Time for Big Z
October 2nd, 2008 at 04:32pm Matt Trowbridge
Ryan Dempster was Exhibit A of why you don’t get too caught up in a pitcher having a good month or two. Remember all this talk about who is the Cubs’ real ace? No, it’s not Ryan Dempster. It’s not even Rich Harden. It’s Carlos Zambrano. He has struggled mightily, with the exception of his no-hitter, the last month or so, but I’m comfident Big Z will come up big in Game 2. (I’m less confident about Chicago’s bats. The Cubs need Alfonso Soriano to get in the swing of things).

Sorry, Matt. Dempster had more than a good month or two he had a good YEAR. He was the most consistent Cubs pitcher from beginning to end and he was lights out at Wrigley. He never had an AWFUL month, like the ones Zambrano had in August and September.
Still, I agree that he’ll be good tonight and I share your concern about the bats.
