[YearofDaCubs]

Outside or Wright and Reyes, the Mets lineup sort of blows.

Delgado has been bad this year.

[TMan92]

Hey, you can't complain any time we win when Marquis pitches. Go Mets!

 

When all was said and done, Marquis pitched pretty well.

[TruffleShuffle]

i'd say that lucky marquis showed up tonight, but at least we won

[Mizzou]

Very well deserved win for Marquis.

 

Now let's go Mets!

[badger1679666666]

YES! Go for the series win tomorrow. I have a feeling Ram has off tomorrow.

 

Series tie minimum. It's a 4 game series.

[chuckywang]

CUBS are 50-12 when they outhit the opponents.... 2-26 when they get outhit.... and 3-9 when the hits are even

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

Hmm.....get more hits and there's a good chance for a win?

They have "old pee hands" as well. Is Moises 50 yet?

he's come around in july. Alou is also a very good hitter when he's not playing for the cubs.

[Omar]

I have no idea what to expect from Marquis anymore.

 

He had a QS against the best offense in the NL. I'll give him credit for that.

[inari]

YES! Go for the series win tomorrow. I have a feeling Ram has off tomorrow.

 

Series tie minimum. It's a 4 game series.

 

He had off fairly recently, so I don't think so.

[Prior4CyYoung]

any idea why Beltran is sitting on the bench?

[TMan92]

Reyes walks with two outs.

[rickrolled]

any idea why Beltran is sitting on the bench?

[cubweiser03]

15 day DL

[TMan92]

He is hurt.

[TMan92]

Good time for Castillo to slap one down the line.

[CubsNSkers07]

Sadly they wanted the brewers to have a chance.

[Prior4CyYoung]

ahh I just opened up the cbs game tracker and it showed him on the bench so I assumed he was either hurt or just taking the day off didn't know which one it was though.

[YearofDaCubs]

He is hurt.

Strained oblique

[TMan92]

Cordero is focusing majorly on Reyes. Throw up a meatball please...

[Prior4CyYoung]

Castillo flied out to left.

[CubsNSkers07]

It's crazy how a guy can time after time attempt to keep jose reyes close and yet he still steals the bag no matter how many times you throw over.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

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.

 

This is the winning post of the Kyle Farnsworth autoed card. PM your address and I'll get it out to you.

Since I am without cable and internet at home at the moment (I'm at work now), I'm glad to see the Cubs won.

 

Would I be correct in assuming Marquis got a little lucky today in giving up 8 hits and 3 walks but only allowing three runs? How did he look?

 

Also, another great job by the pen.

he was actually quite unlucky. the first run was the result of some soft singles that found holes, the second was a result of a high fly by Iguchi that Jones lost sight of, and the third came on a dinger by Burrell when the pitch before very well could have been called strike three.

 

he got away with a couple pitches, but also struck out Howard and got Rowand to gidp to get out of a couple of jams.

 

it wasn't a great performance, but it wasn't like that game in Milwaukee really either.
