9/26 Cubs (Marquis) @ Marlins (Barone) 6:05 CT CSN

Alfonso Soriano flies out to RF. One out.

[UMFan83]

BTW, anyone hoping for more Soto, I heard on ESPN 1000 about 25 minutes ago that Kendall would be getting pretty much all of the starts the rest of the season.

Dusty Baker got plastic surgery to look exactly like Lou. then he kidnapped and killed Lou and took over his identity, immediately divulging his plans to ESPN radio.

 

So that would explain why our SS is back in the 2 hole

[E.J.]

Come on Cobs. Hit the ball.

Exactly - he needs to display a little more grit from the 2-spot before Dusty can move him to third.

ugly swing

[UMFan83]

Hmmm, another great start against a scrubballer

Ryan Theriot strikes out swinging. Two outs.

[TruffleShuffle]

so this guy throws a straight 90 mph fastball and a mediocre breaking pitch... if we don't score some runs off him i'm gonna break something

[Brian]

well that was pathetic.

[killthegoat06]

SOLID

[CubmanPi]

I've seen this one already. Shouldn't they be showing tonight's game?

[E.J.]

Jesus. What a horrific first. Come on offense. That's pathetic.

[inari]

Please don't let this inning be indicative of what we're going to see tonight.

[Flames24Rulz]

Beautiful inning, boys.

[Schwarber Fan]

Derrek Lee grounds out, 1-3. Three outs.

 

Barone: 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 10 pitches (7 strikes).

[kente777]

I think we all agree that Soriano can swing at the first pitch anytime he wants, but does anyone know what Lee's average is when he swings at the first pitch? He's been pathetic.

I didn't realize it took him so many pitches.

[XZero771679666304]

Come on Marquis, doesn't look like you'll have much margin for error tonight.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That was a pitiful start.
