4/1 CUBS (Samardzija) @ PIT (Burnett) 12:35 WGN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

@#%#@ I would love to have them facing Garza tomorrow and not letting up with the good pitchers.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Best Opening Day Cubs pitching performance since???

Didn't some scrub get close to a no-hitter one year? Remembering stuff is hard.

[Old Style]

This long haired hippie kid ain't half bad.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Reallllllllly want Shark out of the game.... I dont like 110 pitches on opening day even if he is beastly.

[mookie]

He needs to be done.

It's a long way from the days of the Cubs scoring 16 runs and Z embarassing himself and handing Glendon Rusch the opening day win because he couldn't go 5.

[Andy]

Sexy as hell.

110 is exactly where he ended up after that inning.

[J.R.]

Great showing for the Shark.

[Guest]

so.... fuji or marmol in the 9th?

[UMFan83]

8 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 9 K, 110 NP

 

Yeah I like that

[Brian]

again

 

SHARK =D> =D>

[Cubs Fan Dan]

I think Shark is monitoring all of the crazy long term deals happening... He wants his.

[nobull]

He should be done

[bukie]

Samardzija gave up zero fly balls. Two line drives to the OF were it.

Guzman, years ago...

[Gilby]

so.... fuji or marmol in the 9th?

 

It will be Marmol, but I have a feeling it would go a little smoother with Fuji or Camp.

 

*focuses on Marmol's second half of 2012*

[Cubswin11]

so.... fuji or marmol in the 9th?

I would think if it remains a save situation Marmol is coming in

[Banedon]

Marmol warming up.

[Guest]

Great outing from Shark. Hopefully the bullpen gets the ninth.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Please be the good Marmol.

 

Nothing kills a great Opening Day performance quite like a blown save.

[Banedon]

On Shark's first start of the year last year, 4/8, he threw 110 pitches.

[Guest]

Samardzija gave up zero fly balls. Two line drives to the OF were it.

 

Do pop outs to the infield not count as fly balls? Because somebody popped out to Lillibridge early in the game.
