Martin's moustache is disgusting.

[JimSorgi]

I'm so unexcited. btw, I haven't been watching, how many times have they mentioned that the Cubs haven't won the World Series since 1908?

OMG 1908!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Outshined_One]

Marquis is having himself a pseudo-perfect game so far.

[17 Seconds]

If we lose a game 2-1 with Marquis starting I'm going to flip out.

[illiniguy]

Whoa we are in a championship drought? That is earth shattering news.

[otis89]

Can we get this Marquis more often, please?

What's different about Marquis tonight?

 

"He's scared for his job"

 

fixed.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

That's always been the problem with Marquis. If he throws strikes and doesn't walk people, he has good enough stuff to be a pretty decent pitcher.

 

Take tonight for example.

[CubColtPacer]

This is a completely different Marquis then we've seen even in his good outings so far this year. This is more like Marquis last year on one of his good days. How many balls have the Dodgers gotten solid contact on? 1? 2? Somewhere around that. His pitches are in the zone and have better movement then we've seen out of him at any point this year.

[CubsGM]

When did the 2007 Chicago Cubs move to Los Angeles?

[otis89]

Soriano! Good start to the inning!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano doubled to down the left field line

[Butterscup1679666578]

Sorianooooooooo

[CubsGM]

Come on DeRo

[otis89]

DeRosa is the man! 2-1!

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa doubled to down the right field line , Soriano scored

[Butterscup1679666578]

very nice! let's keep it rolling!

[illiniguy]

There we go. Keep it moving Lee.

[Roast]

DeRosa > your teams 2nd baseman.

[Outshined_One]

Keep it up, guys!
