Dunn owns Zambrano.
He usually makes Zambrano work and Zambrano made a mistake and Dunn made him pay for it.Originally Posted by Homer Bailey

George Grande silently weeps. His boy strikes out.
Soto doubles, Edmonds K's on three pitches.
Routine groundball to Keppinger and he boots it allowing a run to score from second base. Unearned run.
Tie game on a Keppinger error. Seemed like the ball took a bad hop.
Watching Cueto, he is one fabulous young pitcher.
To be fair, the ball hit a foot print in the mud and hopped up on him. He didn't just boot it.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
The Reds need to find them a major league caliber defensive shortstop. Keppinger and Hairston just ain't getting the job done defensively.
Johnson flies out and Zambrano ground out.
According to McCoy, Ryan Dempster said there was a whole bunch of discussion in the Cubs dugout last night about how Harang wasn't the normal Harang and that something seemed wrong.

Yeah, Keppinger has now made two errors this season, and that one was a bad hop. Just pathetic.
Ah yes, errors. What a great way to judge a players defense. When you lack range you're probably not going to make errors.
Bruce pops out on a 3-1 pitch. Easy 1-2-3 inning for Zambrano.
Cueto is the most enjoyable starter to watch right now -- stuff + command.
