3 days rest: is this ever a good idea?
Carlos Zambrano was ineffective working on three days' rest Tuesday, giving up four runs and seven hits over 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Reds. Zambrano walked three and struck out just one while falling to 1-4 against Cincinnati this season. As tough of an opponent as the Reds have been for him, this was more of a case of Zambrano just not being any good tonight. Manager Lou Piniella might have made a crucial mistake choosing to bring both Big Z and Ted Lilly back on three days' rest this week.

When the Cubs get close, the Cubs get desperate. They don't just let things happen, they try to be clever. The Sox didn't do all that in '05. They just played the game & kicked ass doing it. So just play your guys Lou. If it's meant to be, it will happen. Stop trying to force it to happen. We don't want Z next to Wootz & Prior...
On da udder hand, didn't pitchers go more often than that the last time the Cubs won a world series?
Yes back when that Rough Rider speaking softly and carrying a big stick was president.
