5/1 Cubs (Marshall) vs. Pirates (Santos) 7:05 CSN

[Kyle]

I know everybody's pissed at Jones right now, and so am I but when is Aram going to start hitting. I hope its sometime this year. He looks like he did at Pitt for a couple of years. The bad ones that is.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

if JP is gonna waste time selling a hit by pitch, maybe he try to take a few balls and get a walk

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno grounded out to short, 6-3

bob says pierre's game is all about getting on base. at a 29% clip, apparently.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Sit Jones right now and send a message.

 

Not that i'm really defending Jones, but would you have advocating sitting Cedeno after getting picked off of first essentially twice?

 

Most definitely. That was worse than Jones stupidity.

With this offense (and complete lack of bench), they don't have the luxury to be sitting players to send a message. At least Jock hits right handed pitching.

Another Santos owning of the Cubs looks like, good thing it's the Pirates and Marshall is pitching better.

[Blueheart05]

In other news, Magic Wandy has been cruising this year for the Astros. only 1 run so far tonight through 4 innings.

[Jake]

In other news, Dontrelle just got shelled by Philly.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

He's on my fantasy team.

[Guancous]

I will interrupt the general tone of negativity to say that Marshall enters May with a firm shot at Rookie of the Year. Everyone talked up the young hitters like Zimmerman, Fielder, or a Marlin but Marshall has been spectacular as of late.

[Shavo]

BASES LOADED, NOBODY OUT, SANTOS ON THE MOUND AND YOU GUYS DON'T SCORE ON US?

 

WHY, YOU'RE ALMOST AS PATHETIC AS WE ARE!

 

Almost, that is.

 

At least if the Pirates did that in Pitt there would have only been 20 fans there to see it ...

Nonsense. We're getting a lot of fans these days. Remember, we have the All-Star game, that means that season tickets were very good this year.

 

And, PNC Park is wonderful. People go just because of it.

 

If we were still at 3 rivers cookie cutter, than, yeah, 20 people only.

 

Your right. PNC is probably my third favorite park in the league right now. Too bad the Pirates aren't winning much right now, that park deserves some spotlight.

 

On a diffrent note, our offense is badddd.

8IP, 4H, 1ER now for Bronson

Why? This offense is a giant turd anyways. The "hit" it would take would be too small to see.

[otis89]

You know, this is the most complaining I've ever seen in a game thread when we're winning the game. :lol:

[Jake]

Wow. We're still in the game.

 

We're one inning away from Santo's first quality start of the year.

[Brian]

Wow. We're still in the game.

 

We're one inning away from Santo's first quality start of the year.

 

that's our Cubs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castillo grounded out to short, 6-3

The rest of the NL has figured out if given a chance, Santos will pitch him self into trouble, somebody please send the Memo to the Cubs.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

we only complain because we care :D

[Andy]

It's about time Ronnie put one of those up on WGN radio.

[KatJ]

Cincinnati pounding on the Cardinals tonight. Is the Cards' pitching FINALLY coming down to earth, or just the offense not called Albert Pujols?

[da bears]

Another typical Cubs offensive game. :evil:

[sweetpeteman]

1 pitch, 1 out. the rest of the staff (excluding Maddux) needs to be taking notes.
