8/31 Phillies (Moyer) @ Cubs (Marshall ) - 1:20 CT WGN TV

[Careless]

OK now I feel better about last inning.

 

Who can be our long man? Marhsall should be able to go more than 85-90 pitches, which might not take him into the 5th.

How much has Gaudin pitched?

He's got 1.2 innings in the last week

[TruffleShuffle]

C'mon ARam rip a double somewhere.

 

on the phillies broadcast they said last inning that the cubs have 17 hits in the last 12 innings, all of which have been singles.

[UMFan83]

Sean must be stoned today. He looks a little slow.

 

This is what happens when you don't announce your pitcher until Sunday morning. Marshall was probably out late partying, not thinking he'd be starting.

 

 

(BTW, I'm kidding)

 

 

It was his birthday yesterday....might be right

 

Not that Marshall is a known huge partier or anything, but I've seen pictures of him out before, so its reasonable to assume he was out for his birthday.

 

Then again, I'm sure he had some idea he might be starting, and he is married so I'm sure he wasn't out chasing tail all night.

Looks to be one of those bottom of the order does all the work games. For what its worth though, the team that scored first lost all 3 games so far.

[UMFan83]

Moyer keeps trying to get that inside corner, but the ump seems to think its a ball. It was definitely a strike yesterday.

[UMFan83]

Blah, 3-0 Brewers.

 

Win or be 4.5 games up

[UMFan83]

Why does it seem like Kosuke comes up in every big situation lately?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Come on Fuku, hit something ot of the damn infield.

[TMan92]

Looking at the Brewers schedule, we are going to have to take care of them ourselves. Lots of SD, Cin and Pitt in September.

[UMFan83]

Kosuke 2 for his last 14...

Argh. What a worthless player. If we can trade him in the offseason without paying for any of his contract or taking on more dead salary, it should be done. Edited August 31, 2008 by inari

[TMan92]

Another inning with RISP left on.

[BCVM22]

We're being made to look silly by a junkballer. This is disgusting.

[Little Slide Rooter]

The Anti-Clutch strikes again.

[TMan92]

Argh. What a worthless player.

 

Looks like those few games were a fluke.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Kosuke 2 for his last 14...

 

And I believe those 2 were infield singles.

[Ski]

We're due to have a big inning, Marshall just has to hold them.

A soft tossing lefty beating the Cubs.....no way!

[PrimeTime]

I think kouske stands to close to the plate. When he gets thrown inside it just eats him and all he does is ground to second Juan Pierre style. He should move away so he can get extension and get the sweet part of the bat on the ball

[Little Slide Rooter]

The heart of the order really needs to put in some work today. I doubt that the Phillies are done scoring here.

I thought we were past that weakness. Apparently not.

CC's at 86 pitches through 6 which means Yost will likely leave him in for another two innings.

I definitely think we make the playoffs this year, but the Brewers are far from done.

I'm not worried yet. 4.5 up with just at a month to play is still a decent sized lead.

yeah something tells me that teams aren't going to be falling all over themselves to trade for a RF who's below average offensively and is due $38m over the next 3 years.

 

that is one ugly contract, fo' sho'.
