5/28 Marlins (Kim) @ Cubs (Marshall) 1:20 CST CSN

That eagle had more control than the Cub's bullpen combined... [rimshot]

[inari]

Great to see a soldier get the first pitch.

[hawkcub]

It was great to see the good Hawk (Andre Dawson) at Wrigley

[Iceblink]

Pagan's OPS: .906

Jones' OPS: .640

Zambrano's OPS: .667

 

Cool that Jones is starting.

 

According to the ESPN preview, we've got a 58% chance of winning, and Aramis and Soriano have 26.9 and 24% chances of hitting homers, respectively. It's that .9% that matters for ARam.

Jones has shown he can hit righties fairly well over his career. As much as I don't like the guy, I'm confident he's going to come around against the right handers.

[inari]

Haha what a great start. E1

[E.J.]

Nice. First play of the game and we already have an error. Good start.

[Mizzou]

Hasn't Zambrano always been significantly better with Blanco catching him?

 

Not really.

 

673 OPS against w/ Barrett behind the plate, 660 with Blanco.

 

He actually pitched extremely well to Paul Bako. Maybe he just imagined that paul was in the batter's box instead of behind the plate.

I'm not really that concerned with the OPS allowed. What are the ERA's for each? Matter of fact, where are you getting this info?

[Flames24Rulz]

Whew.

[inari]

Ick. That was scary.

 

Speaking of scary, what the heck is up with Miggy's eye black?

[B]

gameday is showing that flyball in the bleachers.

[E.J.]

Ick. That was scary.

 

Speaking of scary, what the heck is up with Miggy's eye black?

 

Black is a slimming color? Trying to hide his fat face?

[E.J.]

gameday is showing that flyball in the bleachers.

 

It was pretty close to getting there.

[Flames24Rulz]

That was a pathetic 0-2 pitch.

[E.J.]

Nice pitch Marshall. :x

[hawkcub]

Not good.

[inari]

Can't just lay it in there on 0-2, Sean. That's the most frustrating thing in the world.

[E.J.]

Way to get out of it Marshall. Hopefully the Cubs will score you some runs today.

[inari]

If we can't score runs against BY Kim, I'm going to have serious doubts about the gumption of this team. Not that I didn't have those doubts already.

[C.C.]

Falling behind on the first two hitters.

[C.C.]

If we can't score runs against BY Kim, I'm going to have serious doubts about the gumption of this team. Not that I didn't have those doubts already.

 

I'll do one better. If they don't score at least 4-5 runs off this idiot you might as well pack it in.

[inari]

Kim obviously doesn't have good stuff today. We've gotta answer back.

[Flames24Rulz]

What the hell are you looking for, Lee?

[C.C.]

Kim obviously doesn't have good stuff today. We've gotta answer back.

 

Swing at a ball and look at a fastball down the middle of the plate.

[bhogg]

anyone having mlb.com trouble? I can't even bring up the darn site.
