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

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS' first triple of the year !!

[Guest]

Get him home Cubs.

 

They'll get him back behind home very quickly.

[rawaction]

Soto could easily be hitting like .700 with 5 HRs. He's hit the ball that well.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot flied out to center field , Soto holding third

[weis21]

Len says Ryan has no problem batting anywhere. How about Iowa Len?

[Outshined_One]

Thanks, Scrappy.

I'd take Sean Gallagher over Jason Marquis.

 

Heck, I'd even take Les Walrond over Jason Marquis at this point.

 

Let's not get carried away here! :lol:

[weis21]

Marquis is a much better hitter than Theriot, he should have been hitting 8th.

[hawkcub]

At least Marquis can hit.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marquis doubled to right field , Soto scored

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Good job, Marqueef!

[Garage Party]

Nice hit, Marquis! Well played.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Marquis > Soriano, Ramirez, Theriot.

[Guest]

Holy Batman, Marquis. Maybe that's our new PH!

[weis21]

Marquis for SS!

[illiniguy]

Thanks, Scrappy.

Oh well it really isn't a good year unless you give yourself a huge hole to come out of anyways.

[Outshined_One]

That was impressive.

[Guest]

Soriano suffering from a case of the ARam (not hussling).

[rawaction]

Jason Marquis is a better hitter than Theriot.....I'm not being facetious either.

Marquis settle down and don't give up a run.

[illiniguy]

Jason Marquis is a better hitter than Theriot.....I'm not being facetious either.

Theriot is easily the 4th best hitter out of our pitchers.

Marquis Wood and Z are all a lot better.

Soriano looked slow there. I really thought he'd be faster when we signed him.

 

Oh well 1-19 now (.052) and his one hit was a little bloop hit.

[BigSlick]

Yeah with Soriano's speed I'm pretty surprised he didn't make it in time, oh well.
