Nice AB, Jacque.

[Brian]

Marmol warming up

[illiniguy]

nice hit cesar. would be nice to add a few more runs.

 

Ever since they got rid of that rule that allows you to drive runs in with your glove, his career has really gone downhill.

Wouldn't we see scott moore first?

[gflore34]

You know there's nothing bad about brushing a guy back once in a while, I'd love see someone brush Fielder off plate. He's getting way too comfortable at the plate.

They don't play baseball like that now. It's really too bad.

 

With his slow trot and all, what do think someone like Gibson, Drysdale or Jenkins would have done to Fielder?

[nick23]

If ARAM goes to the DL, any chance that EPATT is called up to man 2b? It would be sickening to see Izturis starting everyday for a couple of weeks.

Is he on the 40 man?

[Wilmo]

I agree. And if he did decide to charge the mound...Now that would be a fun one to watch.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Good, Marmol has been lights out.

 

 

 

 

Jinx?

Well I am still in my 20's so I really can only go by rep. But, I would imagine they would have drilled most of these guys today. I also imagine they would be suspended a lot now too.

[Flames24Rulz]

Great job by the offense after the 3rd inning :roll:

Z would pummel that fat boy.

[nick23]

We're officially done scoring for the day.

[jersey cubs fan]

I don't like Jones or Izturis, and thought they'd each be relatively bad, but they've both significantly underperformed what I thought they were capable of doing. That's pretty amazing, in a pathetic sort of way.

[illiniguy]

makes it easier to lose 6-5 in 15 innings that way

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Why is Z still pitching? Screw you Trammell.

[Brian]

Lou looks pretty stylin' in that shirt.

[inari]

Why is Z still pitching? Screw you Trammell.

 

I'm sure the bullpen's heavy workload over the past two has something to do with it.

No, he isn't. I think Mike Fontenot or Scott Moore are more likely call-ups since they already play third base - Cedeño is obviously a possiblity too if you want to plug in DeRosa or Theriot at third base.

[alroy88]

Why is Z still pitching? Screw you Trammell.

 

i can see trammell coming to the mound in a bases loaded jam this inning, reminding Z that he hasn't touched 98 yet, and then as carlos rears back for his 130th pitch, his arm falls off...

 

hold plz

[Alfonso Soriano]

KKKKKKKKK

[ctcf]

Yay Z!

[inari]

Why pull Z now? It's a right hander, you might as well let him go for it.

[ctcf]

Felix didn't play that too well....

[Brian]

next 3 batters are huge

[98navigator]

Why is Z still pitching? Screw you Trammell.

 

Marmol coming in now

[E.J.]

Great game for Z today. Only the 1 mistake on the day, and there's nothing to be ashamed of for giving up a homer to Fielder.
