Lets be realistic here, shall we?

 

For the White Sox to steal a win today, the following events must occur:

 

1. Carlos Zambrano (2.25 ERA; arguably the best starter of the Cubs thus far) must collapse. In 14 starts this season "Z" has only pitched one outing where he's given up 6+ runs. ONE!

 

2. Felix Diaz (11.42 ERA) must pitch superbly: 3 or less runs through 6 innings would be ideal.

 

I'm sorry to sound pessimistic. It just appears very unlikely both of these scenarios will occur simultaneously.

On June 28, 2003 Zambrano gave up 4 runs in 6 innings for a no decision in a game the Sox won 7-6.

 

Let them play the game before you give him the win.

Alright, so one half of the equation is solved. Our hitters have the capability of hitting Zambrano

 

Now what about Diaz? He needs to keep us in this game.
