Talk about pitcher abuse.

[radarluv1]

the cards pen has a bunch of guys that cant throw 2 days in a row, it seems. would've been nice to make them use a few of them a little earlier.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

[Fred Hornkohl]

Molina grounded out to third, 5-3

[17 Seconds]

So who pitches the 8th?

[chuckywang]

Why does it seem that every other pitcher in the majors has a hippy necklace?

[dag27]

Z is due for a dominant start. 6 IP (it'd be 7 if he wasn't just coming off the DL), 4 hits, 1 ER.

 

Cubs win 4-2.

 

Good call on Z's stats......just missed it.

[SouthSideRyan]

If Neal Cotts becomes a primary setup man we're gonna have some problems.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barton, pinch hitting for Looper, grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

[Guest]

Good play by Howry there.

[Guest]

So who pitches the 8th?

 

Bob-o, I hope.

[TMan92]

Howry HAS to pitch two innings tonight with Cotts around if needed. Marmol needs to come into a laugher at this point in time.

[chuckywang]

Ok, Lou. Moment of truth, who do you go to in the 8th? I'd still go with Marmol, but make it clear that he gets the quick hook at the first sign of trouble.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

My guess is Howry will also pitch the 8th.

[radarluv1]

i guess we could use cotts against Schu (L) and miles (S), then marmol for albert. Edited July 5, 2008 by radarluv1

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 43-1 when they lead after 7 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!
