[otis89]

At least Lee can still play defense!

[Roast]

DERREK LEE

 

CARLOS MARMOL

 

ORGASM

[Outshined_One]

Carlos Zambrano approves!

[illiniguy]

Awesome play by Lee.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Derrek driving in runs with his glove.

[Little Slide Rooter]

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE

[Butterscup1679666578]

Thank god your D isnt slumping Derrek.

[ChiCubsFan]

I don't like pulling Marquis here. The quick hook is gonna have our bullpen shot by mid-August. Piniella keeps complaining about his starters, but it's his own doing.

 

Seriously?

 

Dead serious. Was his pitch count even at 85?

 

But he's Jason Marquis.

[TMan92]

Anybody out there want to bust Lee's ball any more. Great play.

[ArthurVandalay]

Nice Lee.

 

Haha, Z.

[BigSlick]

Lee showing some range

 

at least his defense hasn't slumped that much, bad pick yesterday notwithstanding

[CubsGM]

Derrek did something!

[Fred Hornkohl]

He a cancer survivor?

[splintersag]

Zambrano likes what he's seeing.

89. I doubt Marquis would have gone past the 7th even if had pitched the rest of the inning.

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

 

I mentioned it earlier. It's sick and really bothering me.

But he's Jason Marquis.

 

And it's early June, and he was pitching well before giving up two baserunners.

 

And it's Carlos Marmol, the guy we need to not have 100 appearances on his arm going into October.

We got 6.1 innings from Marquis and the bullpen is rested. It was a very smart move with a day off tomorrow.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 34-1 when they lead after 7 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TMan92]

Anybody out there want to bust Kruk's ball any more. Great play.

 

He a cancer survivor?

 

Fixed :)

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Bullpen wear is often cumulative across an entire season. A day off isn't gonna change the fact that Marmol is on pace to enter the playoffs with 85 games under his belt already.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hopefully, Lou can trust Howry with Berroa, pitchers spot, and Pierre next inning and send in Wood to slam the door.

 

Of course, theres also the off chance that we get some more runs. and theres the off chance that I win the lottery.
