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

[Sammy Sofa]

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

 

Are we already starting with the "Dumpster" crap?

[Derwood]

i think if the cubs can get a run or two, you put marquis out there to finish it

[soccer10k]

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

 

With that pitch count, he should be out there for the ninth. Have Demp warming up in case he gets into trouble but this is Marquis' game to finish.

[PrimeTime]

99...Hell yea..He has like 20 more pitches in him

[CubmanPi]

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

 

 

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

 

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

He may have gotten a little defensive help, but yes, he's been quite impressive.

I really don't get why this nickname is allowed but so many others like K and Patt, and Sam and ME weren't.

he blew ONE SAVE (a one run save at that). he's been pretty great

[Omar]

Let Marquis go 9!

DLee snagged a couple line drives and another was hit right at Aramis... but that's about it as far as the defense really picking him up.

*raises hand*

[PrimeTime]

That first pitch to lee was right down the middle and he missed it

[Sammy Sofa]

"Cubs would love to add some runs this inning..."

 

...but they won't.

[98navigator]

I say send him out for the 9th!

Agreed this is his game. He's at 99 pitches. Let him finish it. He's been amazing this year. Just amazing.

[seanimal]

Nobody up in the 'pen, looks like it's Marquis' game.

Agreed. It helps he's not due up this inning.

[ToupeeOnFire]

I suppose we should be happy Gorzelanny is out of the game, but does it really matter? The Cubs aren't gonna score no matter who they send out there.

[Omar]

Lee Ks. 1 down.

[Post Count Padder]

Lee down on strikes :x

[Derwood]

lee down

 

Ramirez OWNS Chacon (8 for 14, 5 HR)

[B]

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!

 

I bet you would too if you were sitting there. It's a reflex.

[C.C.]

Man even DLEE looks like crap!

[98navigator]

DLee swinging and a miss

 

Shawn Chacon has thrown more inning than any reliever this season 24 (?)

[Omar]

lee down

 

Ramirez OWNS Chacon (8 for 14, 5 HR)

 

9 for 15!

[seanimal]

Base hit, Ramirez

 

Drive him in Murt.
