Rammy 400ft rbi double

Nice work Aramis.

[WTFCUBS]

Someone needs to punch that kid in the stomach

[Banedon]

If anyone can put the Skip/Harry flubs on Youtube, I'd really love to see it.

[PrimeTime]

2 of my favorite sounds. Ball off the bat and pins shattering when ball hits for a strike

[Soul]

It's definitely time to rest a few guys.

Waking up to see the Cubs winning is very nice.

 

It's also nice to see them score immediately as well (I woke up for the start of the fifth).

Yup. Time for the trainer, the batboy, the clubhouse attendant, and the blonde in the 3rd row with the nice rack to play the rest of the game.

I said that earlier.How can that kid not run out of air or be tired shouting every 25 seconds. He really needs to get kicked in the head

the irabu one gets me every time

[CubColtPacer]

The main thing the Cubs need to do on offense for the rest of this one is continue to work the count. Nunez (the pitcher right now) is going to be out for the series as soon as he leaves this game. You'd like to make them have even bigger bullpen issues for tomorrow by the end of the 2 games today, and getting another reliever or two into the day game today could be huge for that.

I believe it's a girl.

I'm less worried with a 7-run lead, but if Marquis could stop putting the leadoff man on, that'd be great...

[cubbyvirus00]

it would be lovely if Fukudome can do something positive to finish this season.

 

Where would we be without Edmonds?

[BCVM22]

Bah.

[UMFan83]

8-2...

[Irrelevant Dude]

So much for taking one for the team. Way to kill the bullpen Marquis... Edited August 13, 2008 by Irrelevant Dude

Come on Jason, get out of this inning without giving up anymore.

 

ETA: Never mind. Gonna use the pen more than I'd like with a 6-run lead. Thanks, Marquis.

[PrimeTime]

Cotts coming in

[UMFan83]

Looks like we'll need 3 2/3 from the pen in game 1.

[BigSlick]

I just turned teh game on, but Marquis wasn't making anyone miss, that at bat with Casey Kotchman and Infante is telling

 

Did he look that way the whole time and get lucky or did he have them under control?

[BCVM22]

I hope to see this game end without at least two of the Shark-Marmol-Wood trio being used.

i'm pretty sure that he didn't take himself out of the game

A lot seemed to be bad.

Lou playing the "win the one you know you can win" strategy here. I'd rather keep Marquis in for the bottom of the order.
