7/20 Rattlesnakes (Webb) @ Chicago Cubs (Marquis), 1:20pm CT

If the choice is between Marquis and Dempster, I'll go with Marquis.

 

Seconded. I have confidence in Demp, but he's sure to be rusty. I want to get him in with a few runs to spare.

Pagan out at second on Moore's FC. Mooregoes to second on a throwing error by Drew. 1 out.

 

Whatever works to get scoring position.

Lee Smith is impossible to comprehend.

 

A conversation between him and an excited Soriano would be fun to hear.

Is Drew pretty bad defensively? He already has 2 errors in this game.

Kendall's first hit as a Cub couldn't come at a better time.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Lee Smith's voice reminds me of Eddie Murphy doing Sherman Klump.

[Choonch]

An insurance run here would be HUGE.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Kendall grounds out 6-3. Moore to third.

[TysonCBulls423]

bummer.

Lee Smith might be Sherman Klump.

[Brian]

would have liked a PH here

[Transmogrified Tiger]

short bench, let Marquis hit

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marquis grounds out to end the 7th.

[shnsajax]

Have we had any "speed kills" references today?

Lee Smith's voice reminds me of Eddie Murphy doing Sherman Klump.

Yes, that's it! I knew he sounded like someone, but I just couldn't place it.

 

Thank God this inning is over. Now we can listen to people who know the English language.

Marquis out for the 8th :?

[GlassCow]

That's one of the few times I'm happy to see the offense go quickly and quietly. Smith was getting on my nerves. Sounded like Dusty Baker on speed.

[Warren Brusstar]

I've been on the JJ bandwagon. He got alot of undeserved blame for the team's early season struggles.

The blame never was put squarely on Jones shoulders but let's not forget how bad he was until recently. I'm glad to see him doing good though for a couple of reasons.

 

Not the least of which is that he's the only CF in the organization that is likely in the second half to post an OPS v. RHP of > .800.

[Sarcastic]

Marquis out for the 8th :?

 

Not good. They need to pull him after the first baserunner.

[inari]

Hey look, it's Ryan Theriot before there was Ryan Theriot.

[C.C.]

Marquis out for the 8th :?

 

Not good. They need to pull him after the first baserunner.

 

That and I won't to see Howry in the 9th.

[moorecg]

Webb gone...that is good.

If Jones can be productive and put up similar numbers like last year against righties it would be hard to beat in CF. I'm also not opposed to Pie being called up and Jones traded but if I had to choose between the two it would be a productive Jones for this year.

Montero is a good young catcher.
