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

[weis21]

The astros try their hardest to give the cubs a run and the cubs politely turn them down.

[BigSlick]

Honestly just forfeit the rest of the game, theres no reason to keep playing after that.

 

I don't even want them to win after that, Marquis has got to have placed a bet on the Astros or something.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

dang, thats like the first poor play Soto has made all year.

 

You've not been watching his defense have you?

OH yeah when our pitchers couldn't hold a single runner. Please. :glare:

 

and an error, and standing in the middle of the basepath before the ball gets there so he can get steamrolled by the runner and give up another run.

 

not to mention he hasn't been much more successful at throwing out runners than rubber arm kendall was last year.

 

but yeah, otherwise he's not made a bad play all year. ;)

 

And failing to get a windblown popup behind the plate.

[Old Style]

There is some good news. Super Bowl XX is being shown on the NFL Network right now. Bears are up 20-3.

Soriano is hitting fifty cents on the season.

[illiniguy]

One of these years we will accidentally have a team full of guys who actually excell at playing baseball. Fuku has to just laugh at the way some of these guys make pitiful mistakes left and right.

[Outshined_One]

Dangit Derrek.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Soriano is hitting fifty cents on the season.

 

I wish. Fukudome was hitting .50 going into the day. Soriano's down to a nickel.

[cbbryan]

Nice catch DLee.............. jesus!

[Andy]

Soriano is hitting fifty cents on the season.

.050 is a nickel. I'd be thrilled if he was hitting fifty cents.

[CubColtPacer]

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

 

Why? He's given up 7 baserunners in 5 innings, and has had only 1 hit that went for extra bases. That sounds about in the 2-3 run range normally.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Just think, if Soriano didn't have that bloop single a few days ago, he'd still be hitless on the season at 0-20.

Yeah, but his glove is irreplaceable in the outfield.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pence grounded to the catcher , safe at first on a fielding error, E3

[Outshined_One]

And now Marquis will implode.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I wish. Fukudome was hitting .50 going into the day. Soriano's down to a nickel.

 

 

Nope. You misunderstood how I value.

 

Fukudome is hitting 5 bucks going into the game. You couldn't get a coke with what Soriano is hitting.

[bcruise]

Marquis didn't even look at Quade, just took off.

Soto seemed kinda slow getting to that ball.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pence stole second base

[cbbryan]

Are we going to watch teams run all day on the Cubs all year?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And we give up another stolen base. I thought Soto was supposed to be better at throwing out runners than this!

[Guest]

Anyone else get nervous when Soto threw that ball? I was worried he was going to hit his hand on the bat.

[weis21]

I honestly cannot remember when the cubs threw out a runner trying to steal.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Erstad doubled to right center field , Pence scored

[cbbryan]

There's another run.
