The Cubs would have to go 6-23 to avoid winning 90 games LOL -
I just had a scary thought. What if Wood really isn't available today, and Howry comes in for the close. Don't forget, he was the only reliever not used yesterday and Lou is a big fan of putting people in key situations to build confidence.
-
It's a 2-run game. That said, Gaudin didn't pitch last night, right? I was thinking Marquis 1 more but oh well. I'm just worried that Wood and Marmol won't be available tomorrow vs. Philly and Cole Hamels on the mound
-
3 outs from me hitting my predicted Cubs win total in the NSBB Predictions Contest
-
Wow Marmol in. I am not a big fan of this decision
-
I wouldn't mind it either considering the Cubs used six relievers yesterday (granted they didn't necessarily throw that many pitches) but I'd have Shark warming up and if Marquis gets into any trouble, yank him. I'm assuming you'd want Marmol to close?
-
1 more run will make me feel a lot more comfortable about this game.
-
Marquis at 94 pitches. At this point, I would bet Lou lets him come out to start the 8th with 9-1-2 due up. If he gets into any trouble, Marmol will come in.
-
I chuckled
-
If we can get 1 more out of Marquis I'll be really happy. I would assume both Marmol and Wood are good to go. Wood has thrown 2 days in a row but before that he hadn't pitched in 5-6 days.
-
I know why we were struggling thus far. No one posted this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/vance_the_cubs_fan/cubssweepsx1.jpg

That's why he's our 25th man
-
It finally worked Reed!
-
Shades of Estes in 03?
-
BTW, Derrek has 199 ground balls this year, the highest in his career and we are in August
-
It's the anti-cycle possibly the elcyc? CUBS RULE! Also a comebacker to the pitcher would complete it.
-
I wouldn't worry. Pitchers in the playoffs throw legit fastballs, not meatballs
-
Is it a cycle if you ground to 3B, SS, 2B, 1B in the same game? If so, Lee is 3/4 the way there.

Zach Duke = Jeff Karstens 2 weeks ago
-
Wasn't he a huge pain in the ass to us last year? He and that scrub CF'er for the Reds whose name escapes me. Norris Hopper Yes, him. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=44243

If Morgan had any plate discipline he'd have walked already
-
I wish I could goto Vegas and bet on things like "0-2 count Marquis will throw a ball with the next pitch"
-
Unrealistically fixed here we go Didn't Marquis throw a CG shutout last year?
-
Hopefully this isn't the meltdown inning.
