7/27 Astros (Rodriguez) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 CSN

[Irrelevant Dude]

I get the feeling its going to all come back to that 9th inning.

One way or another, it will... Even if the Cubs end up winning this game, these are extra innings that will continue to wear down the bullpen in a long stretch of games with very few off days.

[JonJayCutler]

Didn't we lose a game in Houston earlier this year by walking Lee and pitching to Blum?

[chuckywang]

Uh-oh, I bet Hendry feels pretty smart right now.

[Coach C]

Wow, Stevens must be pretty damned good if pitch number 2 was deemed "unknown" on Gameday....

You guys do know that Blum is a beatthecubslateinthegame machine, right?

 

Doesn't matter. Carlos Lee is much, much, much more dangerous.

I will not argue that

The Inning Fontenot Lost All Remaining Value

[Tryptamine]

I had forgotten Blum already has two walks offs against the Cubs this year.

If Blum beats us, he beats us, but he should have to do it rather than Carlos Lee.

[JonJayCutler]

Marshall!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Marshall's a stud.

[Sammy Sofa]

I love you, Sean Marshall.

[hotshot13422]

MARSHALL MOWS HIM DOWN

[Little Slide Rooter]

Please, please, please just end it here. We definitely have the right guys coming up.

[Old Style]

Marshall = nails

[Coach C]

Okay, let's end this please. I really need to get to bed!

[Soul]

Marshall just does his damn job.

[CyHawk_Cub]

I love you, Sean Marshall.

 

Yeah, but he's a butcher in LF

[chuckywang]

Thank you LOOGY, now who will pitch next inning?

Okay, let's end this please. I really need to get to bed!

 

I don't have to be in until 430 tomorrow, so I'm up for the duration. I'll brew a pot of coffee if I have to.

I love you, Sean Marshall.

 

Yeah, but he's a butcher in LF
