4/18 Cubs (Z) at Braves (Davies) 6:35 p.m. CT CSN+

[Brian]

why are we in a situation where a pitcher is batting down two in the ninth?

 

1 down.

 

2 runs i'm assuming is what he meant

[rynefan]

Why do I put myself through this every year?

[98navigator]

What exactly did Murton do?

 

suck on the bases!

 

He's done this before BTW

 

 

three times he should have scored from3B;

 

once on an infield ground out and twice on pitches that got away from the catcher :x :x :x

[Soul]

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CURSE.

 

Anyone who believes otherwise is freaking kidding themselves.

 

Marquis is pinch hitting in the 9th. There's a curse, time to accept it.

[Magnetic Curses]

it would be nice if something good would happen for any of my teams, anything!

[coldsteel]

hehe when marquis came up i thought Pat said "The Cubs have used up all their best players..." -- i suppose he said bench not best

[98navigator]

Marquis flies out after a long AB

[dalgreen]

Is Marquis really pinch hitting? :shock:

 

I wish Theriot would've done what Marquis did.

[inari]

Guys, guys. Rich Hill is facing off against Mark Redman tomorrow. I'm not going to take anything for granted, but I'll take a road split against this good Braves team any day of the week.

Sure there is, we've been cursed with pathetic management and pathetic players for almost a century.

[Soul]

LOL, I can not believe we actually just trotted Marquis out there to pinch hit.

 

 

Alright, that's it. 100 losses. No question about it. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to have his head examined.

[rynefan]

Now D is hacking away. Is there a god?

[ltb]

blanco isn't much of a better hitter. and soriano can't play.

yeah, and then we'll be back to three games under. Would be nice to actually touch .500 and freakin stay there.

I can't wait until the new owner(s) fire Hendry.

I remember Redman did well against us before. With this team there are no guarantees.

[98navigator]

why are we in a situation where a pitcher is batting down two in the ninth?

 

Because we have a short bench. Soriano is unavailable and all the other position players were used

[Rob]

Now D is hacking away. Is there a god?

 

He fouled off one close pitch when he had 2 strikes.

 

:roll:

All I can do is lie in the fetal position and twitch.

You should have your head Z-rayed.

[rynefan]

I'm off to find a calculator with enough places to calculate Eyre's ERA. BRB.

[98navigator]

DLee 3-2 count

 

he's trying

[KingCubsFan]

Could Hendry not score from third either?

[cjbucks]

The LA Dodgers are 10-4 and they have Mike Lieberthal batting cleanup tonight :?

He assembled this crappy *** team. And spent huge money in doing so.

 

I know it's early, and save me the Astros and Marlins garbage, but this team looks exactly like last year's. When we get good pitching, we can't hit. When we hit, we don't get good pitching.
