4/7 Cubs (Lilly) at Pirates (Gorzelanny), 12:30 PM CT, WGN

BASE HIT FUKU!

[Brian]

Kosuke is a stud.

[Rob]

nice work for the slider specialist.

 

Please get a run for Marmol to lock it down.

 

 

But everyone was bitching that lou should have used Marmol in the 6th. Wow Maybe Lou knows a little about this game!

 

If Marmol had come in during the 6th, we might have the lead right now.

 

FUKUDOME!!!

I believe it was 7-2 when Aramis threw wildly to 1B on what should have been the third out of the inning. The defensive lapses have been costly.

 

It wasn't that wild of a throw. It was pretty standard given the play.

I agree, in fact if you were to ask Lee I bet he would tell you he should have caught it.

[weatherdood]

FUKU!

 

Nice start

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That's a start...now let's score a freaking run!

[C.C.]

I think our offense is done for the day.

 

Pirates will win this one in regulation.

 

 

Wow, your glass has spilled!

 

My glass spilled permanently in the 2003 NLCS.

 

1984

 

I wasn't even 3 then. Thankfully I don't remember that disaster.

 

Consider yourself lucky.

[Andy]

Fukudome is so good. So, so good.

[Yanksfan1523]

Damn, He has been very good this season!

We wanted Marmol there because it was a bases loaded, no outs situation. In that situation, you put in your best reliever, closer status be damned.

[C.C.]

C'mon Dero! Make amends here.

or maybe had he used marmol in the sixth it'd still be 8-5.

No, it was wild because it pulled Lee way off the base instead of getting the out to end the inning. I'm not saying it was Cedeno wild...

[imb]

Man even Lee's mojo is gone. What a disastrous game. If we want to win the division we have to lock up these winnable games. I know it sounds obvious, but its apparently not obvious for the Cubs.

 

i just went over to baseball reference and you know what i was shocked to find out? No team that has started the season 3-4 has EVER made the playoffs. In fact, back in 1898, the Indianapolis Browns lost four out of their first seven games and the entire team died of polio. If we dont win this, we might as well start the countdown for football season.

 

No crap? Did they have trolls back in 1898 too?

 

I don't know. They probably did have short-sighted, overreacting fans, though.

 

"I say, Gaylord, old Tinkers just isn't swinging the lumber early in these baseball contests"

 

"Agreed, Jeremiah! He has the work ethic of one of my granddaddy's slaves!"

 

"Oh, Gaylord, you slay me. This Tinkers fellow doesn't care whether we win or lose! It's quite unfortunate! He probably just wants to mosey over to his shanty and count his thousands!"

[Derwood]

sac bunt? on the road? seriously?

[E.J.]

Ugh. Let the man try to steal the base. I'm tired of seeing the hit and run call.

[David]

haha I'm an IMB fan.

You suck DeRosa

[illiniguy]

Thanks for showing up today Mark.

[Derwood]

heck of a day DeRosa, heck of a day

[Andy]

Not the best day for Mark.

[E.J.]

Worthless. That was a terrible at-bat.
