7/13 CUBS (Zambrano) vs. Astros (Jennings), 1:20 PM CT, CSN

Marmol stick to the fastball today.

[Bruno7481]

Juuuusssst a bit outside.

 

Beat ya..

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Palmeiro K's. One out.

[inari]

After 4 days off, the pen is rested. Why not pinch hit for Marmol there?

 

Eh, I agree with leaving him in. Four runs isn't impossible to come back from and Marmol is our best option on the mound. He also is a decent enough hitter.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Biggio grounds out to short.

 

2 out.

[BeerHere]

B.G.O.U.S.U.C.K.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That's nasty!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

gameday said in play, no out for biggio

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pence breaks his bat grounding out to Theriot.

 

Side retired. Mid 8, 4-0 Cubs.

[killthegoat06]

3 outs left! WHo's gonna pitch? Howry?

[BeerHere]

29.1 innings and 41K's for Marmol.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Marmol may never give up a hit for the rest of his career.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

that Marmol kid is alright

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Zambrano has now lowered his ERA to 3.83. First time all season it's been below 4.

[TruffleShuffle]

marmol is as close to automatic as anyone i can remember out of the cubs pen in recent years. Here's hoping that he stays on this roll.

[weis21]

gameday said in play, no out for biggio

 

from the sound of it gameday tacked on an extra day to the ASB

[TysonCBulls423]

I have a feeling Lee is just gonna let it all out this AB. Let's hope he can end this homer drought.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marmol has a filthy 0.92 ERA. He's K'd 41 in 29.1 IP and only walked 10. I've always dreamed of having a reliever that good.

[inari]

If the lead holds, Z will move to 11-7 in 20 starts. That's a decision in all but two starts. Wow!

[killthegoat06]

29.1 innings and 41K's for Marmol.

 

 

Holy crap/.

[BeerHere]

Has Biggio said that he's going to retire after this year? That move to call out Bagwell after hit 3,000 was perhaps the classiest move I've ever seen in professional baseball. Biggio is a class act.

[weis21]

3 outs left! WHo's gonna pitch? Howry?

 

if he does i'd have somebody ready in case the bob in pittsburgh shows up. he's been really shaky lately

And he costs a lot less than Howry, Eyre. Funny how that works. Pay attention Jim.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Soriano singles to right.

I'd rather see Weurtz.
