7/6 Cubs (Marquis) @ Pirates (Maholm), 6:05 CT, CSN+

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot grounded out to first, unassisted , Marquis to third

[CubmanPi]

Marquis' baserunning just earned us the run that Pagan's cost us. Holy crap!!

[TysonCBulls423]

Marquis manufactures a run all by himself. :D

[Andy]

WOW!

 

When you're winning, these things just seem to happen, don't they?

[Schwarber Fan]

Make Marquis the next Rick Ankiel!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marquis scored on a wild pitch

[UMFan83]

Did anyone hear that bullhorn that sounded right when Fontenot was about to ground out? Or was that just something I heard outside my house?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lee walked

[CubmanPi]

Lee draws the walk - I'm down for an aramalamadingdong right about now.

it was an air horn

[Roast]

I turn on the TV and the cubs promptly score 2 runs. go me.

[Shyam]

I just saw the score in the Twins/Sox game. 20-14, Twins win. Wowage.

 

Too bad they missed the extra point ... cost me the over/under

[Allroy]

Come on Rammy, you know you want to launch one here.

Thats usually something people keep to themsleves...

[otis89]

When was the last time Lee stole a base? It seems like it's been forever.

[Guancous]

I think these Pittsburgh announcers are narcoleptic. I guess I'd be burnt out too after thousands of Pirates innings. It's like we're playing the 2000 Cubs.

Damnit Aram.

[Iceblink]

"Let fweedom wing"

 

Gouge out my ears if I hear that again, I will.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sanchez homered to left center field

[Roast]

:(

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-5 when they hit a sacrifice fly.... 29-36 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[CubmanPi]

I was just about to commend the Cubs on coming back to eliminate the lead right after giving up those two runs.

 

I guess now I'll commend Marquis for being so prompt about reminding us that this is the Cubs.

[Roast]

We're trying to lose to the freakin pirates.
