls. Then, with the game tied 1-1, Lou Pinella pulled Zambrano and the bullpen fell down the elevator shaft. Arizona scored two runs in the seventh inning, and that's all they needed.

Zambrano is a big strong man. He could have easily pitched one more inning. He could have pitched all nine, rested till Sunday, and pitched again in Game 4. I don't get it. Will there even be a Game 4? This is not a time to be coy.
