5/19 Cubs (Lilly) @ Astros (Moehler) 6:05 PM ESPN/CSN

[Careless]

Why is Marmol warming up? lou doesn't want to pitch wood 4 innings in 5 days?

 

This is why.

Then he should have put in Eyre

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[Little Slide Rooter]

thank God.

[SouthSideRyan]

Those balls couldn't have been hit much more lightly. Those are tough luck hits, so get off Wuertz's back.

[17 Seconds]

How many times are we going to have to see Wuertz fail in the late innings while holding a small lead? He's a choke artist.

[CubsGM]

Why didn't we just bring Marmol out to begin the inning. Wuertz is awful

Yeah right, the Bourn single was a line drive on a terrible 0-2 pitch that was on a tee.

[AFCubsFan]

Cool. Back to back singles with the easy part of the 8th inning. It's better than back to back walks I guess. I'm happy the 3-4-5 hitters aren't coming up next.

[WilcoFan]

So you bring in the righty instead of the lefty and then go to marmol when 2 lefties get on?

 

I'm pretty sure Matsui is a switch hitter.

ESPN: "By the way....we just wanted to remind you guys that a Red Sox pitcher threw a no-hitter!!! In other news, a New York Yankees player sneezed twice in succession today! Stay tuned for Baseball Tonight after this game to find out which Yankee it was." Edited May 20, 2008 by OleMissCub

The "This" thing has to stop. It's no longer funny, clever, or original. It's as bad as the green font thing.

[Careless]

BEcause our bullpen blows besides those 2

Wuertz has been very good for the past 2-3 weeks, and solid generally

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Well, Carlos is going to really earn his money here.

[WilcoFan]

Wuertz needs to go away. Or get good. Which would be a lot better.

[CubsGM]

Well, Carlos is going to really earn his money here.

He doesn't make much...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Matsui stole second base

[Mizzou]

Those balls couldn't have been hit much more lightly. Those are tough luck hits, so get off Wuertz's back.

Not to mention that prior to tonight, Wuertz had given up two baserunners in his last 7.2 innings pitched.

 

Uh oh, Lou's pissed!

[Butterscup1679666578]

are you freaking kidding me?

[Careless]

He was safe, lou. the tag wasn't down in time.

 

edit: I was wrong. He was nailed

The Astros baserunners are [expletive].

Yeah, we'll ignore that Wuertz has a better ERA than Wood.

[Little Slide Rooter]

the good news is, if Marmol can get out of this, the meat of the Astros lineup will be out of the way.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Of course it's Joe West.

[Jon]

That play wasn't even close.
