[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Allison Payne doesn't look too happy about the late game. :shock:

[circlechange]

Why do they bother to have the news after games like this? Who is waiting through 18 innings just to see the WGN news?

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Who pitches tomorrow?

who is ready in Iowa or Tennessee?

 

Len speculated that it might be Wade Miller.

[jjgman21]

looks like the longest gamethread since 6/2

[EricG]

someone post the boxscore on this one.

[mlarner]

Who pitches tomorrow?

who is ready in Iowa or Tennessee?

 

From http://www.cubs.com:

Not Jerome:

Jerome Williams gave up six runs on 10 hits and three walks over three innings in Iowa's 11-2 loss to Memphis on Sunday.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Well, I'm up for 18 more in about 12 hours.

[A New Era]

I think we're gonna get to see MORE rookie pitchers from our minors this week. Hill can't pitch, Guzman can't pitch. . .

[circlechange]

Did UMFan83 make it to the end?

[ZMovieman]

Allison Payne doesn't look too happy about the late game. :shock:

 

Camera Man: Alright Alison, you're on in three...

 

Allison: n%nt&9f56$!

 

Camera Man: ...two...

 

Allison: ::violent shakes::

 

Camera Man: ...one...

 

Allison: FIERY DEATHS FOR ALL!

 

Camera Man: And we're live!

 

Allison with a smile: And now for your nightly news...

[Brian]

It was nice to see our young pitchers (Mateo, Gooz and Hill)all step up, and be excited to be there and to win

[jjgman21]

Marshall only pitched three innings in his start 8/12. maybe he gets the nod?

[Mephistopheles]

They wouldn't call up Marshall early on rehab AND ask him to start on short rest, would they?

[lowest]

Brenly: "MATT MURTON IS MY FAVORITE PLAYER!"

 

good job to all the guys tonight. special mention to murton, jones, ramirez, and the majority of the pitchers.

A team with a real GM and a real manager certainly would not. The Cubs, on the other hand.....

[jjgman21]

just treat it as another rehab start and only ask for 4-5. gotta be willing to sacrifice an occasional game for the better of the entire team.

 

is Miller on the 40 man, or still on the 60 day DL?

[bcruise]

OMG, there's another game still going - Arizona and Colorado are tied at 1. In the 17th.

 

 

AT COORS. :shock:

Did he really say that?

[Mephistopheles]

Well if he's take off the 60 day DL, then wed be at 40

[YearofDaCubs]

OMG, there's another game still going - Arizona and Colorado are tied at 1. In the 17th.

 

 

AT COORS. :shock:

Coors homer rate for this year is down by a lot.

[UMFan83]

Did UMFan83 make it to the end?

 

I'm still young!

 

Edit: Look for me to create a "struggling through work" thread tomorrow morning.
