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

[Little Slide Rooter]

This is going to be another one of those series where we outscore the opponent 30-6 but only take 2/3 isnt it? :)

 

If Jason Marquis has his way it will be.

Even if the Cubs do lose a close one (which I don't think they will) it's much, much better than outscoring the other team and only winning one of three, something the Cubs have tended to do in the past. :wink:

Probably very rarely, considering how much trouble they've had scoring in the past.

Sanchez triples.

[cbbryan]

triples are exciting except when the other team hits them.

[UMFan83]

Everytime my mind starts saying "hey, Marquis has done good so far" he goes and gives up a triple to Freddy Sanchez.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Sanchez triples.

 

It seems like The Cubs are the only team that doesnt realise that 2006 was a fluke for Sanchez.

[UMFan83]

Hey its the guy with the long 0-fer. Greaaaaaat.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hey its the guy with the long 0-fer. Greaaaaaat.

 

my thougts exactly.

[bukie]

Hey its the guy with the long 0-fer. Greaaaaaat.

 

Well, it could be the opposing pitcher. Would that be better?

[UMFan83]

OK, we've made it to the 5th inning. Time to, you know, score some runs so we can win when the rains come.

Really he gave up a fly ball that managed to avoid DeRosa.

[cbbryan]

At least the triple didn't come back to haunt us there. Let's see some offense.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Lets get some damnruns here, and no matter what happens, Marquis leaves after the 5th.

He's at 60 pitches. I doubt that happens.

I dont care if we have an 8 run lead and he has 30 pitches. He leaves after 5.

[erik316wttn]

DeRo leadoff single.

 

Let's not waste another leadoff baserunner, please.

Dont you think your asking for a bit much here?

[Little Slide Rooter]

With Ronny, Blanco, and Marquis, I expect nothing.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ronny sucks

 

he really does

There's some light stuff at the front edge that they could probably play through if they wanted to.
