April is a wash

Zambrano really didnt
pitch that bad when you look at what he did. He had his normal first inning
jitters but for the most part he kept the Cubs in the game. He pitched 6
innings gave up 8 hits, walked 5 and struck out 6. The only thing is he
gave up 5 runs. Four of the runs came in the first inning.
In the seventh inning
the Cubs were able to get 6 to 5 lead over the Braves but Scott Eyre
struggled to hold the lead and gave up three runs. At this point it really
isnt that bad. The Cubs still have a chance to re-gain the lead. The score
is only 8 to 6 but the rallying Cubs could not muster any offense.
The Cubs are on a train that seems to have a lot of power,
skill and talent. The only thing that is problem now is waiting for it to
kick in at the right moments. The pitching is off to a rough start but has
made a lot of improvements. The hitting is there but the runs are not
coming in like they should be. There is a whole lot of potential and you
can see it. I think it may be time to play the waiting game and see if this
ball club can turn it around
