8/16: Cubs (Marshall) @ Marlins (Sanchez) 6:10p CDT WGN

[Rob]

Great move. It's not like Ross murders lefties at a .278/.336/.556 clip this season (.292/.357/.608 career).

 

I'd have much rather we just attack Ramirez.

[C.C.]

Damn!!!

 

hold them here and we'll score a bunch.

[Derwood]

what a lame game thread. do people suddenly have lives or something?

[Hall7810]

Off-speed stuff is working brilliantly and he goes 1st pitch fastball.

[Guest]

That was a really bad pitch to Ross. Meh.

[E.J.]

Marshall has pitched well, but it looks like he's tiring. Also, what is with this lineup tonight? :lol:

Are you kidding me, you rather face Hanley Ramirez over Cody Ross? That's insane. I don't care if Ross is hitting 1.000 against lefties, you still don't let the other teams' best player (Ramirez) kill you. It was a good decision to pass on Ramirez to face Ross. It didn't work, so what....

After what he's done? No thanks, that was the right move, Ross #'s or not.

[Soul]

Can't believe we only got 3 hits off that guy with the lack of control he had early.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

He's bringing in the left hander when you have Kosuke(our best LH v. LHP) followed by probably 5 straight right handers? That's not the smartest idea.

[Hall7810]

Hendrickson, huh?

[RedFlash]

Can't believe we only got 3 hits off that guy with the lack of control he had early.

 

Something tells me that if Sanchez is still out there for the 6th, the

Cubs will get to him.

 

edit: I notice they brought in one of the goofiest throwing lefties in the game, but my point still stands...I think we take the lead very, very soon.

Mrs. Camden has smoked pot.

[Hall7810]

Nice that Treanor gets to call the strikes now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 60-26 when the opponent's starter pitches 6-1/3 inning or less.... 15-21 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 28-14 when they draw 5 BBs or more.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Mizzou]

Don't bother hustling to first or anything DeRosa, it's cool. Just assume you're going to be thrown out by a mile.

[Derwood]

CUBS are 28-14 when they draw 5 BBs or more.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

you'd think that record would be better

[SpongeWorthy]

Lots of bad swings from DeRo tonight.

[Mizzou]

Howry? Oh boy, here we go

[SpongeWorthy]

I think Howry's new first name is "The Struggling Bob."

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 28-14 when they draw 5 BBs or more.

No, I wouldn't

[Old Style]

Kerry has a nice sunburn going on.

Bob does not like the Marlins' mascot.
