Ugh.

 

Come on Marmol.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Lets hang on to this one for Big Z.

[illiniguy]

How Cub like is it to move guys into different positions to play a terrible hitter. Just play Murton, Fontenot is terrible.

Time for Lou to ask Fontenot if he had a nice apt. in Des Moines.

Fred, when was the last time the Cubs had a higher P/PA than the other team. This never happens.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-0 when they lead after 7 innings

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch, Pie in at cf for the CUBS

[Andy]

Feel the rhythm!

 

Feel the ride!

 

Get ready Chicago!

 

IT'S MARMOL TIME!

Chavez flied out to right field Edited April 22, 2008 by Fred Hornkohl

[Coach C]

*Whew*

 

I think my heart just skipped a beat there....

[weatherdood]

That was a little too close for my liking.... Seriously, Endy Chavez?

[SouthSideRyan]

I hate pointless double switching. I mean, yeah it's great to get Fontenot out of there, and to get Pie's defense in there, so I guess I'm not really talking about this move.

 

But it annoys me when you're bringing in a guy who is clearly only going to pitch 1 inning, yet for some reason you feel the need to put him due up 9th in the next inning. Who cares??? You're not trying to get multiple innings out of him, so what does it matter if he leads off next inning?

[haubrich91]

That scared me.

 

I then remembered who hit it.

[CubsGM]

Any other season that is a home run.

[Coach C]

Sit down!

[SABR Gamer]

I'm just happy Fontenot didn't wait a month to start sucking this year, so hopefully they will ship him to IOWA.

[weatherdood]

Wicked!

[SouthSideRyan]

Filthy.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Anderson, pinch hitting for Sanchez, called out on strikes

[Flames24Rulz]

What a nasty pitch.

[haubrich91]

I <3 Marmol's slider!

[Andy]

Hahahaha, horrible calls DO go both ways.
