Uh Oh

They're showing their "Oh" face, but it's really more of an "Uh-oh" face.


Just when Cubs fans were worried about Harden, Carlos Zambrano goes and gets himself hurt. The Cubs still won't lose the division, but this is bad news for the playoffs. Harden has to skip a start for "precautionary reasons" and now Zambrano has "arm problems". Neither of those give me too much faith that everything is going to be okay in Cubbie land. If the Cubs have those two by October, then no big deal and the Cubs roll, but if they don't, they can kiss the World Series good-bye, in much the same way they have the past 100 years.

Zambrano had been under watch after his previous game in which people saw his arm angle dip a bit. He's had this issue in the past to where he just needed to pitch through it, but if he has real arm problems this time, it might be something more than just a dead arm period. Paging Dr. Andrews.
