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

[BCVM22]

Sean Marshall swinging the bat!

[Keener98]

Nice job Sean, he seems to have had a few big hits for us while starting.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Lincecums thrown 65 pitches so far, so we'll be lucky to get 1 inning out of their pen. We'll just have to find a way to hit him or lose.

Like gathright is going to do anything...

I'm hoping for an error.

[kujay]

We have ourselves a game here!

[Shilzzz]

Judd Serot is pretty hard to listen to. And it doesn't seem like Ron cares for him either

 

He is bad. It surprises me that WGN couldn't find some young pup to come in and do that job, like Provus or Masur. They wouldn't have to pay them squat. The chance alone at all that exposure would attract some of the best young talent, I would think.

 

He is the nephew of one of the WGN radio talk show hosts. I assume that's how he got the gig. Provus and Masur were both really good, esp Masur. Kind of miss him.

Maybe if he thinks his job is on the line, which it is.

[Keener98]

Just hold them at 3 Sean and I think we can tack on 1 or 2 more today

he obviously doesn't like his job then

I just started watching. What the hell is up with this lineup? I know we have injuries but jeeze.

[Shilzzz]

Instead of atbats, they should just let Gathright run down the 1st base line, with the 1stbaseman standing in his way. If he can hurdle the defender, he gets the base.

lou is "resting his starters" but basically he figured that we're screwed anyways so he's letting the bench players go strike out

Lou forgot to take his anti-psychotic meds today.

Funny part is, besides Z, we really don't have injuries anymore. Just a day off for the regs (all at once)

[Little Slide Rooter]

If our pitching can keep these guys dormant, I like our chances with Ramirez, Soriano, and to a lesser extent Bradley and Soto on the bench.

You're forgetting our biggest power threat of them all...

Great idea. Hows about we let him do it in Iowa or Daytona.

They'll only break out Babe Mantle in a special situation.

This might be a really dumb question, but why does Pat take those breaks? I understood it with the young guys on some level, but with a slug that is going nowhere, why do they continue to do this?

A great minor league attendance draw gimmick! brilliant.

[Keener98]

Wooo nice play Bobby!

[Guest]

lol, Ron is orgasmic over that play.

 

Oh, yeaeeesssss!

It's a mystery. Ron has brought it up via faxed questions, but Pat is actually kind of confrontational when it comes up, saying things like 'it's none of your buisness.' I imagine he's on a rigid bathroom break schedule or something.
