06/29 CUBS (Marshall) @ white sox (who?) 7:05 CT, ESPN TV

[TruffleShuffle]

aram is really in the toilet right now

[inari]

Sigh.

[BigSlick]

jesus

 

And I thought Ramirez could just turn on those inside pitches and crush them

[Butterscup1679666578]

Seriously, is Aramis dumb? Can he not see all they are doing is pounding him inside? He should've adjusted to it by now.

[illiniguy]

Thanks for showing up this weekend Aramis.

[UMFan83]

Wow ARam. You are pretty worthless this series.

[bhogg]

can someone tell me if the Sox have made any kind of adjustments when pitching to Aramis Ramirez?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Is Miller channeling Hawk?

[17 Seconds]

Lee's back

 

OMGZ HE'S HAVING A BAD GAME THIS IS GARBAGE

 

BOOOOOOO THIS MANNN

[sherwood921]

How stupid is Joe Morgan? Really, how do you go calling the Sox pen one of the best ever half way through a season?

 

Marmol > Dotel

 

Wood = Fat boy

 

I wouldn't go so far as calling it one of the best ever, but I just checked out the numbers of their pen and it's definitely surprising.

 

Joe Morgan only reads into one aspect of analysis and repeats it all night long.

 

Dang it Rammy...Alexei has a cannon.

[Joe_Cub]

will lee and ramirez ever heat up at the same time?

[CubsGM]

Wow ARam. You are pretty worthless this series.

Welcome to my ignore list

[TruffleShuffle]

jesus

 

And I thought Ramirez could just turn on those inside pitches and crush them

 

he's struggling... i'm pretty sure this isn't an indication that aram cannot hit balls on the inner half.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

can someone tell me if the Sox have made any kind of adjustments when pitching to Aramis Ramirez?

 

Yeah, ESPN hasn't caught on to it yet.

[Schwarber Fan]

For the love of god DM, stop quoting that moron

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ascanio in to pitch for the CUBS

[jaydee]

do they not feed people in cuba?

[salukifudd]

Seriously, is Aramis dumb? Can he not see all they are doing is pounding him inside? He should've adjusted to it by now.

 

The worst part is Ozzie announced to the media how the Sox were going to pitch to ARam before the series started.

[ELCABALLO45]

Watching Scott Linebrink pitch makes me so mad as a Brewer fan.

 

And Alexi has a cannon

[Butterscup1679666578]

Ascanio!

[Schwarber Fan]

I really just want to explode with anger right now, but I don't wanna get banned

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierzynski grounded out to third, 5-3

[ChiCubsfan0502]

I'ts fairly obvious that if Ramirez does not hit, the Cubs do not win. He didn't hit in Tampa and now against the White Sox. Result= 0-6 record.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That will probably be the last inning for Marshall, and the last time we see him for a very long time, but aside from 1 bad pitch to a less than competant Brain Anderson, he has nothing to be ashamed of. In fact if nothing else, he might have made Jason Marquis a bit nervous.

 

one or both of the seans will probably get dealt by the deadline, so the rotation slot problem will probably get solved that way.

 

it will be interesting to see who loses their slot when z returns, though.

 

Maybe Marshall, but I cant see Gallagher going anywhere unless a top of the line starter comes in return.
