Despite dropping the last two games to the Houston Astros, the Chicago Cubs hold on to first place in the National League Central Division.
Carlos Zambrano hopes to get the Cubs back to their winning ways with a strong performance tomorrow against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Zambrano is coming off a bad outing against the Pirates on 5/17, lasting only 4 innings. An "ace" is supposed to extend winning streaks, and stop losing streaks. We will see if Zambrano is up to the task tomorrow. Carlos Zambrano has complained about a sore shoulder, but is still scheduled to make his start tomorrow against the Pirates.Purchase a Carlos Zambrano Jersey
The Cubs recently traded for Jim Edmonds. I really have mixed feelings about this addition. If he can hit .270 with some occasional power I think it will be a positive addition. Yet so far with the Padres, and now with the Cubs, Edmonds hasn't been able to hit a lick. Is the tank on empty? Lets hope not. I couldn't stand Jim Edmonds while he was a cardinal, and so far my feelings haven't changed. Hopefully he will force me to have a change of heart.
One of the bright spots has been the cubs Carlos Marmol, and Kerry Wood. If the Cubs can hold a lead through 7 innings, you have to like our chances. Kerry Wood is really attacking the hitters and throwing first pitch strikes. Let's hope Kerry's success continues and the Cubs can open up some daylight in the central division.
