Yea, it took 14 games before I missed a deadline. I haven’t been doing so well the last few days, but I think I’m getting it back together by this weekend. I hope so, anyway.

Lots of questions about Z’s contract after this start – is it affecting him? should it still get done? would the Cubs now be better of waiting? – but I mostly think the answer is “it’s too soon to tell, he always has bad Aprils.”

(Actually, the answers may be No, Yes, No, but never mind.)

As bad as Z’s start was, this game was lost on Eyre, and to a greater extent, by having this game follow a 14 inning game where the bullpen was all used. It was pretty obvious the day before that Eyre was only used for .1 because that’s all he had, and it doesn’t seem like he had much left for today.
