Hmm...well this isn't going to help Marquis' trade value.

But look at those IP numbers, he's a workhorse!

Time for a rally. Preferably the real kind.

[Schwarber Fan]

Thank you Hart

 

Oswalt is hittable today

 

Cmon Cubs

[weis21]

Gallaher, Hart, Lieber, or Marshall for fifth starter please.

Good Luck getting alot in return.

[dorjecub]

Don't worry we'll get 2 more runs!

[Omar]

Lieber.

Frankly, I'd take a pack of warm week-old hot dogs for Marquis at this point.

[Omar]

Should've went to third. Oh well.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'd like to see the Cubs bite the bullet and designate Marquis for assignment.

 

We have much better options in Lieber, Marshall, and Gallagher.

[SABR Gamer]

Gallaher, Hart, Lieber, or Marshall for fifth starter please.

 

Lieber.

3-3 Lee

[JimSorgi]

I've missed most of the game...how did Soto get a triple?

[weis21]

Thought he should have stretched that one to a triple, but I guess it's safer with a 3 run deficit. Let's go rammy!

[SABR Gamer]

Should've went to third. Oh well.

 

Should have been easily in at third.

That's a little silly. He's hovered around league average for some years now. Surely someone will overpay for that.

[JimSorgi]

I'm worried about Lee.

[weis21]

I've missed most of the game...how did Soto get a triple?

An act of God. Nah, bounced off wall and then maybe off Lee's foot? Anyways, it bounced about 20 feet towards center and Soto pulled that plow all the way to third.

[SABR Gamer]

I'm worried about Lee.

 

Yeah he doesn't look like he is over his wrist injury yet, and look at those spring training numbers!

[salukifudd]

Hit the ball into the outfield and then ran to third.

I'll take a PTBNL and have them take on $1 million of his salary. We'll pay the rest.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Remember when Ramirez opted out of his contract, and everyone thought he was gone for sure? Ah yes, those were the days.

[Outshined_One]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

I love Fukudome!!!!
