9/21 - Pirates (Maholm) vs. Cubs (Marquis) - CSN 1:20

[Roast]

Good gravy, Bay has KILLED Marquis.

 

Yea he has, but Im pretty surprised at the rest of the team. Marquis has dominated Pitts lineup outside of Bay and Izturis(ha).

 

With Wilson out of the lineup, I could see Izturis being one of those little rat bastard ex Cubs to come back to get us.

I really can't imagine he'd be any more harmful to the Cubs than he already has been. Not that I care to see him try or anything.

 

Lenny Harris anyone?

[David]

Can't bring in Veres to face Lowell instead of Guthrie. Dude, they got Lennie Harris on the bench.

[weis21]

What's the over/under on how many amazing, diving, over the shoulder, up against the ivy, game saving catches Nyjer Morgan will make against us?

 

Sign me as one who has grown tried of seeing the opposition make their defensive plays of the year vs the Cubs.

 

Carl Ravech: Here's a new one for us at Baseball Tonight! The Pittsburgh Pirates it seems have the top 8 web gems for the day!

 

John Kruk: (stupid comment)

 

Steve Phillips: (stutters...then stupid comment)

[gflore34]

Maybe, its all the coffee I've had this morning talking but, I believe the Cubs are going to knock the snot out of the Bucos this weekend.

[Soul]

Maholm's having himself a real marginal season. Last time out it looks like he gave up 10 ER. I guess in August he was O.K. But it looks like they skipped him a few times through -- no starts between Aug 28 and Sept 16.

 

As you can tell I don't know much about what is happening in Pitt. Just looking through the game log.

 

Enough of this madness. Yes, he's a freaking lefty. He's not that good. Beat this guy.

[aerosmith21]

So if cubs win every series the rest of the way out and go 6-3 that means brewers have to go 9-2 to win and 8-3 the rest of the season to tie rite?

Our offense always sucks! Was that the Mark Prior 16K's game?

One of them was. But we had already screwed the pooch pretty bad by that point.

Looking back on those games, I almost forgot how much of the fault for the Cubs collapse Austin Kearns was. Look at this

 

Game 3 of the series (9/29/04):

-Game tied 1-1 in the third, bases loaded and 2 outs for Sosa. Sosa just misses a grand slam by inches as Austin Kearns makes a leaping catch against the vines to rob Sosa of at least a double and the Cubs of at least 2 runs.

-Cubs up 2-1 in the bottom of the 9th and 2 outs. Runner on third. Austin Kearns hits a double to score the tying run.

-Top of the 12th still 2-2, Austin Kearns hits a game winning 2 run home run.

 

Game 4 of the series (9/30/04):

-Top of the 7th, Cubs up 1-0 with 2 outs. Austin Kearns hits a game tying HR

God, that was a miserable game. I was following it on Gamecast in the library (MLB TV wasn't working for me that day for some reason, making me all the more frustrated/furious).

I saw the score of this game in the bottom of the 8th in the news studio here (it's really hard to believe I've been here that long) and reached new levels of pissed off that we wasted such a ridiculously good game from Prior. It might be the best one he's ever pitched.

Man, stop talking about it! Let's think good thoughts, not relive the nightmare that was September 2004.

Fred, I'm not sure where, but you goofed somewhere on this. Cubs.com has said that if a one-game playoff is necessary, Marquis will start it, and he won't be starting games on back-to-back days.

It certainly doesn't hurt that the Reds will be Griffeyless.
