6/26 Orioles (Liz) vs Cubs (Marquis) 1:20PM WGN

[Little Slide Rooter]

On SportsNite last on (Comcast SportsNet), they said Kosuke won't play today. Take it for what it's worth.

 

Go Cubs!

 

Hopefully he'll be available to pinch hit if needed.

Maybe the Orioles can take Fontenot back to Baltimore after this game.

[Skyballer]

Yay, the mighty midget gets a start.

 

Disclaimer: I am not calling Fontenot mighty nor do I believe Fontenot is anything more than a back up. But I still like him.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So why is Murton getting the Hoffpauir treatment here? Not that Im a hugeMurton fan, but id rather him than Fontenot or Cedeno. I know they want E-Patt in there to lead off, but why not try him at 2nd for a game and put Murt in left?

People besides Z need to wear the blue alternates from time to time.

[JoshiQ]

Every single game I get to watch on TV it seems that Marquis is always pitching. :banghead:

[JoshiQ]

I just realized I am now one post away from 2000. And it's only taken me nearly 5 years to do it.

[salukifudd]

well...this is my birthday game...

 

don't spoil MY day cubs!

 

Happy Birthday

[OleMissCub]

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Easy first out. Let's get 26 more just like that one!

[JoshiQ]

Roberts goes down!

 

2000th post and it's about Brian Roberts, of course

[haubrich91]

Marquis looking good.

[Flames24Rulz]

Marquis makes quick work of Cintron.

[JoshiQ]

Thanks, Cintron.

[CubColtPacer]

Marquis just needs to keep his composure today. With the wind, he's probably going to give up a HR or two and probably 3-4 runs. He just needs to try not to be perfect, keep throwing strikes, and trust his offense to score more then that.

[Flames24Rulz]

Good start for Marquis.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wow...impressive first by Marquis.

[JoshiQ]

That was one of the most awkward infield pop-up catches I've ever seen.

[PrimeTime]

I don't like him, but that is a good start

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Let's start this early today!

Runs! Runs! Runs!

[BigSlick]

Anytime you want to take Patterson out of the lead off spot is cool with me

[inari]

I can't decide if I like Eric Patterson or not.

[haubrich91]

First pitch swingin'.
