[inari]

Why does Soriano make those stupid catchers like that? Use two hands, man. It hasn't cost him yet, but it will.

[mul21]

Is this ump really as bad as gameday is indicating?

Well, that was nice.

 

41 pitches for Marquis through 2. We're going to need at least 4 IP from the pen tonight.

[Soul]

Marquis is crap tonight.

 

This is so ludicrous. He's given up seeing eye ground balls.

 

I guess the haters will hate no matter what.

 

He's been shaky, you know that.

[cubbyvirus00]

cubs better keep scoring

is badger for wisconsin badgers?

 

Yes, because we're ignoring how good Marquis has been for most of his career.

 

Oh, wait.

 

No, he's not a good pitcher. But those ground balls were seeing eye. He isn't crap "tonight". That's my only point. That second hit looked like a tailor made DP ball. If he throws ground balls, I'm happy.

He's had some iffy calls, but it's mostly Marquis being Marquis.

[inari]

Well, that was nice.

 

41 pitches for Marquis through 2. We're going to need at least 4 IP from the pen tonight.

 

So are the Phillies, I'd guess. I think our bullpen is better, so that's always cool.

[ZFan38]

When did Jason Bay lose all of his talent?

 

I'm trying so hard to think of a joke about Canada...

 

haha thats almost as good as a joke itself to me

 

Hey we've produced some pretty good ball players considering how few people play baseball here .

He's been shaky, you know that.

 

He's been worse than shaky. My only point was tonight he's throwing ground balls. That's all.

Unfortunately their offense is better than ours, even sans Utley & Victorino...

[inari]

Jason Kendall just made Eaton look like a big leaguer.

[Sammy Sofa]

Kendall strikes out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kendall struck out swinging

[E.J.]

Having absolutely no offense from CF and C is going to catch up with us pretty soon.

[Sammy Sofa]

OK, I'm letting Fred take over the play by play.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marquis grounded out to second, 4-3

[badger1679666666]

Now Kendall is uttter crap all the time.

[inari]

I've got a bad feeling we're going to let Eaton settle in the same way we let that Reds pitcher from Sunday whose name I can't recall settle in.

[E.J.]

Lame

[Sammy Sofa]

Soriano strikes out. Eaton breezed through that inning. Marquis will now throw another 25 pitches.

[inari]

Yep, Eaton's going to settle in.
