WP - Tom Gorzelanny (7-2) LP - Barry Zito (10-13) Save - None
As the old cliché goes ... too little too late. Lou Piniella's crew waited too long to play the way most expected they would throughout the season. The Cubs have won six of their last seven games, all on the road and Saturday's win guaranteed them a winning road trip. The Cubs are 6-3 since last Friday in St. Louis with all three losses being one-run defeats.
Tom Gorzelanny put together another solid start. Gorzelanny gave up just one run on five hits with three walks and five strikeouts in five innings. The one run allowed by the southpaw was a gift courtesy of miscommunication by the Cubs defense. So Taguchi and Ryan Theriot let a fly ball of the bat of Juan Uribe in the third to fall in for the Giants' lone run until the eighth inning.
Esmailin Caridad was excellent once again out of the Cubs' pen. Caridad gave up one hit and struck out three in t...

Tim Lincecum vs. Carlos Zambrano. Hopefully both will be at the top of their game. With Derrek Lee's neck spasms and Aramis Ramirez's balky shoulder, Lincecum will face a weak Cubs line-up. That hasn't necessarily worked in The Freak's favor in the past.Lincecum throws a few pitches. Four- and two-seam fastballs, change-ups, curveballs and even a few sliders. To facilitate a thumbnail...
