Oh man the Shooter has passed on.......................wow that gives me chills. Too bad.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bob and Len just paid tribute to the Shooter.

[mspcanes1]

guess it's true...been hearing it all morning here in phoenix that the shooter passed.

 

rip shooter. i know the kool cigarette company will miss ya

[soccer10k]

Lou must not want any more adventures in centerfield.

[OleMissCub]

Shooter would always do crap like walk the bases loaded then get out of the jam somehow. It was like he was doing it on purpose.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierzynski flied out to left field

[soccer10k]

Great job Marshall.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Nice outing for Sean!

 

Let's hope the bullpen can make this 2-run lead stick.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 26-15 when their pitchers average 15 pitches per inning or less..... 8-24 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[soccer10k]

Off to a bad start.

Why's Marshall done after just 81 pitches thrown? I'm distractedly watching the game, was he seriously laboring?

[TruffleShuffle]

what the hell was that marmol

Marshall was throwing fine, and Dempster is not available. This was a dumb change.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Iguchi singled to left field

[Keener98]

2-1 now in Milw

And the bottom of their order is coming up.

[Soul]

Uh-oh, Marmol starting off poorly.

[David]

Is it me or are Marmol's mannerisms looking Z-esque today?

didn't the sox go like 1-66 against someone's bullpen last week? not saying he shoulda pulled him, but going from a soft tossing lefty to a hard throwing righty might just put the dagger in a team that clearly can't adjust to new pitchers.
