[Little Slide Rooter]

Please dont kill this pen. thanks in advance.

[Fro]

Rich has 82 pitches through 7

 

 

Hmmmm, Len says 94. Game Day says 82

 

He had 82 through 6, 94 through 7.

[CubInOK]

Soto has 2 triples and an inside-the-park HR. Mr. 40-40, Soriano has neither.

Yea but we win a whole buncha more games when Soriano is in the lineup than when he isn't.

[Soul]

A 1-0 here would be the mot boring win of the year

 

still better than the most exciting loss

Yeah, although it's pretty fun to watch a pitcher like Harden have an outing like this one.

[kujay]

I'm not convinced 1 run will win this. I'm.......concerned.

 

I'm not any more concerned that I usually am with a one run lead in the 8th.

 

Which is to say I'm very concerned.

[Brian]

... 5 outs to go ...

[weatherdood]

Brewers leave 2 more on in the 6th.

 

Sheets done, Shouse in.

 

5-2 Astros in the 7th

[third eye]

I'm with Len. The Allstar outing has really helped Marmol's confidence. Nasty since then.

[weatherdood]

... 5 outs to go ...

 

Really??? You had to??

[rawaction]

Soto has 2 triples and an inside-the-park HR. Mr. 40-40, Soriano has neither.

Yea but we win a whole buncha more games when Soriano is in the lineup than when he isn't.

 

HA HA! I hope that never gets old.

 

That's sarcasm. It was old 2 hours ago.

[kujay]

Encarnacion would be tied for the team lead in HRs if he played for the Cubs.

[weatherdood]

CPatt is a very very very bad baseball player.

[Brian]

Babe Bako is all that stand between Marmol and a 1-2-3

[Alien11]

Marmol-aid!

[Soul]

Haha, it's fun to watch CPatt see Marmol's first slider, and then just give up and let the 2nd one go by.

[17 Seconds]

It doesn't get much nastier than Harden to Marmol to Wood.

[Schwarber Fan]

Corey was so fooled

[Deeg]

Harden as a Cub: 42.2-26-8-7-14-59.

[weatherdood]

Nicely done, Carlos.

 

How about a couple GEICO insurance runs

[haubrich91]

Marmol is amazing. What a game thus far!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That went well

[Fro]

I'm with Len. The Allstar outing has really helped Marmol's confidence. Nasty since then.

 

Reds announcers mentioned he hasn't allowed a run since the ASB break. :shock:

[Guest]

Good call, Lou, whether it works out or not.

 

BTW, I still got your back on Game 1 last season.

 

Completely agree, on all counts.

[rawaction]

It doesn't get much nastier than Harden to Marmol to Wood.

 

It's pretty much unfair if they all are on.

[kujay]

Great job Carlos!

 

Woody, start stretching...
