Some Marlinsbaseball.com quotes:

 

What the hell, Fredi? Aramis Ramirez is a lot better than Lee with RISP.

 

Pinto still in. Gosh i love Fredi's decisions.

 

1. why the [expletive] was pinto in the game when all he faced was righties.

 

2. why the [expletive] is pinto still in the game

 

3. take pinto out of the [expletive] game

 

I love how Fredi just leaves him out there to burn.

 

Brenley is making fun of Fredi's decisions

 

 

How cute...they have a message board.

For anyone that doesn't know, that Brewer game is on TBS

Matt Kemp! Making up for his base running yesterday..

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS pitchers got 13 Ks in a game.... Sat 26 July 08 (20 Ks) in a 3-2 loss to Florida at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I don't know why everyone is ripping on that board....every team has dedicated fans, and while they don't go out to that muggy park, like people have pointed out they have one of the higher TV ratings in the MLB

I've been going to that board since 2004 off and on, they have some good fans there.

 

Wow Manny killed that ball..... 3-0 Dodgers.

Johnson singled to left field , Blanco to third

We're still worried about the Cardinals?

 

Cubs fans never stop being worried until there is an X next to the team's name

 

So you're worried about Dusty Baker's Reds? :?

DeRosa flied out to center field , Blanco scored

[Guest]

Amazega took an awkward, strange route. Yay, a run!

But it looks like she ran out of room, so there was a reason for the misspelling.

Last time the CUBS hit 6 doubles in a game.... Sat 31 May 08 (6 2b) in a 5-4 win over Colorado at Wrigley

If you are going to make a sign to rip on another teams fans, either make sure you spell it correctly, or don't make it at all.

Last time the CUBS hit 2 SF in a game.... Tue 05 Aug 08 (2 SF) in a 11-7 over Houston at Wrigley

 

 

GO CUBS !!

Amezaga really had some issues with the sun.

 

(I've smoked pot. :lol: )

[SpongeWorthy]

Can someone give me a definitive answer as to whether Mrs. Camden has in fact, smoked pot?

It's usually a good sign when your 7th inning PH has 3 plate appearances before the game is over.
