8/27 Cubs (Marquis) @ Pirates (Duke) - 11:35 AM CSN Chicago

[TMan92]

Bring in Howry. Let's make this interesting!

It's interesting enough with Marquis in.

 

The guy pitching better than Zambrano today?

[Old Style]

For those of us only following along on ESPN GameCast, who took Marquis' spot in the rotation today?

 

:pig:

[Schwarber Fan]

Go for the elcyc, Lee!

[sweetpeteman]

Go for the elcyc, Lee!

 

 

Duke didn't let him.

[Schwarber Fan]

"Napkin? That's why they put sleeves on shirts"

Jason Marquis, wow!

 

Soriano caught stealing twice and an error? Not a good day for the Fonz.

[kujay]

I might have to break out the Marquis jersey t-shirt when I go to Wrigley this weekend.

[kujay]

Is Marquis staying in?

You have one? :shock:

[sweetpeteman]

Good job Johnson. Duke walks two straight batters and hasn't been near the zone except for one pitch, and you swing at the first one...

 

 

Despite how good this team can be, there are days where I'm sure they are trying to be the stupidest team in baseball.

[UMFan83]

Wow Marmol in. I am not a big fan of this decision

I should stop telling people that. Yeah, I do. I was drunk, I live in St. Louis. I thought it would be funny to wear to games here. The first time I did, he got shellacked. Should have seen that one coming.

[sweetpeteman]

Jesus Lou. Lets see:

 

Marmol does well, you ride him.

He starts to struggle.

Wood gets a blister, is out for a while.

Marmol, filling in at Closer for Wood, gets more time off, stops struggling.

Wood comes back, you go back to riding Marmol.

 

Any guess on whats next in the cycle?

I knew what that was before I even clicked on it. I will have it soon.

[Hall7810]

Man, some of those pitches were awful close. It's getaway day, Blue.

[haubrich91]

Phenomenal outing by Marquis. I'm stunned.

[kujay]

The Pirates seem to really suck at bunting.

[David]

Will they use Wood 3 days in a row, 15 hours after his last appearance?

[Choonch]

McLouth scares me here....

[sweetpeteman]

Suck it, McLouth.

[Guest]

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

 

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.

 

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

 

A bit late, but yes, I would prefer to give Wood the day off.

[Vinestal]

Is Wood warming up? Hasnt he pitched in every game in this series so far?

[Choonch]

McLouth scares me here....

 

n/m...onto the 9th!

[kujay]

Nice work, Carlos.

 

How about a few more so we can bring in Bob.
