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

[Soul]

On the bright side, Sean Marshall has been good.

 

I don't feel comfortable with only a 2 run lead on the road though.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Good job getting out of. Overall great outing by Marshall. Now lets get some more runs and hope our bullpen can pull it together.

Why do so many announcers call him Fukudomo?

[CubInOK]

Fukudomo will bat now.

I think we've blown more than one lead after 6, Fred.

[kujay]

Fukudomo, as Cards announcer just called him, needs to get it going...

no

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome, pinch hitting for Marshall, singled to left field

[kujay]

Why do so many announcers call him Fukudomo?

 

In this case, because they are old and senile...

 

Way to go Fuku, single to left.

[TMan92]

Way to go Kosuke.

[CubInOK]

Fukudomo singles. We've had a lot of baserunners today.

Really, Chip? The SI jinx? Thank God for Len and Bob.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson sacrificed, 3-4, Fukudome to second

[Soul]

Good bunt, not sure I like it though since Reed has 2 hits today against Welly.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 23-6 when they execute a sac bunt.... 29-29 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

The last day of Chip Caray doing Cubs games was a happy one for me. If his name was Chip Roberts, he would be cleaning toilets.

Perez is a power right hander, he's more likely to mow down Johnson, or worse, induce a double play ball. It was nicely placed and gave him a chance at a hit, so it's not too terrible a move.

Go CUBS !!

 

Cubs should bunt every time they get a guy on base.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 45-1 when they lead after 6 innings

 

I think we've blown more than one lead after 6, Fred.

 

Read it literally. 45-1 is correct.
