Like the Brewers haven't seen Zambrano enough that one Spring Training start is going to give anything up. The Cubs are scared of us. Tis true. Last Edited By: support March 10, 2008 9:28 PM.

Remember, fan is short for fanatic. "It was the Cubs. You'll learn to hate them, it might take 5 or 10 minutes." - Steve "The Homer" True during interview with David Riske

If they were facing the Giants in the opening week, he'd do the same thing. Sure the Brewers have faced Zambrano a lot, but not in over 6 months. Piniella won't start Lilly vs. the Brewers either this spring. Rich Hill, who started yesterday, is not scheduled to pitch in the first series.

I guess the one team we do have an advantage against due to our right hand heavy lineup is the Cubs, given that 2 of their top 3 guys are lefties. If the Brewers can take that first game against Z, should be able to hopefully win the series.
