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

[TruffleShuffle]

good, i was worried we might make it through an inning without mentioning the yankees and red sox. it's gotta be the great veteran-youth mentoring relationship, not the massive payroll and resources.

Also noticed by going to the BR leaders page:

 

Theriot leads MLB in CS

 

Johnson is tied for 3rd in MLB in HBP

 

Theriot is 2nd in MLB in singles

[CubInOK]

You think if the Spurs and Pistons were playing in the finals that ESPN would have these "JAPAN SURRENDERS" game updates that they are rolling currently?

They would have more of them.

[Outshined_One]

Listening to this game makes me feel like I just woke up from a two day bender.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Loney walked , Martin to second

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[illiniguy]

Dammit Lou, why must you allow this to be a high leverage situation? Pull Marquis before that.

[CubsGM]

Lou went out there and ruined Marquis' momentum

[Little Slide Rooter]

Great job by Marquis when we needed him, but thank God Lou pulled him before it was too late.

[TruffleShuffle]

Announcers talking too much. Time for mute.

 

yeah and i'm surprised that it was jon miller who drove me to the mute button. when he started talking about how troy percival's veteran-ness was a big reason for the devil rays playing so well, i decided that was enough.

Yep. That veteran leadership has gone a long way to get the Yankees one game over .500 despite their ridiculous payroll. :lol:

[radarluv1]

gameday had at least 2 of those balls in the zone.

[Wolfgangbucks]

Pretty good game going on here................. maybe the announcers could talk a little about it?

[OleMissCub]

Was Jeff Kent just eating an ice cream bar?

 

:rotfl:

 

Looked like a powerbar.

 

It looked like it had a white middle sandwiched between two brownish/blackish pieces.

 

Marmel? Who's that, Gammons?

 

Just rewound it and looked at it, and it certainly looked like an ice cream sandwich. Powerbars don't have stuff coming out the sides.

that dunkin donuts commercial was [expletive].

 

im such a bitter old man.

[17 Seconds]

Time to get nasty Carlos.

[CubColtPacer]

Marquis got squeezed on two of those pitches on that walk.

 

With that being said, now is a good time to pull him. Don't let him groove one over to make sure he throws a strike to Kemp. He had a good outing..let him hopefully build on that before that's all forgotten with 2-3 bad batters.

Morgan was talking about Kent's veteran-ness over Ethier's newbness in the 1st inning.

Not so much....

Going off on a tangent here, but I haven't actually seen a Dunkin' Donuts store in a long time.

[radarluv1]

have you all been discussing russ martin's awful stache? i'm guessing he lost a bet.

[TruffleShuffle]

get that slider over the plate and kemp is screwed

[Little Slide Rooter]

I just walked back into the room to see a replay of last nights Kemp HR and almost smashed the TV thinkig it was happening now.

Just imagine a good commercial in it's place.
