4/5 Astros (Oswalt) at The Losers (Marquis), Noon CT, CSN

This is going over well Lou.

 

Anyone else think the only reason he made the rotation is because of his complaining in the media during spring?

No I think he made it because we are the Cubs and this is how we do things. Just ask Shawn Estes, Jason Bere, Steve Trachsel, etc.

[Bixby]

Trade him

[Guest]

Marquis for MVP! Who needs that bum Lieber when we've got an ace right here?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Loretta singled to center field , Tejada scored, Wigginton to second

[CubmanPi]

over/under on how many IP marquis will have this year before he logs his first scoreless inning?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I hate it when we lose to the [expletive] Astros. :x

 

You mean the "home team", no?

 

Don't remind me... :x

He'll toss one next inning just to tease us.

[weis21]

Can marquis give up a hit to one of the worst hitters in baseball?

[UMFan83]

Oh I get it, Marquis was working so hard to not suck in the second half that he forgot how to be good in the first half.

[UMFan83]

Who would be our long reliever today with Lieber going 2 yesterday?

 

Hart?

[Guest]

Hey our defense saves the day!

[C.C.]

If he gets outta here with 1 run. He's lucky.

[Outshined_One]

Now watch Oswalt help his own cause!

if you keep getting yourself into jams, you might as well keep getting double plays too.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ausmus grounded into a DP, 1-6-3, Loretta out at second, Wigginton to third

[weis21]

Bailed out by a catcher that should have been cut years ago

[CubmanPi]

Just because you follow it up by starting a 1-6-3 doesn't mean you can give up a run every effing inning, bonehead.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Nice. Marquis needs to shape up. The Cubs offense has proven that their not going to allow him to make many mistakes. The hole may very well already be deep enough.

Ausmus, why would that guy ever play on a team with Towles?

[Guest]

Hey Marquis, let's walk the pitcher. That'll really intimidate the Astros.

Over. Easy.

[UMFan83]

Why are you nibbling at the corners against the pitcher?

[BigSlick]

Stop looking for Jon Lieber he wouldn't be any better than Marquis

[C.C.]

We are lucky it's just 2-0. Hopefully our offense will wake up!!!!!!!11
