6/8 Cubs (Marquis) @ Dodgers (Penny), 7:05 PM, ESPN

[Little Slide Rooter]

For some reason, I get the feling were going either have one of those games where we forget how to play baseball all together, or have one of offensive outbursts we havnt seen in a while. No in between.

This is going to be nationaly televised and he's going to get rocked..I don't see him getting out of the rotation. I'm really hoping for an injury..A tear or fracture of some kind in his arm or leg tonight would be awsome

Agreed. I can't believe someone would spell Nationally and awesome wrong.

[bcruise]

Remember that winning thing you were doing about a week ago? That was fun, let's do it again.

I wasn't being all the way serious..I just want him out of the rotation. He's my most hated Cub of all time.

[Bote McBoteface]

Worse than Todd Hundley?

[PrimeTime]

Worse than Todd Hundley?

 

Yes. Just looking at him pisses me off. Just like how some have that hatred for Edmonds, Fontenot or Theriot.

[BigSlick]

I have no shame in saying I sort of root for an injury to get Marquis out of the rotation. I don't know about a tear or something like that, maybe something minor that gets him out of it for a couple weeks and someone is called up and actually does something

[CubColtPacer]

DeRosa makes it up to the 2 spot for the first time this season as Theriot gets a day off:

Good lineup, nice to see Theriot get a day off.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I would like to see Cedeno in the lineup more in the next few weeks just so we can get a better idea if he can actually be an important part of this team or if his hot streak was just a fluke. Im leaning toward the later, but who knows.

[Fred Hornkohl]
