6/19 Cubs (Gallagher) @ Rays (Shields) 6:10 CSN

[Little Slide Rooter]

2 innings for Marmol, then over to Shammy McShammerson.

[UMFan83]

Haha I love how the bottom of the order spends 20 minutes building up a huge rally, and then the 3-4 hitters end it in a span of 2 minutes.

[rawaction]

I hate when guys go 3-4, but the one time they get out is with runners in scoring position. Why can't you save hits?

[Butterscup1679666578]

holy fontenot. nice!

 

Oh no. You've joined the dark side.

 

not at all. he's easily my second most hated cub. maybe even first now that marquis is pitching well lately. i've got no problem cheering for him though in that 1 AB a month he does something good.

 

no, i meant your sig

 

haha, oh. soccer? i've liked soccer for awhile. moreso the international game because i don't understand clubs and leagues at all.

...or transpose them

[UMFan83]

You really shouldn't be allowed to be a pitcher named Balfour.

 

You might as well be a goalie named Steve Puckgoesin or a placekicker named John Shankedit.

 

I wonder how many hitters former reliever Eric Plunk, erm, plunked in his career.

 

Not sure but Bob Walk had 642 BBs in his career.

Or how many Homers Homer Baily serves up in his career.

[BCVM22]

Do we get shutdown Marmol or 1-0, 2-0, 3-1, he walked him Marmol?

[PrimeTime]

Godddd I hate that boots with the fur song

[C.C.]

DLEE has been awful

That's a case where it's a great name for a power hitter, but really bad for a pitcher.

Strange. Ramirez has had a good season. Derrek Lee had an amazing April, but the Cubs would be nowhere without the Fukudome, Soto, Derosa in the bottom half of the order (where they've been most of the year)

[BCVM22]

Well, that answers my question.

[PrimeTime]

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[C.C.]

Yup, we got shaky Marmol, AWEOSME

 

He hasn't pitched since Sunday, he's going to be rusty.

[BCVM22]

Bugger.

[BigSlick]

bah, shaky marmol

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Damnit. I hate lead-off walks.

[Schwarber Fan]

Anyone else think Howry pitches the 8th?

 

I hope not

[TysonCBulls423]

One thing I like about the Devil Rays is their music.

[tenritsu]

Let's not be cute guys.

[BigSlick]

Hey Marmol, throw strikes

[Little Slide Rooter]

I repeat: These guys DO NOT swing at anything outside the strike zone.
