Fred, I believe Doumit struck out swinging. Just letting you know.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Have I ever mentioned that I own Marmol's AA jersey?

[TysonCBulls423]

This homerless streak is a bit mindboggling. I bet Z ends it tomorrow :lol:

[otis89]

1 down!

[Bruce Miles]

Lilly's 11th quality start. If Cubs hold on to win, they'll be 32-12 in games they get a quality start. Their starters have a 1.62 ERA in those games. They will have won their last seven games in which they've gotten a QS. Only once this year, has a Cubs pitcher done the minimum in a QS (6 innings, no more than 3 earned runs).

Also, 13 of 14 hits tonight were singles. Got to go to the postgame.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Paulino flied out to center field

They said he checked his swing..... I don't know.

[otis89]

No walks, Marmol!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wilson walked

[Guest]

C'mon, Carlos.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-11 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 22-31 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TysonCBulls423]

99 from Marmol. You don't need that to get this guy out.

I'm guessing we might see something on this topic in the paper tomorow.........

1 out to go, Marmol.

Davis, pinch hitting for Armas, grounded into a FC, 5-4, Wilson out at second
