For some reason I have feeling we lose this game. Don't know why....

[Derwood]

Here's hoping we get a complete game out of Marquis, as the bullpen got burned the first day after an off day (thanks Lou)

I wonder what kind of lineup we'll see with a LHP on the mound. I guess Jones will probably still be in CF as there isn't really a RH option there. Hopefully Murton in RF, DeRosa at 2B and Theriot at SS. No Izturis, please. Edited May 9, 2007 by soapy

Gorzelanny is tough. I hope we can score enough to win in regulation.

nah, you'll see DeRosa in RF with Izzy firmly planted at SS. I expect Blanco too

This wouldn't surprise me. I'm staying realistic and hoping for either a Murton start or a non-Izzy start. Both would be great, but let's see at least one of those, Lou.

Who knowns maybe this team will wake up and realize it should pound a LHP once in a while. Tonight would be nice...

[C.C.]

After that joke of a game last night, it'll be nice to see a well played game by the Cubs.

[Mark_R]

My guess at the lineup:

 

Soriano- LF

Theriot- SS

Lee- 1B

Ramirez- 3B

Murton- RF

DeRosa- 2B

Pie- CF

Blanco- C

[soapy]

Did Barrett catch all 15 innings last night? I couldn't watch the game. I guess Blanco starting is a good possibility, though I had assumed that would be tomorrow with the day game after night game. I guess it makes just as much sense to start him tonight and Barrett tomorrow.

He's been very good on the road this season as well.

[Garwilly]

Win. Be it 8 innings, 9, 15, or 20.

[Moonlight Graham]

I will be at Wrigley and I am 2-0 this year.

Here is to another solid Marquis outing.

Here is to another solid Marquis outing(I didn't think I would be saying that this year).

If the Cubs are going to lose, it'd be super if they did it in 9 innings and not more.

Yeah, he caught all 15 innings.

[Balsa]

Please win this.

 

No want Pirates to win series.

[anabiono]

they better take this series...they finally get above 500 and then decide to fall apart and flop back down to even again...crap

 

seriously...a game above 500 is no place to rest on your laurels
