4/10 Astros (Sampson) @ Cubs (Marquis) 1:20CT CSN / XM185

[BigSlick]

Ok, God damnit, this isn't a good start.

[cubbyvirus00]

oh god.....no 3 run homerz plz

[Fred Hornkohl]

The team faced left-handers 1/3 of the time they played last year. This year, they have only faced left-handers 1 out of 8 games. Considering that Murton will start against every left-hander, the fact that after today he'll still have half the starts means that he's likely to get more than half the at-bats once the Cubs start playing against more left-handers. I'm not worried about it right now.

 

Please note that Eric Milton of the Reds (05 Apr) and Chris Capuano of the Brewers (08 Apr) are both left handed.

Milton didn't start that game, Lohse did.

 

I stand corrected :oops:

[RichHillIsABeast]

Carlos Lee sucks.

[BigSlick]

DAMNIT

[E.J.]

There's the Marquis we know.

[Brian]

here's the Marquis we feared.

[mfische5]

Oh this is a great start...Least i have class in an hour.

[RichHillIsABeast]

ugh.

[E.J.]

It's fun playing from behind.

[CDBears1259]

Well that's a suck-egg start.

[BigSlick]

This is the Marquis we know? He gave a not particularly well-hit ground ball single to Carlos Lee that found a hole.

 

The bad Marquis gives up home-runs.

[cubbyvirus00]

the fat bastard kills us again

[Andy]

Carlos Lee is my least-favorite human being

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-3 when their opponent scores first.

CUBS are 0-2 when the opponent scores in the first inning.

 

Go CUBS !!

[BigbadB]

I forgot to mention that Lou also said it was based on splits.

 

dude, whats a split?

/looks confused, chews on toothpick

 

Well, Piniella didn't use the word splits. I believe he used match ups.

[soccer10k]

Wonderful start. Good thing the Champions League will start in 15 minutes.

[BigSlick]

Never mind, he's terrible.

[98navigator]

Oh God

[bc2k]

Wade Miller might get his bullpen action soon...

[moorecg]

good start

now not so much...

[mfische5]

Wow, Marquis, find the part of the strike zone that isn't over the dead center of the plate.

 

Can we switch yesterday and todays pitching performance?

[CDBears1259]

SOB SOB SOB SOB SOB!!!!

[RichHillIsABeast]

Awesome. 3-0

[BigSlick]

DAMNIT MARQUIS

 

I know the offense pissed you off last time, but why you gotta do this to me. I'm asking for a favor here.
