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

[Choonch]

Good job, Kosuke.

[E.J.]

Backe should get a nice cheer from the Cubs' fans. :lol:

[Careless]

15 baserunners in 3.1. ouch

[TruffleShuffle]

oh, cecil cooper finally woke up.

[kujay]

New lamb for Astros. Tim Byrdak, meet GEOVANY SOTO!

[erik316wttn]

Len and Bob said that every Cub in the lineup has scored. Is that true? Pat and Ron say Soto hasn't yet.

[Soul]

100 pitches in 3.1

 

 

OhhhHoHoHo.

[Billy_Buck]

Bases juiced again.

 

Cooper is just hanging Backe out to dry.

 

It's actually quite amazing. He's just sticking the knife in and turning it. "Here's the best offense in the league. Get some outs or suffer."

 

And more runs!

Backe : Cooper :: Marquis : LaRussa

 

Shame. I really thought Backe could've gone one more here.

Yes, at least according to Gameday.

Soto scored on Soriano's homer.

[Little Slide Rooter]

What the hell is he whining about? Sometime, him and Hawk should get together and talk about how umps are the root of all evil.

[Derwood]

that's right brian, it's all the umps fault

[inari]

Nice work Geo.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Soto with the sac fly. 11-4.

[E.J.]

Bah. I wanted a grand slam there.

[TruffleShuffle]

2.65 ERA with a 1.47 WHIP... that is some kind of magic trick, byrdak.

[UMFan83]

The only thing that scares me is, that if the conditions are ripe for the Cubs to score 11 runs, they might be ripe for the other team to match.

[Little Slide Rooter]

7 run lead. Surely Marquis can hang on to that, right?

[Choonch]

Very comforting to see the Cubs add to the lead. That always makes me feel better.

[Sorianos hop]

Great job team!

[Soul]

If Marquis can't win with this, then take your pick of our minor league starters 'cuz any one of them would be better.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Im not so much worried about the conditions as I am about the guy on the mound.

[rocket]

the cubs need to pitch rich harden for 1 out here to get him a win to "catch up" to what his win total should be.
