5/5 San Francisco (Lincecum) @ Cubs (Marshall) 1:20 (CT) CSN

[Schwarber Fan]

What's with the blue jersey obsession?

[fromthestretch]

Should Lincecum really get credit for a W today? I think he should be awarded half of a win today, at most.

 

Even if he loses?

lol

 

good one

 

I'll admit the odds aren't great, but he did get tagged for 10 hits and four runs in a start against a mediocre San Diego lineup earlier this season.

 

Stranger things have happened.

 

 

Nevermind. I was counting on Marshall to at least do his part. So much for that.

[Andy]

Well, Marshall just justified that move. We'd lose to Lincecum with a 3-0 cushion regardless of lineup.

[nick23]

Sean Marshall deserves better.

and... no he doesn't.

[CHCinIC]

ballgame?

 

I'd hope not, but I would think so with our lineup

[Old Style]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's the ballgame, folks.

[kujay]

Well this games over

 

Yes, yes it is.

 

Which is a bummer because I needed something interesting to get me through the afternoon.

 

Does it affect Marshall's thought process at all to know he's got to pitch well with that crap lineup out there behind him?

[Schwarber Fan]

That'll do it.

Yeah he gave up a homer . . . but it's a 3-run homer because of a bunt single and ground ball that found a hole.

 

Still, though, the game's over ;)

He figures he might as well save his arm and pitch half-assedly with this lineup behind him.

[Electron Blue]

Sean Marshall deserves better.

and... no he doesn't.

 

what does that even mean?

[UMFan83]

Any chance of beating Lincecum with our reserve lineup ended pretty much. But you all already knew that.

 

If we somehow win this, I'll be pretty damn impressed.

[Outshined_One]

On the flip side, we get to watch Tim Lincecum mow down the Cubs' lineup today! He's fun to watch.

[nick23]

Sean Marshall deserves better.

and... no he doesn't.

 

what does that even mean?

That he no longer deserves offensive support due to his suckiness. Thought that was clear. Sorry.

[jersey cubs fan]

Gathright doubles his hit total and nearly doubles his batting average at the same time.

[Outshined_One]

That was surprisingly easy.

[Keener98]

Good job Miles

[Andy]

Miles reassures us that he sucks against everybody.

[Outshined_One]

The top of our lineup should be at the bottom of our lineup.

[UMFan83]

I wish I asked this before Gathright singled but....

 

Worst 1-2 in recent Cubs history...

 

Neifi Perez/Enrique Wilson

Joey Gathright/Aaron Miles

Corey Patterson/Neifi Perez

Corey Patterson/Jerry Hairston

[jersey cubs fan]

Miles is going out of his way to keep that OPS under 500.

[Outshined_One]

Neifi Perez/Enrique Wilson

Joey Gathright/Aaron Miles

Corey Patterson/Neifi Perez

Lenny Harris and Jose Macias have to be in there somewhere.

[rynefan]

And I thought Sean Marshall might be the one good thing we had going for us. WRONG.

Chicago Cubs baseball is all about the stereotypical leadoff hitter over the prototypical leadoff hitter.

[rynefan]

Really glad I didn't pay money to see this game.
