8/31 Cubs (Marshall) V. Astros (WANDY) 1:20CT WGN

[Keener98]

Should have made that Trachsel trade in time for him to get to today's game...

 

Dont say that too loud, if Marshall sucks when he comes back out, it wouldnt surprise me if we just traded for a new 5th starter since hes a veteran.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

so the box score says 1 hit 1 run

i say marshall sucks today

[Banedon]

31 pitches for Marshall.

[CubmanPi]

3 walks, a double, a WP, and only 1ER. Next inning, they're going to chain him up and throw him in Lake Michigan, and he'll escape in less than 2 minutes.

[illiniguy]

Jesus, not a great start to the day. Marshall's control problems and the worst trade ever.

 

Hey who you got in the IL Mizzou game? Am I stupid for thinking U of I has a chance?

 

Yes.

Please, you guys aren't anything special.

 

And you guys are a bad football team.

We'll see. I bet we aren't in two years. Can you say the same?

 

Suddenly we're talking about the future, I thought we were talking about tomorrow's game.

 

I won't make any suggestions about 2 years from now. Lots of things can happen in that time period. I am excited that this series is back though, but I would prefer if we traded years at each others home fields.

I agree, I wish the basketball series would become competitve.

 

It's unfortunate Bruce can't recruit even though he's a great X's and O's coach. Maybe we can atleast get Darius Miller.

Bwhaha I have heard he all but eliminated us. Verdell Jones, maybe.

I would stop short of saying bad. Illinois is loaded with talent and that will be enough to keep us in most games.

[Keener98]

Damn, 31 pitches after one inning. We need starters to go deep from this point on, Marshall needs to freaking step it up.

 

Why is Soriano not starting today?

 

Resting his leg

planned off day.

[Keener98]

31 pitches for Marshall.

 

Hey he did better than Lilly!

[chuckywang]

It seems a lot of our starters struggle in the 1st inning, and then settle down afterwards. Hopefully Marshall does that today.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot popped out to second base

[Mizzou]

"Loaded with talent" and "keep us in games" don't go together.

I'm sorry, what?

[InconspicuousZ28]

And the Cobs are going to make sure to go quietly in the bottom of the first so as to not stir anything up.

[Banedon]

I bet Wandy doesn't need 31 pitches.
