Gallardo Hurt
I haven't seen the replay, but when I turned on the Cubs game, Gallardo was taking some test throws. He somehow hurt his right leg (he had surgery on the left), and from the way the announcers described it, it sounded bad. He's limping, but he stayed in the game and retired the next two batters to get through five innings. He trails Zambrano and the Cubs 1-0. Zambrano is the whole game for the Cubs as the run came on his solo home run. That's the first of the season for Carlos and the thirteenth of his career.

Go ryan braun! Too bad fielder is so darn slow.
Big Z at 105 pitches in the 6th; lets hope the cubs go to the bullpen early and the game goes to 15 innings.
Gallardo's scary-looking (non-)injury:
Reed Johnson bunted to the 1B side. Gallardo ran over, but had to leap over a sliding Johnson as Fielder decided to tag Johnson out himself. Gallardo landed with his right leg straight, and let's just say his knee looked double-jointed as it bent the wrong way. He was writing in pain for a minute, but stayed in the game...

MLB is reporting that it's a torn ACL. That is terrible news.
