5/11 Cubs (Marshall) @ Giants (Wright) 2:35 WGN TV/XM 189

[Balsa]

Please just be one bad inning...

[Big Fergie J]

Even with my limited baseball knowledge I understand it is not a good thing to see the opposing team's pitcher bat in the 1st inning.

great 2 pitch at-bat for Ram. Gotta be aggressive dudes. Walking's for losers and base-cloggers.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Mabry grounded out to third, 5-3

[Chocolate Milk]

We're losing!!! Oh nose!

Marshall is having one bad start. It's not a big deal. Maddux's last two starts were bad. We need somebody to replace Hill and Guzman. I think Marshall should stay in the rotation.

 

hill might be alright. doesn't look like guzman's quite ready.

 

Marshall has looked better than Hill though. In his last 4 starts he had 25.1 IP and only gave up 4 ER. Marshall should stay in the rotation regardless unless he has a couple more bad starts.

Looks like RAM and the Cubs are already packing this game in. I can see a complete game for Wright today.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett singled to right field

[RynoRules]

I'm guessing the final score of this one will look something like the wind-blown San Fran-Chicago game at Soldier Field this past Fall.

[Wild_Cubs04]

Wow...mabry actually hit the ball....

Totally agree. Rookies are going to have bad games. Heck, look at the next phenom Felix H. in Seattle. He's been bad all season. Marshall has looked great except for today. Guzman and Hill need more seasoning though.

[da bears]

Well this sucks. I come back from selling books to find the Cubs down 5 after one. Geez.

[Master Shake]

Let's see what Jones has in him today...

agree. i don't expect prior back anytime soon, so will have to go w/ 2 rooks.

Excuse me I may of missed something...When did Hill look good and why do you think he'll be alright?

To quote Bart Simpson.

 

"I didn't think it was possible, but this both sucks AND blows."

[Banghart]

Marshall will settle down. Marshall will settle down. Marshall will settle down. If you say it enough times, it has to be true.
