i'm sure lou keeps track of marmol's outings and arm durability
...and wouldn’t send him out there if marmol didn’t feel 100% to go
he’s not dusty baker

Hahah good god, you can hear the people in the stands
They’re dumbfounded. Marmol’s “slider” shouldn’t be called a slider, but a Marmol’er

GREETINGS, FELLOW CUBS FANS!
I see Jason Marquis has pitched much better today! Excellent!
"We expect to win. We go out to win. So we're just living up to our own expectations." Derrek Lee, 5/29/08
GIve it up to him.
He was stellar today.
"This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell outta here." --Michael Scott
true but he did have a meltdown in the 8th
looking at the glass half emp[ty.
"Chicago baseball fans, who are composites of scar tissue and mortifying memories..." - George F. Will
sorry, guess I expected too much from him
my bad.
"Chicago baseball fans, who are composites of scar tissue and mortifying memories..." - George F. Will
Your joking right?
B/c that is beyond ridiculous.
"This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell outta here." --Michael Scott
yeah
he pitched really well. 8th inning is a damn find job. Give the guy a break.

by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 14, 2008 2:34 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah but
he was pitching in a groove and then lost it. Just frustrated with him I guess. We need Marquis to step it up, if we want to keep winning.
"Chicago baseball fans, who are composites of scar tissue and mortifying memories..." - George F. Will
this is the best he's done all year, right?

he DID step it up
7+ innings of 2 hit ball is what people would KILL for from their 5th starter.

and Marmol got him out of it,
which is Marmol’s job. 6-1 aint’ bad.

Nice win
Especially against one of the elite pitchers…Halladay. Not let’s take the series.
Can't think of a more fun way to set up a new comp than
while watching the Cubs win. Talk about painless!
take care everyone.. cya during the week gotta work during game time tomorrow.. sigh...

The cubs are facing Litsch tommorow
solid pitcher, he has a solid ERA (3.42), decent SHIP (1.28), but batters are hitting 287 against him.
Come on Phillies
I have a feeling the Cards are now going to go through a losing stretch. They may have a great manager, but without their ace and best hitter, I don’t think they will last against teams that are above 500.
damnit!
I thought the game started at 7!
2008 Cubs: Who needs nine innings, when you only need a 7th?
Ohhh man...
I thought it was 1:07, so I was late too…
"Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." - Jacque Barzun
A beautiful day indeed!
got my chores done, the cubs win….hmmm…think I’ll go to the lakefront for awhile, then maybe enjoy some cold beverages and listen to some blues…:)
"Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." - Jacque Barzun
Boo Cards..
Hope the Phils put another 20 spot on em…
"Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." - Jacque Barzun
Hate to be over-confident...
but I hope the Phils and Cards split all their games. I realize the Cubs won’t be handed the Central, but I view the Phillies as a bigger threat because I think they have the talent to steal home field from the Cubs in the playoffs. I’m just….not sold on the Cards holding up.
This team obviously needs home field in the playoffs. Speaking of, go NL in the All-Star game. Because. It. Counts.
Free Ronny Cedeno
Indeed
The Phillies are a big threat. Utley, Howard, Hamels, Rollins…they have a strong core. I like their team and to beat them the Cubs need pitching. The offense of the Phillies>offense of the Cubs (slightly), but the SP and RP goes to the Cubs (again, by slight margin). These teams are similar, but that can all change by acquiring a number 2-3 pitcher.
Defensively
The Phillies infield is better. The OF goes to the Cubs.
Hey Al
about your comment at the top of the thread, yeah, with Halliday pitching it could be over and it was, but for the Jays! This team just keeps coming back. I love it. And I hope to see it continue all the way into the October Classic!
I started watching The Cubs back in he days of Dick Drott, Glen Hobbie, Lee Walls, Ernie and still remember the first home run I saw in person hit by Hank Sauer. This Cub team is the best!

Have 2 extra tickets for tomorrow's (6/15) game in toronto
16 Rows from the field, just past the Cubs dugout in section 115, on the aisle. Looking for face value of $60 each, or best offer. I can meet you tonight or tomorrow before the game.
Please call Bryan at 608.213.5847 if you are interested.
I'm more worried about how we do
than how the Cards do. If we keep it up then we don’t have to worry about them. Let’s keep our fate in our own hands.
