6/21 White Sox (Contreras) at Cubs (Marquis) 12:05 WGN

[Careless]

I vote for another 9 run inning

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Another run!

 

11-5!

 

This is fun.

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa singled to left center field , D Lee scored, Edmonds to second

[BCVM22]

Does that count as an insurance run?

[BigSlick]

Was that stat they just showed the list of teams with the most 5-run innings in the majors?

Hahahah, I can't believe the Cubs have 15 innings of 5 runs or more

[Friendly Confines]

man DeRo...can't even hit a homerun

[Brock]

SD is paying him around 8 million and the Cards are paying him around 2 million.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Lets put er out of reach here Geo.

[Butterscup1679666578]

SIT MARMOL DOWN MY GOD.

 

Normally, yes, but he's coming off his worst outing as a reliever. I don't have a problem with putting him out there just to let him remember that he's damn good.

 

Perhaps. I'd rather wait an inning or two though, incase Marquis or someone gets in trouble.

[erik316wttn]

We're about due for a Sotobomb.

[splintersag]

Yeah, so hopefully Marmol's down warming up now, right?

[Guest]

DeRo!

 

Time for a Sotobomb.

[BCVM22]

Soto hit that ball hard.

[illiniguy]

How does one catch a ball while falling to their ass?

[Butterscup1679666578]

not a good game for geo. good thing the rest of the team is doing ok ;)

Does that count as an insurance run?

 

 

Excessive insurance, yes.

[Guest]

Did they just say that Edmonds is getting a pro-rated league minimum salary this year??

 

That's from the Cubs, I believe. He's still getting paid by both San Diego and St. Louis, if I'm not mistaken.

 

For clarification from Cots:

 

# signed as a free agent 5/14/08 (Chicago pays pro-rated portion of $0.39M ML minimum - about $0.29M - with SD paying about $5.71M and St. Louis paying $2M)

# SD requested release waivers 5/9/08

[splintersag]

Ooooh, I thought that certainly would've been an RBI single.

Next thing we know Len is going to be telling us to get our pets neutered and spayed

If love to see Marquis make it through this one. with Wise, probably Thome, and Cabrera coming up, theres a good chance.

Fred, Fonty's HR is missing from your list.

 

Rest of it looks great as always.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Awesome.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 39-1 when they lead after 6 innings
