8/26 Cubs (Marquis) @ D'Backs (Petit?) 3:40 CST on Comcast

[IowaCubsFan]

What's this? A scoreless inning? Not possible.

[BigSlick]

Well, hell, we are up by 1 run and we do lead the league in one run games.. :)

 

This would be how a team outperforms a Pythag record by 20 games.

 

Insanity...anyone know what the record is?

 

Theres actually a really good article about how the Diamondbacks are "beating" their Pythagorean Record.

 

They really aren't "beating" anything, they just are really good but tend to lose in blowouts because of how bad the back end of their bullpen is.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

since signing with the cardinals, marquis has been a below average starter.

 

i didnt write that you fraud. I am not a marquis fan by any stretch but he isnt below average at all

 

 

OMG JACQUE!!!! WHAT A PLAY

Hey, where'd you get that pic of my sister??!

 

:lol:

[chuckywang]

Haha, nice.

 

Before that, when was the last time a Cub hit an inside-the-parker?

 

Didn't Eric Young do it back in 2001?

 

Corey did it in 2001.

 

I thought CP didn't come up until 2002.

 

it was his first home run, rainy night in milwaukee. i was there. we still lost though

 

It was actually his 2nd HR, and it came in 2000.

I'm pretty sure his ERA+ proves he's the definition of below average.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ok, we need to score Monroe from second.

[PrimeTime]

There you go CRAIG! Get him in!

[CubsBears29]

Monroe just barely misses a HR in first AB and 2Bs in 2nd... doable.

[TysonCBulls423]

Nice Monroe! Bring him home Fontenot!

There ya go, 2000 sounded better. Thanks.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ok...let's make this a rally!

[CubsBears29]

NICE take, Fonte.... CMON WHITEY!!!!

[CubsBears29]

Cruz warming up. Urgh.

[AlwaysaCub]

If blanco makes an out without a double play, do you pinch hit for Marquis? Will Lou?

[IowaCubsFan]

Come on Hank.

[TysonCBulls423]

Come on Hank White! NO GIDP!
