6/3 Mega Cubs (Marquis) @ Padres (Ledezma) 9:05 CSN

Piniella just can't resist changing pitchers 18 times a game.

If it's a close game and you're in the bullpen, a good manager changes pitchers as often as possible by definition

 

It's called playing the percentages. It's what good managers do.

So how does Marquis give up four runs this inning? Predictions?

 

Wuertz time.

 

I'm always in favor of letting the pitcher hit when you're going to pull him anyway.

 

I think we're a little short on the bench with Fukudome unavailable and 13 pitchers.

 

Miles claims Fukudome is available, didn't he?

 

He did.

 

Eyre better pitch the flippin 7th.

 

I think he will with Giles and Gonzalez both coming up. If he struggles and has runners on for Kouzmanoff though, I wouldn't put it past Lou to pull him then.

I know he sucked to start the year last year, but I like Scott Eyre (this is going to come back and bite me when he blow this three run lead)

Why isn't he in the game?

Spent the afternoon with his son and wife, who just arrived from Japan.

 

I wish Marquis' family would have arrived from Japan today.

 

And take him back to Japan.

Lee knew he got under it, but he missed one by a foot there.

I wish Marquis' plane would be shot down over the Sea of Japan.

 

Where it spun in.

 

And there were no survivors.

Ramirez kicks up chalk on a liner to left, double.

[17 Seconds]

Chalk explosion.

Ramirez kicks up chalk on a liner to left, double.

 

And by kicks up I mean sets off a chalk explosion. They may have used a bit too much chalk.

I was thinking Colonel Blake-style.

I like the Padres announcers a whole lot. They've been saying all night that Lou talks like Chief Wiggum.

[CubsGM]

ROFL!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Typical Cubs waste a double.

[BCVM22]

Bwaaaahahaha.

[17 Seconds]

Didn't that moustache picture come from somebody on this board?!?!

[CubsGM]

[BigSlick]

[CubsGM]

That was so my idea to knock out WGN out of their shirts and microphone. I win!
