8/22 White Sox (Lopez) vs. Cubs (Hendricks) / 7:15pm CDT / Marquee

[cl smooth]

Last-minute sub for the game thread so here we go:

Is this one of those games where Cubs better score enough early b/c Gio Gonzalez comes in to piggyback Lopez? And they’ve made Gio look like Cy Young the last couple of years.

[Derwood]

Can the Cubs strike out fewer than 15 times tonight?

[Andy]

Sean Marshall's voice sounds a lot like Darrin Jackson's and it's throwing me off.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Well at least the Ks weren't swinging... or something.

[UMFan83]

This dude had a 5.38 ERA last year and gave up 4 runs in 2/3 of an inning in his only appearance this year. Should be a good gauge of how much of a full team offensive slump the Cubs are in.

[PackLandVA]

And so it begins.....the end.

[Andy]

Sigh

[We Got The Whole 9]

Jesus what was the EV on that?

[PackLandVA]

Wonder if Sean Marshall has anything left in the tank. Couldn't be worse than a couple of the stiffs down in the bullpen.

[Derwood]

Thank you, Eloy.

[Andy]

Len sort of making excuses for Eloy there but I'm not crazy to think a competent left fielder probably gets that, am I?

Don't know if someone would have caught it, but they wouldn't have let it ricochet 50 feet away from them

[Irrelevant Dude]

Jeez, Javy.

So let's just say Laz Diaz called Encarnacion safe there. He'd be out for running into RF, right?

[PackLandVA]

I'd give Javy some time off. Looks like he may be taking his ABs to the field.

That started about a week ago IMO

[PackLandVA]

Keep batting him third, though, right?

[PackLandVA]

SIX pitch inning for a guy that struggles to throw strikes! LOLOL

[PackLandVA]

Time to go for a run. Later boys!

[dfnowak]

That’s game. I’ll go watch the Lakers instead.

[PackLandVA]

Small sample size, but the Cubs can't hit....this season.

[UMFan83]

HRs this series:

 

White Sox - 8

Cubs - 0

[UMFan83]

Just remember that the Cubs weren’t as good as the 13-3 start and they aren’t as bad as the 3-7 they will be since then if they lose tonight.

This team sucks and Ross is making really dumb moves
