If he's hurt, and if Harden's hurt too - the Cubs better hope that they're facing the Mets in the first round. If they have to play Arizona again, it's going to be Lilly, Dempster, and Marquis against Webb, Haren, and Randy Johnson. Good luck with that.

I knew there was a reason why Radiohead's song "house of cards" was in my head this morning. The Cubs are starting to look like exactly that ... Marshall in the rotation doesn't strike as much fear in opponents like Z does.

I think all those Gatorade cooler assaults are coming back to haunt his ass.

This is the first time in Z's career that he's had an significant arm trouble so I'd say that he's normally been able to endure a full season in the past. Every starter goes through some problems in a season, you're moving your arm in a violent, unnatural motion thousands of times over a 6 month period, eventually that's going to catch up with you.

Fatigued arm? Dehydration / Cramps? This tub needs to get in better shape to physically endure a 162 game season.
