8/18 Cardinals (Reyes) @ Cubs (Marshall) 2:55 FOX

[Andy]

So if the game is called right now, do we get the win, or did they change that rule... i can't remember

After 4 1/2 it's official if the home team is winning, no matter what. The only way it'd be 'delayed' is if STL took the lead in the top of an inning without us getting an inning to take it back.

Marshall's trying pretty hard to blow this.

Christ, STOP SAYING Ah-Ram-Miss Ramirez.

 

Pronounce his name friggin' right.

Jon Miller will tomorrow night, and he'll add his own flair to anyone with a remotely Latin-sounding name too.

 

I hate when he does that.

 

True, but people always complained about how he pronounced Perez, but he pronounced it correctly.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, crap.

 

DP, plz.

[Outshined_One]

Wow, he started to take his base before the ball even got into Kendall's mitt.

[da bears]

another double play please juan.

[CubsBears29]

I hate Poo-holes with such a passion.

 

Smug bassturd.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Looks like Marmol is coming in.

[Sosa21MVP]

Who is coming in?

:roll:

 

He was pitching to one of the top 5 hitters in the game.

[inari]

Wow. Can't say I was expecting that to be it.

[98navigator]

Ah, okay thanks.

Like many Cubs pitchers, he seems to find it more sporting to spot the batter 2-3 balls before trying to get him out.

[UMFan83]

Well 4 innings from the bullpen today. Z better conserve pitches tomorrow. Looks like Marmol, Wuertz, Howry, Dempster (3rd day in a row)

[Mizzou]

Why is he taking him out so early? He's only at 70 pitches and hasn't pitched that poorly.

[badger1679666666]

Since when did teh Farns start wearing glasses?

If Pujols was the only one he did that to today your point would be stronger.

[Outshined_One]

The trainer and Uncle Larry haven't been out to chat with him. Maybe Lou thinks this game is going to be rain-shortened?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Jussssst a bit outside.

Marmol, Wood, Howry Dempster.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marmol looks rusty.

[Sosa21MVP]

Hooray for falling behind batters!

He pitched solid but not great up to that point today.
