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

[Derwood]

ho-hum first inning

[Little Slide Rooter]

Looks like the Brewers will win again. 6-3 on a Kendall 2 RBI single.

 

Only 7 more consecutive games vs. last place teams for the Brewers after today.

 

As long as we keep winning, what they do doesn't matter.

 

Padding leads are good, especially when the Brewers have series with the Nats and then the Padres coming right up.

Their bullpen still has to pitch, right?

[UMFan83]

Rickie Weeks' typical second half surge is right no cue. .278 .376 .443 .819 in his last 23 games. Not great, but better than the .207 he was hitting before this streak.

[Careless]

lucky.

[kujay]

That ball rolled all the way down the line and barely missed the bag. Man.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Damnit Soriano!

[kujay]

I can't believe Len is lamenting the lack of run support for Marquis.

 

Nice one Sori.

[PrimeTime]

LOL Soriano

[David]

I'm just posting because the next one after this will be 9000.

[Careless]

He's graceful.

Suddenly don't feel so special about approaching 1000.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Marquis followed a six pitch inning with a 21 pitch inning...but still no damage.

[kujay]

Good job by Marquis there to pitch around Fonzie's shenanigans.

Description of Fonzie's shenanigans?

Is the wind blowing in today?

That's a pace of 108 pitches through 8. :shock:

[kujay]

Description of Fonzie's shenanigans?

 

He misplaced a liner right at him and it went over his head for the double.

[Careless]

Description of Fonzie's shenanigans?

Not a good read on a well hit ball, made a little hop as it sailed over his glove. Reminded me of ballet.

[kujay]

Is the wind blowing in today?

 

Len said 6mph from the east, so I guess that is a slight breeze in from right.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ramirez pops out to RF.

[kujay]

Looked like he flipped his bat out into the infield.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Edmonds doubles to RF.
