7/28 Cubs (Marshall) @ Reds (Harang) 6:10pm CT, Comcast

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow, the Cardinals fans think they have a chance at actually winning the division this year.

 

:lol:

 

...although, they play the Nationals and Pirates after the Brewers leave town.

 

:?

Dont they have the pads first?

 

no

[Transmogrified Tiger]

So how much do AAA players make? When a player gets called up to the big leagues, he gets a prorated portion of the major league minimum correct?

 

Yes, and after they get sent down they receive a higher minor league salary, if I'm not mistaken.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This is probably Marshall's last inning. I'd have liked to see him go deeper.

Nope. However, they go to Pittsburgh and Washington.

 

I dunno, the Cardinals could be 10 games out of 1st with 10 games left and I'd still be worried they'd somehow pull it off.

[TMan92]

I just wanted to stop by and state that Conine is really old.

[Sosa21MVP]

Awesome job Sean! 1-6-3 DP!

I hate having to cheer for them.

You gotta have hope if you are a team who is not quite sellers but not quite buyers. I seem to remember fans having hope into September that the Cubs would get hot and make a playoff run in 2005.

Pitch count at 98 for Marshall.

Gameday says 100.

2 pitches later, yes. :wink:

[JWCUB]

3-1 Cards mid 4. How demoralizing would it be for the Crew to get swept in this doubleheader? The first game had to really be tough. :P :P

I'd love for the Cardinals to perpetually be in that state so that they will never scrap the team, start over, and rebuild. Their pitching staff is a mess and everyone on the team is getting old and injured.

 

If they can stay that way for the rest of the century, all the better. :D

[JimSorgi]

Another great start for Marshall.

[Iceblink]

Sori fans.

[CyHawk_Cub]

It's been said by many, but I'll repeat it: if Sori could lay off the breaking pitches out of the zone, he'd be scary good...

[Illini Iceman]

Just got in and was very please when I checked the score. After reading the game thread yesterday after the loss I was almost convinced this was an automatic loss the way people were talking about Harang like he was unbeatable and just hoping to avoid a sweep.

[Skyballer]

Another great start for Marshall.

beat me to it.

[Iceblink]

Fly out for Theriot. 2 down.

Harang left with an injury or this could be closer.

[CraziCub]

DLee grounds out to end the inning.

Happily, his stuff was terrible in the inning he pitched and he had to leave with back pain.
