6/13 Mariners (Batista) v. CUBS (Marshall) WGN 7:05pm CST

[TruffleShuffle]

a marker with a cubs logo on it? yee-haw.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bloomquist grounded out to second, 4-3

[Omar]

I'm serious. Sharpie Day isnt a good idea. Wrigley Field will be named "Graffiti Field" Sunday and re-named "Windex Field" Monday.

[TruffleShuffle]

haha Bob, you may be an awful analyst, but at least you're entertaining

 

yeah, you could tell that len wanted to get off the topic for a solid two minutes, but damned if bob didn't go on talking about what it's like to get hit in the balls

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hey guys, I have a question. How many bunts have we laid down this year? Why Marshall didn't bunt there is beyond me completely.

 

18 Sac Bunts this year

[third eye]

Seriously, it does seem like the second he steps to the plate, he is immediately in an 0-2 count every time. Didnt seem to bother him when he was on his hot streak. But man, is he streaking the other way now.

Marshall is rolling. 52 pitches thru 5

[TruffleShuffle]

plus the cubs will probably crap the bed on saturday, so the sharpies give fans a convenient item to throw on the field

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I was actually talking about Bob's hilariously awful segue into the Sharpie ad, then him yelling the "WRITE OUT LOUD". But it's a tribute to him as a character that there was a similar moment so soon afterward.

Every since he got hit.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

sharpie day? dumb.

hey, don't knock it i specifically bought tickets to get that sharpie... :roll:

[seanimal]

runs?

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

runs?

no thanks, cubs got their quota for the night

[TruffleShuffle]

marshall is well on his way to an undeserved no-decision or one-run loss

[Omar]

runs?

 

What are these "runs" you speak of?

[E.J.]

Gotta love Marshall's pitch count through 5. Now if the offense can just come through for him.

[ctcf]

Marshall deserves a gold star.

 

And some runs.

[C.C.]

runs?

 

Nah.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pie blooped a single to center field

[Andy]

<3 Felix!!!

[Butterscup1679666578]

bloops are awesome when they go your way.

[C.C.]

Pie has been wonderful tonight.

[soccer10k]

Leadoff hits are nice. Watching the Cubs inevitably fail to take advantage of it is not.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

well soriano has crushed a few balls that the wind has held up the past few days...and crushed one to the wall in atlanta that seemed to die...id say he will be just fine...
