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

[illiniguy]

How many years you think Marquis has to pitch until he realizes the walk to Pence is why he always gets beat and left off post season rosters?

 

 

And at what point do we put Carlos Lee on his ass?

[ConstableRabbit]

Ron is so irritated.

"How do you throw a FASTBALL, DOWN the middle of the plate, with an 0-2 COUNT?"

[ChiCubsfan0502]

This whole thing with Carlos Lee is beyond ridiculous. However, the Cubs still pitch to him.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Im thinking we'll need at least 15 runs today. That or another pitcher.

[C.C.]

When will we learn not to pitch to Lee?

I've been requesting that for some time.

[UMFan83]

Berkman and Lee are a combined 31-70 (.442) lifetime against Marquis. What did we all expect?

[Mizzou]

Go to hell Marquis

[cubweiser03]

that strike 2 pitch should've been parked

Yeah and the next one was worse if you could believe it.

 

They should just walk lee all the time.

[Derwood]

I can't wait to hear Lou defend Marquis today

[Little Slide Rooter]

Especially looking at whose after him in the lineup. It makes no sense.

[bukie]

So, three straight fastballs to Lee...probably not a good plan.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Nice outside strike, ump.

[witty alias]

What is with Marquis that every time we get a run, he insists on giving it back? Please just walk Lee.

 

It's because Marquis is a bad pitcher. Meanwhile Sean Marshall is wasting away in the bullpen. Gaudin would also be a much better option, but I like him in the bullpen.

[PrimeTime]

Marquis and Bob Howry need to get the hell off this team.

[Banedon]

Why didn't Derrek Lee tell Lou not to have Marquis pitch to C Lee there?

[WrigleyinEngland]

Hey [expletive] cubs when you gonna make someone else beat you?? things like that make you lose for 100 years braindead morons.......

[Derwood]

Why didn't Derrek Lee tell Lou not to have Marquis pitch to C Lee there?

 

=D>

[YearofDaCubs]

I HATE MARQUIS

[kujay]

But he's not getting any run support!

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Sometimes I wish we could just go to a 4-man rotation and win this effing division by 10 games already.

[WrigleyinEngland]

Hey take the piss at least we wouldn't of just given 5 runs up to el fatto in 2 games

[C.C.]

Sometimes I wish we could just go to a 4-man rotation and win this effing division by 10 games already.

 

And have 4 tired arms in the playoffs.

[UMFan83]

We really need to win this game. Can't go into the last leg of the homestand at 3-3 against the Cardinals who are playing well. Also, after that series we have to go into our house of horrors in Miami. Meanwhile, the Brewers are playing the Nationals and Padres. Not on the ledge yet, but on a scale of 1-10, I'm getting to about 3 on the worried scale.

[Careless]

Seriously. EVERY SERIES Carlos Lee murders the crap out of us. It's seriously unbelievable.

His OPS against us this year is only a 1.1 or so. 2006 was ugly.
