Well that's the inning

 

Unless Kendall walks or is HBP, no way he does anything...

 

HOLY SH<<

 

crow never tasted so delicious

 

What's funny is I was just writing I agree Kendall sucks! I had to back space rather quickly...

 

Nah, he still sucks. Like Jacque, the sun has to shine on a dog's ass at least once in a while.

 

JJ is nowhere even CLOSE to as sucky as Kendall.

[CubmanPi]

Am I the only person happy that Blanco is in the minors? I don't want the guy hurt but I'm glad he's not on the 25 man.

 

Gun to your head, Blanco or Kendall...who do you choose?

Pull the trigger.

If Blanco is healthy and you guarantee Kendall won't figure out how a bat works, Blanco every time.

Marmol is just nasty man.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, WOW. That was a filthy slider.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Burrell called out on strikes

[Omar]

K looking!

[TruffleShuffle]

Let Marmol finish it off

 

no, i'd like to be able to use him later this series if necessary

I prefer the Blind Squirrel -> Nut euphemism.

 

Both Jacque and Jason are historically better 2nd half players so maybe just maybe Kendall can improve a bit. That knock might get him some confidence he needs.

 

No, Kendall and Jacque are the two worst hitters in the game. Don't let anyone tell you different.

[TMan92]

That slider is so unfair.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marmol is flithy!

[E.J.]

Charlie Marbles made Burrell look silly there.

That's insanity? We have a 4 run lead. Bring Howry or Wuertz in. Save the kids arm.

Offense: Blanco > Kendall >> Hill

Defense: Hill > Blanco >>> Kendall

 

Toss up.

[Prior4CyYoung]

crazy good slider there from Marmol to K Burrell.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wow....wow....this kid is awesome!

[bukie]

Hey Fred, you have stats on Kendall since he joined the Cubs? I'm curious if his OBP is over .300 yet.

Toss up.

If Kendall 2006 vs Blanco, I take Kendall. The past 2 weeks Kendall has done well offensively which is nice. Truth be told, I'd rather see Soto start but if Kendall can hit, I'm ok with that too.

I don't trust anyone else in the bullpen... but you're right - Wuertz hopefully comes in

[YearofDaCubs]

OMG Marmol!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Coste called out on strikes

[Omar]

Another K looking! Nasty slider.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Holy Sh---! Wow!

 

Marmol is nasty!

[Prior4CyYoung]

Marmol is cruising now.

[J.R.]

Yeah...I'm charter...maybe its a DirecTV/Charter difference..

 

As part of the compromise with MLB, DirecTV gets the Phillies and Padres feeds that are unavailable on the cableco EI packages.

 

That is really strange...Why Philly and the Padres?

 

Previously, Cox (San Diego) and Comcast (Philadelphia) wouldn't allow DBS or EI access to their in-house sports channels, primarily as a means of making DirecTV and Dish Network unattractive to fans in those cities. Without cable, you couldn't get the games.

 

In order to gain access to EI after DirecTV signed the exclusive agreement earlier this year, the cablecos made numerous concessions, including the release of these channels.
