4/6-OPENING DAY-Cubs (Z!) @ Astros (Oswalt) - 6:05 CSN/ESPN2

:lol: =D>

Nice communication there, Astros.

 

Well, that makes up for Aram, I guess.

[Hall7810]

Payback.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

CUBS are 73-3 when they lead by 22 runs or more at the end of the 8th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

We lost 3 games blowing 22 run leads? :shock:

 

That makes me glad we kept Prior in that Game 2 to protect the 10-run lead.

 

(No. I will not let it go. Ever).

[Keener98]

Thanks astros. haha

[genbar]

That's how ya do it, Stros!

[Cynosure]

Ramirez jogs to first and costs his team an out.

 

Shut it Rozner

 

Uhhh the thing is, he really did. Can't be pulling that crap with only a 2 run lead in your last at bat. I don't care if it's game 1 or game 141.

[Butterscup1679666578]

base hit scores a run.

I agree, cut him. It's not like he's helped this team tonight.

[erik316wttn]

Nice. Let's get him in, now.

 

Sotobomb?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot took second base on a passed ball

[UMFan83]

And also folks that want Marmol closing, that is why Marmol should be where hes at. Marmol faces the 1-4 guys, and now the closer gets the 5-8 guys.

 

What happens tomorrow when Marmol comes in for the 8th and faces the 7-8-9 guys, and Gregg the 1-3 guys?

 

The thing is, everyone has been saying that its great Marmol can be a setup guy to put out fires when he's most needed, but to be honest, 95% of the time, Marmol is going to strictly pitch the 8th and Gregg the 9th.

not to left it doesn't.

Yea man that's obviously what I was implying :roll:

The first time he pulls a hamstring running full-speed, he costs the team a lot more than an out.

If a professional baseball player pulls a groin/hamstring from running to first base, he needs to get his ass in shape.

Soto struck out swinging

[Keener98]

That wasnt a strike for Z or Marmol

[BCVM22]

Hoffpauir on deck to PH.

[erik316wttn]

Hoffpauir on deck if Riot gets on.

Happens all the time. Especially to guys who have histories of nagging injuries.

[Butterscup1679666578]

wow seeing griffey back in a mariners jersey is crazy. that clip made it look like he never left.

[Cynosure]

Define "all the time"

Doesn't Ramirez have a history of hamstring issues? I think once it's damaged it can be damaged again easily and I don't think it has much to do with how much shape you're in. I could be way wrong here though.

not necessarily. lou was smart enough to bring him in when the 7th inning guy got into a jam. 95% of the time gregg will be coming in with the bases empty. marmol adds a lot of value because of the ability to pitch out of a jam or get a strikeout when he needs one.

 

in other news, unc is already kicking the crap out of moo.
