8/21 Cubs (Marquis) at Giants (Lincecum) 9:15 PM CT, CSN

[UMFan83]

Lincecum is a very very good player

[Omar]

Tip your cap.

[E.J.]

Let's all pray Lincecum pulls an oblique muscle or something. It's our only hope.

And when is Fontenot going back to AAA?

 

He needed to go a couple of weeks ago. This beyond just being a slump for the Little Lord.

[hawkeyecub]

So not only is Lincecum going to pitch a perfect game, but because of the Cubs impatient style, he is going going to record a strikeout, screwing over my fantasy team.

 

I don't blame them for any impatience. Up until the Fontenot AB, Lincecum was just pumping laser-beam straight fastballs in the strike zone pitch after pitch.

 

I don't think they swung at any bad pitches and if he's throwing nothing but strikes and consistently starting you off with fastballs thigh-high catching a fat part of the plate, swing at them.

 

I think we'll start getting him the 2nd time through the order unless he starts mixing in more offspeed stuff to get us off balance.

[FloridaCubbie]

at least the no hitter is still intact for Marquis.

[soccer10k]

Holy crap the bottom of the second was quick.

[hawkeyecub]

If Marquis can consistently find that sinker he had that inning (particularly against Lincecum) he'll have a good night.

[Alfonso Soriano]

Knowing our luck he will throw a no-hitter only to have us lose 1-0

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We're going to lose in less than 2 hours at this rate.

[FloridaCubbie]

I think it'd be hilarious(ly depressing) If we could lose 1-0 without allowing a hit.

[Soul]

Glad DeRo got that hit because otherwise we're likely watching from the wrong end of history.

[E.J.]

Yeah, we're screwed. Lincecum is looking dominant.

[pitchcs]

Lincecum is sick as hell tonight. I actually feel bad for our hitters.

[Soul]

Well at least I'll get to bed at a decent hour.

[cubweiser03]

Lincencum is a hot dog.

Marquis is pitching giants will score more than 1

[FloridaCubbie]

Ok time for positive thoughts.

 

After 6 yuenglings had previously, this miller high life tastes almost as good.

 

 

Marquis has a no hitter.

 

 

anything else?

[rickrolled]

that's the weakest hit ever

Not anymore. :wink:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

He hit that a mile....but just foul.

[hawkeyecub]

Glad DeRo got that hit because otherwise we're likely watching from the wrong end of history.

 

We'll see. I think he's getting too predictable and if he misses his location at all we can jump on him. This lineup can hit a righthanded fastball in the zone, even a good one like Tim's. But he's not keeping our hitters off balance or getting them to chase much.

[hawkeyecub]

And the Cards just tied the Marlins 2-2 in the 8th with a man on 3rd and 2 outs.

 

Hanley made a two-out error to keep the inning alive. Apparently Benitez did something to him that Buck is freaking out about.
