Cruisin’ for a bruisin’

Thanks to this plunking in the eighth inning Monday night, Aramis Ramirez had retaken the team lead he had shared with Mark DeRosa and Reed Johnson. Can’t tell whether he’s trying to remain cool or deciding the 10-game suspension will be worth it when he gets a hold of the next pitcher that nails him.

Z’s Ks = Big Q

Great effort from Carlos Zambrano against the Mets Monday night for the national ESPN audience: 101 pitches, 61 for strikes, 1 earned run on 5 hits and 2 walks with 4 strikeouts.

It’s the bullpen’s turn.

Radio broadcast may be best the next two days

Cub fans know how much Ron Santo hates the New York Mets. With that in mind, it may be more entertaining to turn down the volume on your TV sets the next two games and listen to Pat Hughes and Santo call the game on radio.

I love listening to Santo. He may not give you the best insights to a game, but he’s fun to listen to. He and Hughes make a good team.
