6/8 Cubs (Marshall) @ Braves (Cormier) 6:35 CSN, TBS

[Omar]

This is the perfect spot to get Gallagher's feet wet and Lou's bringing in Wuertz. :roll:

 

I would've used Eyre and have an excuse not to use him tomorrow if it's a close game.

[sandberg23]

Nice shout out to Vance from Len. Only added to the already great game!

I would have used Eyre as well. Gallagher is not being used because he is the long man, and they want to save him for a situation where he would have to go a few innings-at least that's what I think is why it is.

[Flames24Rulz]

Cubs win!

[Omar]

Popout to 3B...

 

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

[98navigator]

Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Cubs Win!

[cubscausestress]

8-4 Anaheim over St. Louis

[Omar]

Only bad thing about the win is that bad Dan Plesac is back.

 

"If Cubs can just..."

 

"If..."

 

"...talent..."

 

"...starting pitching..."

 

"...the..."

Barring a major collapse by the Angels, the Cubs will be in second place this evening.

[JonnyRed]

Great win by our Cubs! I'm starting to get a good feeling about this team. What's lost in the Sori hit parade has been two terrific outings by our young lefties, Hill and Marshall. Add in Marmol and a healthy Guzman, and I'd have to say we have the most impressive group of young pitchers in MLB. And just wait until D-Lee and Ram heat back up! Let's make it 4 in a row tomorrow!

[98navigator]

OMG, Texas had a 7-1 lead and now it's 7-6. TERRIBLE pitching. Bottom 7 coming up

[Omar]

Come on CSN, do an insightful Soriano interview!

[Alfonso Soriano]

I made a "Other game thread"

[Brian]

I don't know if this was brought up, but wouldn't tonights game have been the perfect place to get Gallagher's feet wet? Otherwise I can't complain, nice little win.

I thought the exact same thing.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Yeah, Lou pretty much tries to put the wrong relievers in, it's the only logical explanation.

[soccer10k]

Wow on Soriano. I love it. And another solid start from Marshall.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marshall is pretty damn good, I think.

[jjgman21]

anyone ever see the umpire crew change after the first game of a series before?

 

definetely not a bad thing seeing Charlie's crew leave town, but I will say despite the beatdown, I thought the Braves got the benefit of the strikezone more often than the Cubs tonight.

I was just going to post something about Gallagher not pitching. He's been up a couple days now, and hasn't pitched in quite some time since his last start. Why not let him get his feet wet in a blowout? Don't understand it at all.

The only thing that makes sense is with Marquis and Lilly going the next 2 days, Lou wanted a long man just in case. Both of them last time out struggled so I think hes just covering his ass.

Marquis didn't.

There's something I dont get about today. Soriano hits 3 home runs... and it says "Soriano: 3 HR Vs. Atlanta" on the bottom left of ESPNEWS Breaking News box.

 

The thing I dont get about it is, the Cubs dont play in New York, Boston, and Soriano isn't a left fielder in the city of San Francisco.

 

Has the world gone mad?

Soriano used to be a Yankee.
