8/6 Astros (Backe) @ Cubs (Marquis) - 1:20 WGN

[Sammy Sofa]

COME ON.

[Little Slide Rooter]

What the hell was that? Grand Slam in 5...4...3...2....

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That was ugly.

[erik316wttn]

This had better be Jason's last batter, regardless of the outcome.

[Sammy Sofa]

This game is going to kill me.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Finish Him...NOW

[Soul]

He's gonna give up runs.

[TruffleShuffle]

get your head out of your ass, theriot.

[cubbyvirus00]

[Sammy Sofa]

Praise Jeebuz.

[Derwood]

WHEW

[E.J.]

I hate the fact that a 5-run lead never feels safe with Marquis on the mound.

[inari]

"Little floater" always makes me think it's going to drop down. Thanks for the heart attack, Len.

[Soul]

Whew.

[St.Paul Cub]

I'm assuming since Marshall is the only lefty that Lou can trust they don't want to start him. Otherwise makes total sense to start Marshall. Heck I say let Lieber be #5 when he comes back. Heck maybe that's what Eyre and Howry need to do. Send them to the minors and stretch them out.

 

Just so sick of the Marquis DeSuck

Fixed.

[cubweiser03]

Whew!

Throw something in the dirt to pence damnit or at least down.

Little floater makes me think of something else which is probably appropriate since Marquis is pitching.

[C.C.]

We need more runs!

I was just going to say this :)

Lou seems to have complete faith in Cotts.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Are Cubs fans the only fans out there not comfortable with a 5 run lead?

 

I mean it still seems like a close one to me, especially with Marquis on the mound and an Astros team too dumb to realize theyre out of the race.

[SpongeWorthy]

those first two pitches Marquis threw to Pence that he swung and missed on were absolute cheese

 

really lucky he somehow totally whiffed

Thats more of a big, smelly toilet clogger.

Yes.
