09/12 Los Angeles (Lowe) @ CUBS (Marshall) 7:05 CT, CSN

[Sammy Sofa]

I miss Nomar.

[JeffH]

Scott Moore taking fielding tips from Fast Freddie.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Sean Marshall done for the night.

 

As bad as the defense was, Marshall was pretty craptacular out there.

Fecal League update:

 

KC leading the Indians 4-3 at Cleveland, bottom of the 7th.

 

Cubs can crawl to 2 games back with a win (er, I mean loss) tonight.

[Sammy Sofa]

Still, besides the 3 hits, all Cub's outs tonight have been in the infield.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Interesting addendum to the KC/Cleveland game, Royals' pitcher Runelvys Hernandez and catcher John Buck got into a fight between innings.

 

We need something like that to liven up this game.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Congratulations Buck Coats...first major league hit.

[rynesrevenge0206]

Congrats to Buck on first hit!

[ToupeeOnFire]

RBI single by Pierre.

 

Cubs cooking up a rally.

 

Time for Bynum to atone for his sins.

[cheapseats]

Freddie, who has committed four errors tonight (although only 3 were scored as such), just singled home a run.

 

Yay Freddie.

[rynesrevenge0206]

RBI single Bynum!!

 

That's 1 error made up for....

[rynesrevenge0206]

RBI single D Lee!!

 

We're hot now!!

 

7-3

[JeffH]

Colonel Flagg pays a visit to the mound.

[Sammy Sofa]

If Bynum and Jacque had remembered they were supposedly MLB-level defenders, this game would be tied right now.

[CubColtPacer]

RBI single Bynum!!

 

That's 1 error made up for....

 

I'm giving him credit for 2 errors made up for with his 2 hits already..now he needs at least 1 more, and possibly 2 to make up for the other 2 misplayed balls (although he has a little credit left over from last night also with getting on 4 times last night).

[ToupeeOnFire]

Hat trick for Strap...3 K's in 3 AB's.

[Sammy Sofa]

I have no idea why pitchers don't always give it to Jacque low and inside. He goes after those like his life depends on it and always misses. It's like Corey and high fastballs last year.

[rynesrevenge0206]

Murt 2 RBI double!!!!!!!!!

 

7-5!!

[ToupeeOnFire]

Screw the Fecal League, double for Big Murt!!

[Sammy Sofa]

MURTOWNED!!!

[rynesrevenge0206]

Single for Moore, Murt to 3rd.

[cheapseats]

Comeback Cubs have runners at the corners with one out.

 

Is anybody in here?

[cheapseats]

And Hank White hits into a double play on the first pitch he sees.

[ToupeeOnFire]

And just like that, Hank dashes our hopes.

[Sammy Sofa]

Huh, I was banking on Cedeno fudging the whole thing up.
