8/7 Cubs (Marshall) @ Astros (Williams) 7:05 PM CSN

[Banedon]

Hi guys...sorry I'm late...please tell me someone has commented on Sean Marshall's inconsistency. Someone? Anyone?

 

You had to do that didn't you?

 

Honestly I'm just shocked no one beat me to it.

[Soul]

This reminds me so much of 04

 

Kind of opposite for me, though the results are looking the same.

[C.C.]

Marshall with a lead off dinger this inning.

 

and then he'll be ruled out for batting out of order

 

I'd still take it! At least I'd see a ball leaving the park.

[TruffleShuffle]

one of jock's best-hit balls all year

[illiniguy]

This reminds me so much of 04

 

the '04 team had a passable offense.

Yeah until the last two weeks. Remember all those 1-0 losses.

[E.J.]

That ball was crushed by Kendall.

[TMan92]

Marshall with a lead off dinger this inning.

 

and then he'll be ruled out for batting out of order

 

Pre-edit....I have been owned, like the Cubs offense.

[The Voice of Reason]

Reminds me of 1972 - 1983.

[Soul]

Corey Provis said the Brewers are winning but apparently the game is shut off from the rest of the internet.

 

They are winning. Runners 1st & 3rd for the Rockies though -- no outs.

[abuck1220]

for crying out loud, just hit a popfly to leftfield. even this team has 315 foot power.

Not when it counts.

Take heart. You're only 1 inning off, Sean will probably be leading off next inning assuming he doesn't implode and Epatt gets out here.

[TMan92]

You almost have to try to not homer in this park over two games.

[CubInOK]

Gameday keeps showing pitches right down the middle, but always going foul.

[abuck1220]

Gameday keeps showing pitches right down the middle, but always going foul.

 

those are called foul balls.

[Schwarber Fan]

Is it possible that since the Cubs suck against crappy pitchers that they will do well against Oswalt?

[Soul]

Epatt can't be ready for this, but that won't stop Cubdom from condemning him when he fails.

 

This sucks.

[illiniguy]

nice job woody. you owned our offense.

[E.J.]

Just have to tip your cap to Woody Williams. He pitched a heck of a game.

[cubbyvirus00]

Corey swings at the high heat.

[LetsPlayTwo]

No. It'll be great to see the Brewers build up their division lead today.

[CubmanPi]

Patterson strikes out chasing a high fastball. This game is de ja vu in more ways than one.

[Soul]

nice job woody. you owned our offense.

 

I wonder if he has to force himself to stop from laughing. "These guys are challenging for first place?"

 

Woody's definitely in the correct division to extend his career 5 years beyond what it should be, that's for sure.

[Sammy Sofa]

Patterson strikes out swinging for the 2nd time on a high fastball.

 

*Shudders*

yeah that inning he was pounding the strike zone... guys weren't swinging at junk, but they weren't putting good swings on hittable balls. Everybody sucks right now except for Theriot.
