I think it was one of the all time bonehead moves in the history. He did not pull Zambrano for a pinch hitter (Z had batted the inning before w/ runners on 2nd & 3rd with 2 out) and Z was not tired. He had only pitched 6 innings 85 pitches and was dominating. He pulled Zambrano to save him for game 4.
The offense was shitting the bed, Zambrano was the only Cub on the field who looked like he belonged in the playoffs and Lou took him out of a one one tie.
