3/1: SF (Zito) v Cubs (Marquis) 2:05CT, WGN-720 & XM181

[Bruce Miles]

Marquis: 20 pitches; 14 strikes

[cheapseats]

If he can just get double plays every pitch, I think he'll be alright.

 

It's amazing that he didn't try that in St. Louis.

Marquis: 20 pitches; 14 strikes

 

woah. Sounds good when you say it like that bruce.

[C.C.]

Double play! DeRosa's defense is sounding really good so far...I miss Todd, but this is a very nice change of pace from our regular 2nd baseman.

 

Defense is overrated.

Marquis: 20 pitches; 14 strikes

 

nice!

[ToupeeOnFire]

Marquis: 20 pitches; 14 strikes

And some of you wanted to ditch Larry Rothschild in the off-season.

The simplest solutions are often the best.

Agreed on the defense

It's just Dave Duncan pixie dust working a little later than expected :wink:

Now Beer...that's not overrated.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Are we seriously going to have Jones in the 2 hole against lefties?

 

Where's Freddie Bynum when you need him?

[Brian]

Cubs in midseason form ;)

[98navigator]

So far, Zito is elusive

I think Murton will be there against lefites, I think the Jones batting 2nd is against righties when Floyd is playing.

Not really. They're struggling against a GOOD pitcher. Not a bad one. That's a great change if you ask me. 8-)

No-Jones would only be in the 2 spot against right-handers. They are only going to start Jones in the 2 spot when Floyd starts with him, and the days where Floyd and Jones both play against left-handers would be very, very rare.

Beer is disgusting. Chocolate milk is an underrated drink if there ever was one.

[Brian]

Warlond in.

[Balsa]

Overstatement time :

 

Good lefty = death for Cubs

This man speaks the truth.

 

Also underrated: Orange soda.
