7/6 Cubs (Marshall) at Cards (Wellemeyer) 2:15 PM on TBS/CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ryan grounded out to second, 4-3 , Kennedy to third

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We need a strike out here.

[BCVM22]

Ha ha, Murton. Man, Adam Kennedy is the ruler of cheap doubles against us.

 

Every team needs a "b***h double"-hitting specialist. It's like how Julian Tavarez was the "late inning, go-ahead HR" specialist in the Cardinals bullpen when he was still there.

Poor decision on Murton's part. Should have played it on the hop.

 

This conversation makes me wish I was deaf. Mute button, meet TBS.

So the people in today's game thread are basically Fred and a bunch of 15 year olds. Awesome.

 

S S D D, no?

Huh?

Mather struck out swinging

It could be worse... you could be blacked out and forced to listen to the Cards' announcers.

Same Stuff Different Day.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Get the roider and get out of it.

[BCVM22]

Hell of a job by Marshall there.

He was awfully close though, and could've short hopped it if he just missed. Can't blame him either way, IMO.

 

Attaboy Marshall, way to bear down

They're not as bad as some I don't think. They've been very complimentary of the Cubs.

[Guest]

Mather K'd. But at least he tried. Maybe TLR and the club attendants can tip their caps.

 

YES, got out of it!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Nifty play by Lee there.

 

Let's add some runs against the Cardinals pen!

[Flames24Rulz]

Nicely done, Sean.

Makes me appreciate having CSN despite their almost daily technical difficulties.

Kind of hard not to be very complimentary of them though.

 

They're pretty rough in my opinion. And the whole split screen tennis coverage really irked me too.

Perez in to pitch for St. Louis

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa hit by pitch

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Marshall has really pitched well in his last two starts and against good teams to boot. He may have earned himself a permanent spot in the rotation.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

How coincidental that DeRosa is the one to get beaned when he finally leads off an inning.
