Re: 5/25 Cubs (Lilly) @ Pirates (Maholm) 12:35 PM WGN

That changeup was like a video game pitch.

[illiniguy]

The Brewers just scored 6 in the 6th inning to tie it in Washington. The NL Central is pissing me off.

 

The Brewers are 6 games behind the Cubs.

 

Cubs were 8.5 behind the Brewers last June.

 

It's a good thing that the Brewers rotation is held together by bits of string then.

 

A Brewers fan I know was saying to me last night that McClung will be a solid number 2 or 3 starter. :roll:

Why not, Todd Wellemeyer is dealing. Oh I guess because the Crew doesn't have birds on the bat.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Lets see if the wonder boy can get us some insurance.

Somebody tell Theriot it's legal to hit the ball to left field.

So is the Cardinals, but it doesn't seem to stop them.

 

You're not even making sense with your incessant devil's advocacy anymore. The Brewers aren't getting fluky performances, that's why they're at the bottom of the division right now. If Sheets doesn't hold up the entire year, they may finish 4th or 5th.

Theriot 3 for his last 23, all singles

Marmol is going to have to be perfect as he fills in for the Sham Closer.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Just slam the door Marmol. Show Lou what a closers supposed to do.

[genbar]

Close this one up, Marmol.

[TruffleShuffle]

if marmol finishes off this save, budhouse will never let us hear the end of it.

[UMFan83]

C'mon don't hit the first batter.

 

Oh wait..

6-5 astros after a burrell homer...this is what is supposed to be done against Chris sampson.

[otis89]

1 down!

[illiniguy]

Don't let this get to McClouth.

Once their offense cools off their pitching is going to be exposed badly.

sampson is so bad that he's giving up home runs after being lifted from the game!

Yeah it's not like he is pitching against the Cubs.

[BCVM22]

Come on, Marmol.

[PrimeTime]

The radar just said 100 mph

Now 2nd, 3rd, no outs...top 6

[SABR Gamer]

100 MPH? Really?

[17 Seconds]

Walk off Rivas?

[Guest]

Don't let this get to McClouth.

 

Unfortunately the Cubs will have to deal with the power of Luis Rivas first.

Marmol should pitch every inning of every game for the rest of the year.
