MARMOL!!

[inari]

Woody better not blow this one.

[Schwarber Fan]

Time for the Josh Phelps grand slam.

 

Might as well delete your account if it happens

 

Don't give me no lip, boy. I'm already responsible for the losing streak with the highlights thread.

 

Probably not a good idea to remind everyone of that

 

INSURANCE PLZ!

[BCVM22]

So Woody will face the pitcher's spot, Izturis and Schumaker.

[Hall7810]

Where we at in the order?

[sweetpeteman]

O: SCORE SOME DAMN RUNS AND STOP SUCKING.

 

 

 

Maybe try playing like you used to this year, not like you used to in 2006, you know, patience and going the other way when the pitches are constantly outside, cause this trying to pull everything crud ain't going to cut it.

[UMFan83]

Even though Phelps just missed that double, he was overmatched in that AB. I figured it was a matter of time before he swung and missed for the K.

[Ski]

Hopefully the cubs decided to have their 9th inning rollercoaster in the 8th instead and the 9th is a 1-2-3 inning.

If Pujols comes up, the winning run will be on base.

[FergieJ31]

Good Lord my heart rate is only now coming back to earth.

 

Marmol owes Sori and Fuku a lot of dinners...

[Hall7810]

Even though Phelps just missed that double, he was overmatched in that AB. I figured it was a matter of time before he swung and missed for the K.

 

And that 0-1 pitch was a total strike. I mean it was thigh high and had most of the plate.

[BCVM22]

and the 9th is a 1-2-3 inning.

 

:rotfl:

[CubmanPi]

im in full juju conjuring mode this inning. PLEASE hold on!!

[Hall7810]

Why not PH here?

[Little Slide Rooter]

MARMOL JUST DID WHAT VALVERDE DOES!

 

EVERYONE OSTRACIZE MARMOL NOW!

 

Come on, did he jump up and down, do a throat slash, flap his arms like a rooster, and mess his pants?

[Hall7810]

Two CF and Ward on the bench and he lets Reed bat against a RHP?

[gflore34]

The Cards bullpen collectively throws the same pitch - breaking balls away, why can't a Cub hitter figure this out?

[UMFan83]

Has anyone noticed that when Kosuke takes the first pitch for a ball, he will not swing until he gets a strike on him?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Thats OK Kosuke, you saved us some runs last inning.

[kujay]

Clearly there's no interest in scoring any more runs here...

[kujay]

Thats OK Kosuke, you saved us some runs last inning.

 

He drove in a few, you might say?

[erik316wttn]

Thats OK Kosuke, you saved us some runs last inning.

 

RGI's, baby.

[Faceman]

Not really.

 

It was well inside and curved to be caught in a much better position than it crossed the plate. It happens.

 

But yes, Phelps was well overmatched.

[Bull]

Thats OK Kosuke, you saved us some runs last inning.

 

He drove in a few, you might say?

 

driving in runs with his glove!

close. he jumped, gave a primal yell, squatted, clenched his fists.....let's not be complete homers about this. I'm on record saying I don't care that either act like they do, but let's not pretend that the Cubs don't do it
