7/17 CUBS (Marshall) vs. Giants (Zito), 7:05 PM CT, CSN

[cubweiser03]

well poop. kinda weird losing.

[badger1679666666]

Why does this team stink so bad vs. lefties. I just don't get it.

 

Well at least we only see 2 more in our next 11 or so games I believ.

[Sarcastic]

Cubs lose. Oh well. There will be more.

[TysonCBulls423]

Brewers announcers seemed relieved.

[JGalt73]

Who knows what would have happened anyway, but leaving a shaky Marmol in for a 2nd inning instead of PH for him was not a good move.

[TMan92]

Very bad start to the Jason Kendall era. Oh well. We got the studs going the next two days.

[rickrolled]

Ehh, just not a good offensive effort and bad bullpen work in the 8th. If we can win the next two it's all good.

[E.J.]

I haven't been watching the game thread, so I don't know if it's been said, but Lou shouldn't have let Marmol go back out there for the 2nd inning. It was pretty obvious that he didn't have his control tonight. Petrick should have been brought in that inning. Oh, and Ohman sucks.

 

Can't win them all though. Hopefully Z pitches well tomorrow and we get right back on track.

What are the chances Kendall will start the day game tomorrow?

I think it's critical because I see the first game of the Dbacks series as a throw away.

[jjgman21]

me thinks Jason Kendall needs to reassess wearing the sunglasses visor at night.

 

short hop - excusable

 

not knowing the ball was popped up - not so much

 

 

 

 

crappy game, gotsta get the next two.

[TMan92]

Hope that Zito pitches this well in Milwaukee, but they kill lefties..unlike us.

[Soriano12]

Did the Cubs re-aquirre Barrett? Who was that behind the plate tonight?

[TruffleShuffle]

cubs lost? season is over.

[Omar]

Cubs beat themselves tonight.

 

Not catching throws, locating pop-ups, walking the bases loaded, not cleanly handling a fair ball...

 

If there's one guy that'll make you forget about the previous day, it's Z. Get the win tomorrow. Win the series Thursday.

You can see it as whatever you like. It is one game, and the DBacks really aren't any good. Check out their stats. Luckiest team in baseball.

Lou has a little Dusty syndrome and it has to stop. you can't trust only a couple of the guys in your pen, especially if you're carrying 12 catchers, and Lou better lighten Marmol's workload before he blows out his arm. I don't mind more than one inning outtings, but not so often with a guy you run out there every other day.

 

Petrick should have come in as the first reliever out of the pen and pitched one inning, then been pinch hit for. if you won't trust a guy to get Barry Zito, Dave Roberts, and Omar Vizquel out, then just go with 11 pitchers.

[Omar]

Lou says Kendall will have the day off tomorrow.

[TMan92]

Brewers pen shuts them down. 4.5 back. That team will not break....

check out the Cubs stats against Brandon Webb and the recent performances of Jason Marquis.

4 1/2 BACK NOW

[98navigator]

Oh well, come back and get them tomorrow and the next day. ;)

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

[Alfonso Soriano]

Guys we cant win em all.

LOL, what? They are the same team that's 4-6 in their last 10.
