Wow. Suicide squeeze gets down. 2-0 Cubs

[inari]

Awesome!

[Guest]

Wasn't perfect, but Ronny got the run home.

[Schwarber Fan]

That felt good

 

lets do it again

[Guest]

SQUEEZE!!

[Schwarber Fan]

LOL!

 

Play of the year!

[kujay]

Wow.

 

I considered winning this game to be found money. But now we gotta pull it out.

I know why we were struggling thus far. No one posted this:

Who made that anyway?

 

Was it Jon?

That picture is freaky. Lou looks like he is about to kill someone with that street sweeper.

 

Nice call by Lou. Good execution. The Cubs have not executed well lately (errors by Fukudome, Soriano, bad bunting by Cedeno, Soriano getting thrown out). Once the Cubs shore this up, they will be that much harder to beat.

If we can get 1 more out of Marquis I'll be really happy. I would assume both Marmol and Wood are good to go. Wood has thrown 2 days in a row but before that he hadn't pitched in 5-6 days.

Bring in Howry. Let's make this interesting!

I chuckled

Wow, nice. I know the prospect terrifies some, but Marquis really should go back out.

It's interesting enough with Marquis in.

We're trying to finish this off, not go through a rain delay.

Nice quick inning by Marquis.

[UMFan83]

Marquis at 94 pitches. At this point, I would bet Lou lets him come out to start the 8th with 9-1-2 due up. If he gets into any trouble, Marmol will come in.

Pirates, you suck at life.

 

Jason Marquis just shut you down.

 

7 IP, 95 pitches.

 

Unfortunately, this gets us no closer to getting him out of the rotation. Fortunately, he'll be nowhere near the playoff roster.

I wouldn't mind it either considering the Cubs used six relievers yesterday (granted they didn't necessarily throw that many pitches) but I'd have Shark warming up and if Marquis gets into any trouble, yank him.

[UMFan83]

1 more run will make me feel a lot more comfortable about this game.

I'm assuming you'd want Marmol to close?
