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.

what if he leaves zambrano in and he gives up the two run home run? pulling zambrano wasn't the wrong move just as leaving him in wouldn't have been the wrong move. shit happens. if lou pulls zambrano for wuertz or ohman, then we have a bitch. pulling him for the best young reliver in baseball? thats not a bad move.
