That would be Marmol's second career HR, although the first came before he moved to the pitcher's mound.

 

And I hope he doesn't still look like a 9 year old at the plate...

HA HA

Good lord Marmol looks young there. Then again if he keeps pitching like he has been so far this year I don't care what he looks like.

Are you sure that isn't the Baker kid? lol

Jon, your sig is the greatest picture you have ever created. If there was a way to change the graphics to get to say "Juan Pierre's Recliner of Rage" it would be the best Cubs picture of all-time.

Thanks. It's possible, I suppose. I might try later. The line through Bernard sure is easier, though.

 

By the way, here are Marmol's career stats at the plate from way back when:

 

 Avg  Obp  Slg  Ops 
.314 .368 .393 .761    2000 w/ the Dominican team
.295 .345 .380 .725    2002 w/ Mesa
.258 .271 .339 .610    2001 w/ Mesa

BTW- The interview with Andy MacPhail from last night is up in the Chats Forum

Micah deserves a nomination for the Minor League Single Game Performance of the Week. If he gets it, NSBB should be able to put him over the top.

Good call!

Peoria leads 2-1 in the bottom of the 6th.

 

Iowa takes a 1-0 lead in the 1st as Restovich drives in Pie. Felix reached on a HBP to lead off the game.

Oh, and BTW, Felix was nominated last week but is currently running behind some guy named BJ Upton. If you want to vote it's on the MiLB Home Page.

61 votes? I think we can do something to help the Pie cause.

[Flames24Rulz]

Hoffpauir with a homer in the 2nd game! Wow, Micah is locked in.

He definitely ate that last spoon of Wheaties!

[Chris]

ha ha, Jaxx pitchers are 4-4

[Chris]

Hoffpauir pops out with the bases loaded. Hoffpauir now 5-6 with 2 HRs and 7 RBI on the night :shock:

[Flames24Rulz]

Free baseball for Peoria as they are tied with Beloit at 2 heading to extras.

I've got Pie up to 90 votes now; unfortunately I have to clear my cookies after each time I vote which gets redundant after awhile. Taking a page out of vance's book though I won't stop until he's winning.

I'll make a request for some others to get involved in the cause.

[texascub]

Pie now has a 20 vote lead over Upton...how much further shall we go?

[Chris]

ha ha, that's great! When does the poll end?

[Flames24Rulz]

Peoria in the 12th.

 

Iowa down 5-4 now in the 4th. Valdes with a not so stellar outing tonight. He is already at the 85 pitch mark.

 

Jaxx still up 1-0 in the 6th.

[Chris]

Ugh, Jaxx down 2-1

[texascub]

Pie now has 50% of the vote. This equates to 222 votes for Felix so far. How much longer should I go tonight?
