Zambrano wins 100th

Carlos Zambrano picked up his 100th career victory Friday and hit what proved to be the game-winning home run. Not bad for someone coming back from a six-game suspension.

The perennial preseason Cy Young hopeful led the Cubs to a 2-1 win over the Reds. He's 4- 2 on the year and off to what should amount to another 15-win season.

It's no secret Zambrano credits God for his talent. In 2005, he specifically told La Voz Nueva (a publication for Hispanics in Denver, Colo.) that "it's God that gave me these talents. The physical is God-given."

As for pointing to the sky on his way to the dugout between innings, Zambrano told the Chicago Sun-Times' Lacy J. Banks this in 2006:

"I give thanks to God for that inning, be it a bad or good inning. I don't want people to think that I'm some big ... you know. I just want people to see the love of Jesus and that Jesus is true. That's why I try to show the people that I have Jesus in my heart."

Zambrano's 100th comes one day after Randy Johnson's 300th.

Will Zambrano be sky high tonight?

On the heels of Randy Johnson's 300th win Thursday, Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano takes the hill tonight in search of win No. 100.

Zambrano pointed to the heavens after he no-hit Houston last year, but things have hardly come that close to perfect for "Z" in 2009.

Zambrano's coming off a six-game suspension for losing his cool after a close play at the plate May 27. He complicated matters by missing a team flight during that off time. Supposedly though, all of the above's been worked out.

Time will tell... First pitch is at 6:10 p.m.
