04/24 CUBS (Marquis) @ Colorado (Cook) 2:05pm CDT, WGN TV

[Roast]

If we can pull this game out we could have a 3 game lead in the division heading into DC while Milwaukee would have to play florida who has been scoring a lot recently.

 

I like it! For some reason I don't feel good about todays game. Although, I felt the same thing last night.

Going into the series i felt better about todays game than yesterdays but, i don't know - today isn't feeling promising.

 

And why the hell is len singing again?

[OleMissCub]

Yes. Len just went there.

[C.C.]

Cooks on a roll now. Hopefully we can hold'em today.

I never feel good about facing the former Expos on the road. We always played like crap in Montreal.

 

Anyone remember back around 93 when someone got plunked in the face up in Montreal? I remember watching it on TV and the just seeing the trainers sprint out and put towels on his face. Wish I could remember more details...

[UMFan83]

This is not like the Cubs to have been retired 10 straight times. Just not our day offensively so far.

[Guest]

Cook is cruising right now.

[Roast]

Such a boring game.

 

Hopefully marquis can not get nailed this inning hten the top of our order can come up and do some damage next inning.

[CubsGM]

Rockies have their top of the order coming up.

I smell 2-4 runs coming.

[abuck1220]

hey marquis, how about not swinging at 2-0 pitches that are out of the strike zone?

[C.C.]

This is not like the Cubs to have been retired 10 straight times. Just not our day offensively so far.

 

And they aren't taking a lot of pitches. They are making it way too easy for Cook right now.

9-1-2 with 1 and 2 being Podsednik and Barmes? Not too worried. Although it is Marquis pitching...

Slap in the face. The St. Louis board of tourism buying time on WGN radio during a Cubs game.

 

Why, I may just fly down there and pee on the arch.

[Roast]

Hey theriot, lift some weights, stop throwing it half way to first.

[Banedon]

Ramirez must not have read all the "Cubs have patience" articles.

 

BB Totals so far this year:

 

Fukudome - 18

Soto - 13

Ramirez - 13

DeRosa - 11

Lee - 9

 

I realize. But Ramirez doesn't have that patience with him today. Maybe he'll find it later.

 

Aramis is now batting .333/.333/.667 when putting the first pitch in play this season.

 

How many AB's has he done that? 3?

[weatherdood]

If Marquis gets through this inning unscathed, I sense we'll do something in the 6th.

[OleMissCub]

I could sleep that soundly too if I was at this particular ballgame.

You would think the Bowling Hall of Fame would be able to sell itself.

Lou hinted during the pregame that he'd ride Marquis as long as he could today.

[Roast]

So who called podsednik being 4-4?

[CubsGM]

Podsednik only does well leading off.

3-3

[PrimeTime]

I rather have him beam posednik in the head and take a base than just give it to him

[Guest]

Scott Podsednik is 3-for-3 today.

[Banedon]

Just bean Podsednik and save the trouble.

[UMFan83]

Podsednik 4-4 this series jeez. He now has 7 hits on the year.
