Inning recap...10 men sent to the plate, 6 runs, 4 hits, 3 walks.

Well, on the bright side for the Dodgers JOSE LIMA pitched well in a mop up role (5 2/3 IP, 7 Hits, 1 BB, 3 K).

CARLOS freaking ZAMBRANO continued to look dominant on the hill. He threw 8 innings, 2 hits, 1 run (unearned) and struck out 11 while walking 2. His ERA sits now at 1.82. This from the guy who is supposed to be the Cubs' number 4 or 5 starter. MARK PRIOR is looking to comeback around June 1st is the word. The NL Central race between Houston and Chicago should be pretty intense, hopefully it doesn't get ruined by the wild-card.

MILTON BRADLEY had a particularly awful day. He struck out swinging in his first three at-bats. On his third at-bat he struck out to end the inning and let the bat go on the plate. Then he took his helmet off and set it down and removed his batting gloves and put them inside of the helmet. After that little display he proceeded to walk the ENTIRE WAY out to centerfield. I would describe his pace as "sauntering". In his fourth at-bat he rolled over to first-base and actually sprinted hard down the line and ran through the bag. He then ran all the way back to the dugout. I don't know if somebody said something to him about his actions his previous time at-bat, or if he took it upon himself to hustle but maybe it's a sign that Milton Bradley is at least trying to change.
