8/14: Cubs (Lilly) @ Braves (Glavine) 6:10p CDT CSN

[CubmanPi]

Braves still within grand slam range.

What is going on Lilly?

I seriously want him nowhere near the playoff rotation.

 

Z - Harden - Dempster. Repeat.

Get Gaudin/Marshall in there.

I'd be fine with that also, but I'm not sure Lou would be.

 

I haven't searched the board today - Has Lou named Marshall the starter on Sunday?

 

yes

Len and Bob said he'd be going Saturday, with Dempster getting an extra day and going Sunday.

 

Ah...I just saw the headline on cubs.com that said Marshall was starting and assumed it would be Sunday.

 

cubs.com article says sunday but cubs.com probable pitchers says saturday

[98navigator]

I think people were way too hard on Ted Lilly last inning.

 

Lilly's one of my favorite pitchers but it's hard not be to be frustrated when he creates his own drama with two outs.

 

DeRo, stop trying to pull that ball!

Lou said Marshall is going Saturday. Dempster has personal issues to attend to in FLA.

Leave him there, Theodore.

 

EDIT - gameday audio lag, run probably scored before I posted. Crap crap crap.

Yeah, 5 runs won't win this game. Lilly looks awful.

No but people saying he sucks and he shouldn't be in the playoff rotation.

[Little Slide Rooter]

This team should NOT be scoring runs Ted.

[Schwarber Fan]

Slugfest tonight, boys

[PrimeTime]

Keep throwing those 87 MPH fastballs. He's got nothing

[imb]

Lets put three or four more on the board and cruise. Would be 9 out of our last 11 heading into the florida series.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Ted is the momentum killer. :x

[illiniguy]

I like our chances in that type contest.

Yeah 9 out of 14 heading home isn't all that bad.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Is it me or is Lilly at his worst when he gets an early lead?

[Guest]

He's in the uppers 80s and topped out at 91.

[Andy]

Aramis the first Cub with 20 homers/30 doubles in 5 straight years since Hack Wilson...

[chuckywang]

Does Pat Hughes and Len Kasper have the same production notes or something? They always seem to be talking about the exact same thing at the exact same time.

Haha

 

and look at the sked after the fla. series, three at home vs. cincy, three at home against the nats, three on the road at pitt

 

we should take 6 or 7 of those too

[weatherdood]

Well done.

LOL, I think that's just game thread emotional craziness...

[Little Slide Rooter]

Offense: more runs please.

TLR: get your act together.

You really think we get swept in Fla?

After the showing Milwaukee just put up against some bottom feeders, I'm hoping for 8 in that stretch.
