Cubs Win, But At A Big Price

The Cubs ended up winning 5-2, but they lost star pitcher Carlos Zambrano, who was ejected while arguing a call at home plate. I think if Zambrano does not stick his elbow out, he would have been all right, but he stuck out his elbow, and he's tossed.He then throws a baseball into the stands, (Safety Issue) so Zambrano may have just added to any fine he will recieve.

How long will Zambrano be out? I will say three starts. I'm not going to speculate on the fine.

The Cubs called up the hottest bat in the Pacific Coast League, Jake Fox. He will primarily be used as a bat off the bench. Fox was leading all Minor Leaguers with a .423 batting average, 17 homers and 50 RBIs in 40 games.

The Cubs move on to play the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are reeling without Manny Ramirez.
