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

[Slugger_16]

What the hell is going on? The music is creeping me out.

 

I feel like I'm watching 60 Minutes do a piece on Joe Torre, the mass murderer.

 

Doesn't get any better than the helmet falling out of Jones' hand, and Furcal "rolling" across the screen.

Doesn't get any better than the helmet falling out of Jones' hand, and Furcal "rolling" across the screen.

 

I liked it when he bunted the ball and it just fell straight down and then flew off the screen.

[rookiecmon]

Marquis is only hope today?

[BigSlick]

Only a matter of time before we touch Penny up with a few runs, he's not impressing anyone

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto grounded out to second, 4-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Edmonds walked

yeah i rewound just to watch that again. glad i'm not the only one amused by the cheesiness of the graphics in the story, or whatever it was.

[illiniguy]

Man I hope this isn't the real Soto.

[17 Seconds]

Yeah thanks for the reminder, ESPN.

[TruffleShuffle]

wait, the lakers are playing the celtics tonight???

[CubsGM]

STFU ESPN I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE NBA FINALS

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno struck out swinging

[Little Slide Rooter]

So the Dodgers were what, 3-12 before running into the "best team in baseball"?

The Cubs are dangerously close to not having anybody with an OPS over .900.

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah, we know you like the word veteran, lou

[CubsGM]

What's different about Marquis tonight?

 

"He's throwing strikes"

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ethier flied out to right field

[17 Seconds]

I'm calling a multiple walk inning for Marquis now that Lou just praised his strike throwing tonight.
