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

[brinoch]

Don't worry, everyone. Marqueef will give the lead right back in this inning.

 

I'd say this is prophetic, but it really wasn't a stretch to assume this would happen.

Other than jamming my computer up a couple of times, I've been pretty impressed with the Mosaic.

Len and Bob are very impressed with Erstad's baseball resume. Apparently it hasn't been updated since 2000.

Well he did throw a ball into centerfield that cost the cubs a run a few games ago, but his defense has been no worse than any other cub.

[BigSlick]

If Marquis goes another inning and gets a quality start, it would be one of the worst quality starts i've ever seen.

[weis21]

another 1-2-3 for Marquis.

 

I'm calling a hit in some form by Soriano this inning.

[C.C.]

C'mon O wake the hell up!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marquis grounded to third base , safe at second on a throwing error, E5

[cbbryan]

E on Wiggington........ Marquis to 2B. Now let's get him in to score, boys!

[Guest]

Marquis is one scary dude with a bat, apparently.
