I really wish there was even a shred of a chance that Lou would just leave Marshall in for the 9th.

[JonnyRed]

Now THAT's the way to shut the door...and it couldn't happen to a better guy!

 

Let's go finish this one off...couple of State Farm Insurance runs and then a 1-2-3 ninth...

[CyHawk_Cub]

I really wish there was even a shred of a chance that Lou would just leave Marshall in for the 9th.

 

But, but there aren't 3 left-handers due up for the Sox....

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 26-3 when they lead at the end of the 8th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[snoodmonger]

Until he's re-figured it out, I don't want to see Marmol pitching again unless were up by 5 or down by 5.

[JonJayCutler]

Wow. Since when do we get that lucky?

[CyHawk_Cub]

Font is terrible

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot called out on strikes

[Tryptamine]

Explain to me why Fontenot even sees the field at this point.

[illiniguy]

Fontenot is Corey Patterson bad right now.

[Irrelevant Dude]

So... when Ramirez comes back, can Fox play 2B?

[Sammy Sofa]

Explain to me why Fontenot even sees the field at this point.

 

The other options on a day like this are even worse.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[Sammy Sofa]

These shadows are ridiculous. What an awful ballaprk, and I say that fully realizing what a dump Wrigley is.
