Carlos Zambrano leaves game with forearm cramps

[cymbaline]

Finger injury on the pickoff play which nailed Billy Hall. No warmup tosses. Cubs pulled him immediately wanting to take no chances.

Couple plays earlier, there was a popup where Zombie caught the ball and took what appeared to be a innocuous spill. Don't know if this was how he got injured



Edit --> updated title to correct injury since initial reports were conflicting. Some said finger injury, others said forearm cramps. It is the latter.

Relax on Zambrano. We don't know what the extent or type of injury was. He had pitched about 7 innings anyway. Lets see what it was first eh?

You play in a March-only league?

Day-to-day with forearm cramps.

Yahoo news has him with a "finger injury," but everything else I've heard is cramps.

Cramps + D2D would be good news.

Announcers thought it was his index finger initially. I stopped watching the game after Big Z left so I don't have any in-game updates on him.

Damn it! My #1 pitcher and my girlfriend are both D2D with cramps!
