Game Four: Cubs (2-1) vs. Cardinals (3-1)
Game Time – 1:20pm C.T. on Comcast SportsNet, WGN Radio, XM Radio Channel 186
Carlos Zambrano (0-0, 9.64) vs. Chris Carpenter (1-0, 7.20)
The Cubs started off the home schedule with an impressive win on Friday….can they do it again on Saturday? Zambrano is coming off a bad start on Opening Day….only pitching 4 2/3 innings and Chris Carpenter did not fair much better….going only 5 innings. Carpenter has been a Cub killer in recent history; last season Carpenter was 2-0 with a 2.03 ERA in four starts.
Carlos Zambrano was 3-0 with a 1.10 ERA last year against the Cardinals.
If this game if half has good as advertised….it could be an instant classic. John Cusack will be the guest conductor of the 7th Inning Stretch on Saturday.
