It must be May. The Big Z is back. Carlos Zambrano threw seven good innings. He improved his own confidence and installed confidence in the team. Wil Ohman pitched a solid eighth and rookie Rocky Cherry threw a strong ninth to nail down the team’s tenth win of the year and bring their record even with last year’s World Series winner.
Today, maybe we can sweep and move ahead of the redbirds in the standings.
Forget about the long-standing rivalry. This weekend was a weekend where the team needed to decide if they were going to recover from a poor start or continue to drift along as a sub-.500 team. Even though they are still three games below the water line, they have a three game streak going. Rich Hill is on the mound tonight. I fully expect the streak to continue.
Manager Lou Piniella continues to impress me each day. He understands the game and knows how to motivate. He recognizes talent and is not afraid to make tough decisions. He is not even afraid to accept responsibility for making bad decisions.
This is going to be a fun year for Chicago. Can’t wait for the action tonight!
