6/15 Cubs (Lilly) @ Blue Jays (Litsch) 12:07CT WGN TV/Radio

[UMFan83]

Loaded for Howard after an Utley HBP

[Ski]

I love how the count should be 1-2 right now.

[BleacherBadger]

damn Sox just tied it up with Colorado.

[TMan92]

Even though Marmol is being overused, I still love watching him pitch,

 

And is having him face one batter that bad? One swing of he bat, and the blue jays are back in it.

 

That is what is causing this. I just wish one of our not-as-good relievers could just come in and not have to give up a ton of hits.

[RynoRules]

Worst in-game manager in the league, hands down.

 

Not even close to being true.

[illiniguy]

I love how the count should be 1-2 right now.

Not in Canada.

[Butterscup1679666578]

whew. now bring in wuertz or howry.

[Roast]

that better be the last of marmol today

[Butterscup1679666578]

2 run single by howard, 5-3 now.

they don't.

[WilcoFan]

Marmol had already been warming up when the tying runs were on last inning. Pitching him for one or two hitters makes no difference. Get over it and quit crying every time he comes in.

Good, got out of it. Now let's just hope Lou doesn't use him for the 8th.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Good job by Marmol. You cant trust just anyone with 2 out and a 6 run lead.

[RynoRules]

5-3

[TMan92]

5-3 on a two run single by Howard in STL

[Roast]

damn Sox just tied it up with Colorado.

Remind me why I should care about a team in the other league and a team in the western division again?

[UMFan83]

C'mon Burrell. At least get a sac fly to make it a 1 run game here.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 38-1 when they lead after 7 innings

CUBS are 9-0 when they lead by 6 runs or more at the end of 7 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ski]

5-3

I thought we had 7 runs? :wink:

[NYF]

Worst in-game manager in the league, hands down.

 

second behind The Dude, but you're close...

[RynoRules]

I know this is old news, by why does Gibbons bat Rios leadoff?

[UMFan83]

Wow McClellen in to pitch in the 5th inning. Must be their Marmol
