8/22 Nationals (Lannan) @ Cubs (Marquis) - 1:20 WGN

[UMFan83]

Again, I want to know how having a 4-0 lead is supposed to make Jason Marquis a lockdown pitcher...

 

I think the idea is given a decent lead, pitchers should just throw strikes and pitch to contact... but I'm not really sure that Marquis can throw strikes consistently even if he wants to.

 

Exactly. He's not a good pitcher. He almost never has good command so you can't expect him to throw strikes in any situation.

LOL Well this one is over for sure

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Seriously? We've let the fornicating Nationals score ten runs! Ten runs!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

yikes, this one really got away

is it too late for a firesale?

[Joe_Cub]

nice job, guys

[Banedon]

I still believe that the Jason Marquis no-hitter is out there. I still believe.

Waivers baby, waivers.

[Outshined_One]

Can't say I'm too pleased with how this game has unfolded.

[haubrich91]

Hopefully the Pirates can win tonight.

FWIW, I think the WGN gun has been slow today.

 

I doubt it. They clocked Marquis at 93-94 a few times and I don't think he throws harder than that.

[Guest]

Get the suck all out of you, then come back and win the series tomorrow and Sunday.

[17 Seconds]

Keep in mind that the Nationals scored a total of 26 runs during their 12 game losing streak that just ended.

[PrimeTime]

Well I guess I'ts time to start getting loaded after watching this crap.

[Guest]

Well, now I can get some work done today.

 

Win the next two, Cubs, and all is well.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

nice snatch

[Ski]

If the Nats can beat the Cubs, the Pirates can damn well beat the Brewers.

Really? I didn't see that. I just saw most of Gaudin and Howry's pitches in the mid or upper 80's.

It's simple, three runs this inning and three runs next inning and win.

[Flames24Rulz]

And the best we can do against the Nationals this year is split our season series. Sad.

[Banedon]

nice snatch

 

 

:oops:

It won't work that way. I'm expecting 3 Brewers blowouts this weekend.

At the end of the year, are you gonna care?
