7/22 Cobs (Marquis) @ D-Backs (Petit) 8:40 PM CT WGN-TV

[swordsman]

Sorry this is so late. I guess we all could use a little decompression time after last nights "game".

 

Marquis ((6-5) 4.44 ERA 53 SO) vs. Petit (0-1) 3.06 ERA 11 SO

 

Go get 'em, boys.

[Derwood]

i'll probably skip this one in favor of a movie, which means they'll win 13-0

[Schwarber Fan]

If Petit throws strikes tonight, the D'Backs will win because the Cubs don't get any breaks on hard it balls, they are horrid on the road, and Marquis sucks.

 

Boy, I sure am optimistic! :)

Dear DLEE,

 

Please hit a HR.

 

Thanks,

CT

[CubColtPacer]

Marquis actually has excellent numbers against the Diamondback hitters, even after you factor in that Chris Young has hit 3 HR in 6 at-bats off of him. He has a decent shot of having another good outing tonight.

 

Petit doesn't have much of a history against this Cubs team. He pitched pretty well against the Cubs last year, but half of the lineup has changed since then.

[UMFan83]

Last night took quite a bit out of me. I'm such a drama queen...but I need to decompress tonight. I'll check to see who won in the morning.

[Sammy Sofa]

Either Marquis implodes with the Cubs finally scoring some runs and they lose something stupid like 9-6 or Marquis pitches another gem and they lose like last night. No in between.

[Little Slide Rooter]

While winning is fun, is it really as rewarding as spoon feeding a young pitcher his first win of the season?

[Mizzou]

If we lose tonight, our lead will be down to one game. Come on Marquis, don't suck tonight.

[CubsBears29]

Dear DLEE,

 

Please hit a HR.

 

Thanks,

Dear DLEE,

 

Please make one out, instead of two, in huge situations offensively.

 

Thanks,

How are they still called the "Cubs" in the title.

 

I am not even sure if they are worthy of "Cobs" at this point. One more loss and I would suggest them being called the "Losers"

They have been Cobbed. Id hold off on Losers for when(or if) they fall out of first.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm still trying to hang on to my optimism, but it's getting tougher by the day.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Still scratching my head over why someone disagreed w/ me in last night's game thread when I said the Cubs suck on the road.. Anywho, will people please stop assuming that the division is somehow gonna fall into our laps? It'll make September a little less painful... I really miss the patient Cubs offense from the first 2 months (great job, btw, by Fred in showing us the numbers)

[erik316wttn]

I should start the next game thread if they lose. I was the starter during that 9-game win streak.

I swear, every time they are on WGN Marquis is pitching. I want to see Harden or Z! I'm tired of having to follow them pitching through Gameday Audio.

No MLB Extra Innings? Free Preview is still on.

I moved a little while ago and I have EI with Digital Cable. The problem is only the regular cable is working, not the upper channels that require the digital aspect. And I am too busy (lazy) to call them and get it fixed even though I'm paying for it.

 

I suck.

[killthegoat06]

Dear Cobs,

 

Please stop sucking.

 

Kthx,

Goat

[Billy_Buck]

It's a new day, I suspect the sun will be shining brightly on the Cubs. Unless they close the roof, in which case, not so much.

 

Time to shake off the shackles of mediocrity and return to April-May form. Go Cubs!

You should probably just call them. I'm guessing it won't take much of your time and they can probably fix the problem over the phone by just resetting your box.

I guess I was just under the assumption they'd have to come out and do one of those "I will be there between 8 AM to Noon" things which drive me insane.

Nah. They should probably be able to just send a signal to your box remotely. Shouldn't need to send anyone out, unless there's something actually wrong with your box, but I doubt it.

[TysonCBulls423]

Cmon this game needs to start already.

[salukifudd]

Cmon this game needs to start already.

 

The late games on the west coast are killing me, especially when the game goes like last night and I wake up at 4 still grinding my teeth mad.
