IDK if it has been mentioned yet, but the Marlins announcer's call of the Lee HR in the 10th was very gratifying.

[C.C.]

Ramirez was hit by a pitch on his left arm after Lee's homer. He stayed in, and advanced on a sacrifice but then walked toward the Cubs dugout and had to be helped off the field by the Cubs athletic trainers.

 

"He got hit pretty good and I think he was getting dizzy," Lee said. "Hopefully, he's all right tomorrow."

 

"He's OK," Piniella said of Ramirez, who missed two months because of a dislocated left shoulder. "We'll see how he feels [sunday]. It hit him in the meat portion of his arm."

 

"Zambrano said his back was stiff, so we had to get him out of the game," Piniella said.

 

The Cubs starter lasted three innings and threw just 62 pitches. Piniella had gone to the mound to talk to him when the Marlins had one on and two outs in the third, but the pitcher finished the inning. Zambrano also hit Hanley Ramirez on the left knee in the third, and the Marlins' shortstop had to leave the game with a contusion.

 

"It's nothing to worry about," Zambrano said of his back. "It's just a tight back and I have to treat it and be ready for my next start."

 

The right-hander said he was feeling some discomfort the whole game

How many of the Marlin' 8 runs were scored with two outs? 7? Very frustrating to watch a team score all or most of their runs with two outs of course, if the Cubs could actually throw a strike or two this probably wouldn't be happening as often. Loved the way Marmol celebrated after K'ing Hermida last night, pretty funny Hermida stared him down. Given the Marlins are a bunch of obnoxious a-holes its fitting they get some of their own antics thrown back in their faces.

Top of the 10th he ran over to cover 1st on a Hill grounder and Hill brushed him as he ran past the bag. Nunez then proceeded to stare down Hill as everyone went to their dugouts.
