5/9 Pirates (Gorzelanny) @ Cubs (Marquis) - 7:05pm CSN/720

[Derwood]

Ohman stirring in the 'pen

 

shouldn't he be warming up instead?

[killthegoat06]

How're we doing? I saw that the Brewers won earlier...again.

[soccer10k]

Anyone entirely comfortable with Sori's approach to catching fly balls?

 

Are you kidding me?

 

Getting airborne gets rid of any chance a sudden earthquake, volcanic eruption, or any sort of seismic event would throw off his balance and force him to miss the ball.

 

Awesome.

Soriano hit a lead off homer, and nobody has done anything since for either team

[Post Count Padder]

Inning over

[Omar]

Why do fans behind the plate duck on foul offs when there's a screen there?

 

Fans on their feet..

 

And a pop out to DeRosa. Lets go Cubs offense!

[seanimal]

Holy Crap. Jason Marquis, your table is ready.

[Derwood]

okay, seriously, runs please

[cubs121]

pop out!

[98navigator]

Eldred PH for Gorzelanny out to DeRosa

[soccer10k]

So do we bring in Dempster for the ninth or let Marquis close it out?

[PrimeTime]

He better be out there i nthe ninth... NO DUMPSTER

[RichHillIsABeast]

Outstanding game, Jason Marquis. =D>

[Mizzou]

What's his pitch count up to now?

[Lockes Eye Scar]

leave him in.

[Brian]

Marquis at 99, anybody else want him to finish it?

[Rob]

okay, seriously, runs please

 

And dial down the intensity? I think not.

[PrimeTime]

ERA 1.77 Holy...

because your focus is through the screen and your brain just reflexes that way

Has marquis been as good as his line indicates? :shock:

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Demp needs a day off anyway

[CubColtPacer]

After 8 innings, Marquis is now only .01 behind Rich Hill in ERA. In fact, they are 3rd and 4th in that category in the NL/ML.

[CubmanPi]

So do we bring in Dempster for the ninth or let Marquis close it out?

If he's still under a hundred pitches, then yes. Otherwise, I can't complain about bringing in Dumpsterfor another chance. Marquis went 8 last time too.

 

I'm really loving this guy, btw.

[Rob]

Marquis at 99, anybody else want him to finish it?

 

I dunno. I can't switch to Gameday and I'm having a complete brain cramp about who's coming up next.

 

Have we had a CG this year yet?

[Mizzou]

Marquis at 99, anybody else want him to finish it?

Absolutely.
