9/11 Cubs (Marquis) @ Astros (Backe) 7:05 CSN

[Brian]

Carlos Lee hasn't hit his home run for the game yet, so if it gets to him that will be the game ender

[Omar]

11 lob, 2 dp's and a great catch by a mediocre left fielder... this game should be over already

 

"Tip your cap."

[BigSlick]

Wow, I'm looking over the play by play again, why the hell were we sacrificing so much.

 

God damnit, Lou.

If it wasn't for the Crawford Boxes, it would have been.

[CDBears1259]

Good start for Howdy.

[Brian]

If there is a top of the 10th, there better be a geo sighting

[UMFan83]

2 IP for Marmol and Howry? We can see Lou starting to freak out down the stretch and only go with relievers he fully trusts.

[Omar]

Another K. 2 down. 1 more to go.

[Mizzou]

Brad Lidge, LOL

[Outshined_One]

I'm thinking a Berkman walkoff is coming.

[cubweiser03]

great lidge is warming up

this will be a fun 10th if they can get there.

[Sammy Sofa]

Here comes the walkoff loss. What an awfully managed game by Lou.

 

- Marquis in too long.

- Bunting PIe

- Etc.

 

I agree with the 1st 2, but what's the "etc.?"

[Sammy Sofa]

*Phew*

 

Great work by Marmol and Howry tonight.

[SouthSideRyan]

Len and Bob LOVE name puns.

[Omar]

A Pierre. This inning is OVAH.

[genbar]

Nice job Howry_doin. Time to sco' some runZ.

[abuck1220]

interesting...derosa somehow grounded into a double play while fielding that groundball.

[UMFan83]

Jones, Kendall, PH due up....yay

[SouthSideRyan]

Efficient 2 innings by Howry throwing only 23 pitches.

[Brian]

Jacque is either going to go oppo for a homer, or K on three Lidge sliders in the dirt.

[E.J.]

great lidge is warming up

this will be a fun 10th if they can get there.

 

Murton will hit a pinch-hit homer. Book it.

 

He will then spend the next week and a half back on the bench.

Geovany Soto

[TruffleShuffle]

this would be such a cubbish loss... a combination of poor managing, inept situational hitting, and sticking with a lousy starting pitcher too long

[Mizzou]

What is our record in extra innings this year?
