WOW!

Zambrano got off to a shakey start in the 1st inning giving up 3 runs. After that it was all Cubs as Zambrano went 8 1/3 innings and won 5-3. Zambrano helped his own effort by smacking a 2 run HR and Alou contributed to the rest with a 3 RBI game.

This is what you call a blood and guts pitching effort. Most young pitchers would of packed it in after the 1st inning, thinking they had no shot to win and they werent good enough. Instead Zambrano shut them down the rest of the way till an opening came so that they could win.
A start like this can make or break a young pitchers career and it looks like Zambrano passed with flying colors. Just 2 more wins and we are back in this race.........Estes you better not screw it up!!!!!
