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

[E.J.]

Fontenot in to randomly K

 

They might look similar, but that's Fuld.

 

Why they look similar? Cause they both white?

 

Well, that and they're both 5 feet tall. and lefty.

[C.C.]

I still don't understand why you take out Hart?

[inari]

Despite the apparently improvement from the first half to the second half, I still don't expect good things from Eyre.

[Omar]

Why are the fans so quiet? Feels like a road game.

I still don't understand why you take out Hart?

 

Neither do I.

[UMFan83]

Pie looking like his typical clueless self.

 

How many ABs has he had this month? 7? The Cubs ruined Pie's shot of being effective on offense when they decided to use him only as a defensive sub.

[E.J.]

Lou probably wants the lefty pitcher in to pitch to all these lefties the Pirates have at the top of their order.

[Schwarber Fan]

Marmol warming up

 

Morgan out 4-3

Cubs can't afford to wait for him to start hitting while in the thick of a race... Jones has been hitting.

I understand that, but Hart was effective and could have given another inning or two.

[UMFan83]

It's already the 6th? This is the quickest 7-7 game I've ever seen

[inari]

Come on Eyre, just finish this. You've got two outs, don't screw up.

I think it was a good move. Lou's managing this like a playoff game.

yeah, pie had his chance to be a regular player and put up a sparkling .600 OPS. Especially with the black hole at catcher, we couldn't afford another one at CF.

Doesn't matter. His approach is terrible.

Taking out an effective pitcher for Scott Eyre is not how a playoff game should be managed.

[C.C.]

Gotta love walks.

[E.J.]

Nice work by the bullpen so far. Runs please

[chuckywang]

Anytime the Cubs want to start hitting is fine by me.

[SouthSideRyan]

Scott Eyre his usual brilliant self. Thnx Scott!

[Soul]

Good Lord start scoring again kk?

[Faceman]

Thanks Marquis Thanks for a crap outing in your biggest start of the year. Get him out of there, when hes bad hes the worst pitchers in the league.

 

Classic Marquis today. Cards fans say they warned you he'd crap the bed when you need him most.

 

Hopefully you can overcome his turd of an outing.

If the ump calls a hbp on Fuld and Soriano hits a bomb it's brilliant. You have to do what you think is right and that's what he is doing.

hasn't his ERA been something ridiculously good in the second half?

Yeap. You can hear the Cards fans snickering off in the distance.
