PrintChicago Cubs at Detroit Tigers, Jun 23, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Carlos Zambrano (4-2, 3.44) vs. 
Edwin Jackson (6-4, 2.39), 7:05 p.m. EST
Following a weekend sweep of the Brewers, the Tigers try to keep their four-game winning streak going against another NL Central team. The Cubbies are in town! (And they limp into Detroit with a 13-19 road record.)
Carlos Zambrano is winless in his past two outings, despite allowing four runs and nine hits in 15 innings. (He's gotten the win in only one of his five starts since returning from the DL. Yet the Cubs won four of those games, which tells you how a starting pitcher's number of wins doesn't always reflect how well he's playing.) In six appearances on the road this season, Zambrano has a 3-1 record and 2.58 ERA.
Though his last start wasn't his best effort of the season, Edwin Jackson was largely victimized by the Tigers' then-slumping offense. In six innings, he gave up three runs and seven hits to the Cardinals, while tying a season-high with seven strikeouts. At Comerica Park, Jackson has a 3-1 record and 3.00 ERA in six starts. Detroit's lineup hasn't scored more than three runs for Jackson in five straight starts. How about giving the guy at least four tonight?
Magglio Ordonez "indefinite" hiatus ends tonight, as he's back in the starting lineup. However, he's batting seventh, behind Brandon Inge and in front of Gerald Laird. (In seven career plate appearances against Zambrano, Ordonez has a .200/.429/.400 average with one double and two walks.) Ramon Santiago gets the start at shortstop, batting ninth.
Bleed Cubbie Blue has your SB Nation opposing view for this three-game series. (Did Sammy Sosa really taper his jersey sleeves to make his arms look bigger?)

I like this lineup!! I know a lot of people might kill me for saying this but I really think Anderson brings another dimension to the lineup. I would rather see him in RF instead of Maggs.
what the fuck is wrong with polanco
missing two games for getting his on the ass with an 86 mph lollipop?
oh nevermind
it was adam everett out of the line-up that struck me as unusual, given how bad santiago struggled at the plate, but i guess you could toss that up to a small sample size, but still. dude looked uncomfortable up there.

Not too much. I’m pumped about this series. Some great pitching match ups… sans Galarraga
by Detroit4lyfe on Jun 23, 2009 6:58 PM EDT up reply actions
Over/Under for runs scored tonight??
Since Edwin is pitching (we seem to never score when he is pitching) I say a fair number is 3 runs. So over? or under? I say under but I am hoping I am wrong.
lmao
The guys over at the cubbie blog….thought it was Sparky Anderson that used the Bless You Boys phrase. Somebody corrected em though. There all pissed off about the report of Sammy Sosa supposedly having the arms in his jersey tapered. 2funny.
Jackson is off the mark early...
fell behind 2-0 on Soriano before giving up a 2-1 single. 2-1 on Theriot now after almost hitting him in the face on the first pitch.

do u guys remember when the dodgers bombed zambrano last year during the playoffs?
i just remember every at bat after the cubs made an error or carlos would give up a hit, the FOX broadcast team would put the camera on zambrano to see if he’d explode…i was genuinely shocked he didn’t blow up though during that game…
2 hits to start for each team, and only one run each way
watch this now turn into a pitcher’s duel….
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
I have a luggies uniform clad zambrano bobble head from my last trip to lansing baseball. I’m thinking about employing the practice of voodoo if this game goes south.
yeah, i'm not really sure why they decided to hand those out
but they did. but i’ll use it in our favor.

The only thing is
They are the “hip” team to like in Chicago. So tons of fans at the game or elsewhere who just go for a suntan and a beer.
I see Maggs hasn't changed after 5 days
well that’s not entirely true. The grounder went to third, that’s different.
can I answer a different question?
i’d start CLETE over Maggs.
But to answer you: Anderson provides nice defense and I suppose doesn’t hit any worse than Maggs so he wins out
by Kurt Mensching on Jun 23, 2009 7:41 PM EDT up reply actions
If you don't mind me rudely interjecting
I completely agree. The thing I love most about Anderson is his speed. He’s a 40 SB guy if he plays everyday, IMO.
by Detroit4lyfe on Jun 23, 2009 7:44 PM EDT up reply actions
He's a punch and judy hitter though --
When Clete is swinging right he’s great. Heck Sheffield said he’d go to war with him or whatever. But the bat went limp.
Ramon
Always reminds me of the departed Mariners’ GM Bill Bavasi. Bavasi could give Randy Smith a run for his money.
Was the "No Squandering" shirt in use there?
by Ian Casselberry on Jun 23, 2009 7:52 PM EDT reply actions
Yes.
I guess it makes sense that “Throw Strikes” is working better tonight. I’ve a feeling “No Squandering” doesn’t have the same juju with this team.
Of course, now I'm afraid to wash "Throw Strikes"
I think I can wash the snot out of “No Squandering” and it won’t make a difference.
Don't have the details yet
I saw the mention on Need4Sheed’s Twitter. Kurt, did you do the same?

Fabricio Oberto … far as I remember he’s a flopper like half those argentines. That trade annoys me already

A busy predraft day just got busier for the Milwaukee Bucks. A source tells Sporting News that the Bucks, after trading Richard Jefferson for a trio of Spurs—Fabricio Oberto, Bruce Bowen and Kurt Thomas—have traded Oberto to Detroit for young power forward Amir Johnson. A Bucks source has confirmed the deal.

Ok now it makes sense
well how Oberto got to Detroit, not the actual trade
