Cubs Masochist

There are very few times Mike Fontenot will make a bad baseball decision. He might not have the talent to execute what he wants to do, but he isn’t going to make many bonehead errors on the field, at the plate or on the bases. Of course, he picked Monday night to make an error on the field in the first (allowing a three-run inning) and an error on the bases in the ninth (costing a run and an out with the bases loaded) and the Cubs go away losers. The kid’s lovable, but come on, you have to score on that play if you’re going to go. He knows that.

Did Ryan Dempster walk in a run? Yep, but it was the only walk in six innings against seven Ks, and none of the five runs were earned. They finally get a good start and they lose; Dempster has a really strong start and loses when he normally pitches borderline poorly and wins. How’s that for a Cubbie Occurrence?

Carlos Zambrano needs to win tomorrow. End of story.
