Without this ~ we're okay.

[jersey cubs fan]

Score a couple runs and let Samardzija close it out, no reason to throw Marmol again just because Dusty is here.

[Sammy Sofa]

Sexy recovery, Woody.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Campana is white, thus he can't be lazy

 

Sorry his last name confused me. Let's make him Tony Camp to avoid such confusion in the future.

 

Wait Tony sounds Italian...are we ok with Italians?

 

Uhh, don't wanna anger the resident paisans, so I say yes

Koyie Hill at the plate is Paul Bako after getting him drunk and hitting him over the head with a bat a couple of times, then spun around in a circle for 2 minutes

So Todd Hundley?

Starlin needs to stay in that leadoff spot.

[SouthSideRyan]

I don't think young Mr. Camp stands much of a chance here.

Who was the fellow we got for Michael Barrett then later traded for Jason Kendall. That guy was bad.

[UMFan83]

TCamp a triple short of the cycle

[Little Slide Rooter]

With the combination of his manager and velocity, Aroldis' career is destined to end by his 25th birthday.

[rocket]

well at least it was close at the plate

[SouthSideRyan]

Rob Bowen.

Never estimate the power of a small, gritty white guy.

Campana should retire while the gettin' is good. Nice day for him

[SouthSideRyan]

well at least it was close at the plate

 

I ask without a hint of hyperbole, is DeJesus worse than Wendell Kim. Neither of them seem to have any idea when to send and when to hold, it's just a random number generator out there.

ESPN.com showed that Aroldis Chapman was going to pitch the 9th for the Cubs after pitching the 8th for the Reds.

 

I thought, considering the managers involved, that may have actually been true.

[UMFan83]

Marmol is getting more efficient. Instead of taking a 5-6 pitch AB before walking the first hitter, just plunk him right away

[CyHawk_Cub]

Sit down Votto

[jersey cubs fan]

Three days in a row, five of last six.

 

By all means, run him out there.

Got to man. Pennant on the line

[jersey cubs fan]

5th time this year he's gone three straight days, 3rd time since the beginning of July. He went from being well off his normal games/innings pace to being right back in-line.

Id say walk Hernandez, but Cairos the type of putz that would hit a granny here. Edited August 5, 2011 by Little Slide Rooter
