Off topic, but I really miss those nameless home jerseys. I thought it was a good change when it was made in 05.

another single for cub-killer mclouth

dirty sanchez flies to murton, 1 down

How far behind the Brewers would the Cubs be if they had kept and continued to play Izturis?

 

Lou should be manager of the year based just on his insistance that Ceasar be dumped.

[UMFan83]

So looking at long relief options, who do we have? Is Gallagher on the team? I am sure it would be Hart though

[CUBZ99]

How long is Lou gonna stick with Marquis? He is definitely not overpowering today.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Maholm already at 48 pitches through 2.

I think Marshall would be available, wouldn't he?

[David]

Soto's got an arm.

[vj9999]

Nice try Soto.

doesn't matter who you put in, it's a very bad day to be a pitcher. Wind is blowing out at 20 mph; stick with Marquis as long as he's surviving

[Keener98]

Nice snap throw by Soto,

[TruffleShuffle]

ugh double for laroche, this blows

[anabiono]

geovany soto

Marquis throwing meat pitches out there. He's got nothing today.

[Banedon]

As long as we keep hitting Maholm harder than they are hitting Marquis, I say keep him in.

[Prior4CyYoung]

ok so we will need more than 5 runs today still.

[David]

Can we be this lucky? Is Soto as good as he's looked this year? Obviously, not as good as the numbers he's putting up right now, but in terms of being a catcher than can hit and field?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We better not blow this lead.

[E.J.]

Nice snap throw by Soto,

 

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a Cubs' catcher do that.

[TruffleShuffle]

ground out to second, 5-3 cobs

Then again....

[David]

5-4

[E.J.]

Great work Marquis.
