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

[Allroy]

Come on Marquis. You are killing us you pud.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Doumit flied out to left field

[illiniguy]

The wind blowing out doesn't mean much for us, what with Lee having the power of an eight year old girl.

[Allroy]

Projection: The Cubs have another homerless game.

[Roast]

Yeah...so far too many FB's for a sinkerballer that inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Our Grand Marquis has a flat tire.

[TruffleShuffle]

boy marquis sure has that power sinker working this game

[Roast]

Our Grand Marquis has a flat tire.

 

I drive a grand marquis. true story.

[CubColtPacer]

Yeah...so far too many FB's for a sinkerballer that inning.

 

Yeah, not a good night for the sinker that had been working well for 3-4 starts (that doesn't mean all those starts were good, but his g/f ratio over the last few weeks has been very good) suddenly be lost again.

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa grounded out to short, 6-3

[justlikethecubs]

yep.. the ball is sinking right into the left field stands. :)

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I predict the Pirates score three more off of Marquis before this thing is over.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pagan called out on strikes

[Allroy]

Vance I didn't see a "just win, bitches". Maybe I just missed it but if you forgot I'm pinning this one on you.

[RyCubsFan]

[TysonCBulls423]

Very bad inning for the Cobs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bautista struck out swinging

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wilson bunted for an IF single to shortstop

Maholm sacrificed, to first base 3-4, Wilson to second
