Baltimore Orioles at Chicago Cubs, Jun 24, 2008 7:05 PM CDT
Finally! A game day with no rain in the forecast.
In this, the 12th year of interleague play, the Orioles finally complete the AL circuit of Wrigley Field -- up to tonight, they are the only AL team to have not played at Wrigley since interleague play began. And considering how many former Cubs have traipsed through Baltimore in the last few years, with the recent DFA of Freddie Bynum, the number of ex-Cubs on the Orioles' active 25-man roster is... zero. The closest to an ex-Cub they have is Alex Cintron, who was in spring training with the Cubs this year, and who replaced Bynum as their starting SS. (Although there are many Orioles who have been rumored to be coming to the Cubs in recent years, from Jay Payton to Aubrey Huff to ... well, you know who, the second baseman.)
Just the fact that Freddie Bynum was Baltimore's starting SS ought to tell you a lot, although they are still hanging around the fringes of the AL wild-card race (5.5 games behind as of today). However, they have done this before in recent years, most notably in 2002, when they were 63-63 on August 23 and went 4-32 the rest of the way. (No, that's not a misprint. They lost 10 straight, won one, lost 8 more in a row, won one, lost one, won one, then finished the 2002 season with an 11-game losing streak. Think about that the next time you think the Cubs are going through a tough stretch.)
Andy MacPhail's coming to Chicago with the Orioles, but he doesn't really want you to notice:"I'm really not looking for that," MacPhail said about the unremitting media spotlight, which he knows will likely find him. "I've thought about it, and I would try to lay low as much as I can, but obviously, you're going to face more of an issue if you're going to duck the media. [The Cubs] have the White Sox on both ends of us, so it should be fairly quiet."
OK, Andy, you got a deal. That's the last mention I'll make of him during this series.

Neither of these pitchers has ever faced tonight's opponent. Jeremy Guthrie has one career relief appearance against the Cubs, a poor two-inning stint when he was with Cleveland in this June 19, 2006 game, one of the few the Cubs actually played well that year. Guthrie's decent ERA and poor W-L record suggests low run support, and his gamelogs bear that out: the Orioles have scored only 55 runs in his 16 starts, 3.44 per game. Guthrie's also allowed 13 HR in those 16 starts. The Cubs have had their HR shoes on lately -- light him up!
Oddly, the only current Oriole Sean Marshall has faced is a pitcher, Lance Cormier; that was June 8, 2007, when Cormier started a game for Atlanta against Marshall and the Cubs.
The game's on MASN, the Baltimore/Washington cable channel, so it should be on EI; it's also on WGN and at MLB.com Mediacenter.

Awww, heck
First!
I just wanted to note that Sean Marshall pitched 8 innings in his last Iowa start, but that was only 87 pitches. I wouldn’t expect him to go more than 6 innings tonight…not that there’s anything wrong with that, since the relievers had yesterday off.

87 pitches in 8 innings is outstanding.
I’d love to see that tonight.

That is vaguely...
...Maddux-esque. 87 pitches – 8 innings….maybe Marshall is finally using all that knowledge he gained from sitting next to Maddux in 2006!

Yep he was a prize pupil
He and Murton ( who figured Maddux knew a thing or two about hitting as well) took full advantage
of having the professor around.

Well – Greg Maddux came closest in recent times. He once pitched a complete, 9-inning game with just 64 pitches vs. the Expos in 1988.

Maddux
It was late September and neither club was in the race. They were both just playing out the string and I imagine the Expos were swinging at a lot of first pitches.

...let’s try to make the opposing pitchers more INEFFICIENT and grab some base-clogging walks today. I’m somewhat saddened that the season walk total has fallen below club-record pace, according to Al’s sidebar.

Everything is just speculative, saying he’ll likely be sent down to make room for Marshall. And since Marshall is pitching tonight, I guess we’re just putting two and two together.

100 wins
Haven’t done that since 1935, I believe. Anyone on this board remember that year? My father-in-law was born that year – he’s 73 and despairing of ever seeing the Cubs win a World Series (although he does remember the Cubs playing in the 1945 World Series). Meanwhile, my wife’s uncle turned 90 earlier this year and he was born 10 years too late to see the Cubs win one.

Not a fan of Sean Marshall
But hopefully he can go 4 to 5 innings in each of his two starts before Big Z comes back. Or Hendry completes the deal to bring in another primetime starting pitcher.
The bullpen is well rested. Plus it looks like a day of heavy rain on Wednesday. So Piniella should be OK relying on the pen for 4 or 5 innings if it comes to that.

north when teamed with jiggetts.....
was a breath of fresh air when they started out. if you all remember, for a time they were the #1 radio program in chicago in the mid-morning time slot.
then the score was sold to cbs, teams were broken up and the score as we knew it was gone.
north was much better when teamed with jig’s. dan j. would stop north from going over the top, north on his own, many times goes too far. imo cbs was looking for a way to save $ by splitting up north and jig’s and dan and terry, thinking that we the listeners would follow along like sheep and listen to anyone they put on the air. they were dead wrong.
the bottom line is, cbs wanted to go on the cheep, what they are getting is an ass kicking from espn 1000.

Okay, I guess it's about time we start talking about the game...
...Baltimore’s two games over, yet been outscored by 14 runs. They’ve taken 2/3 from Pitt, swept Houston, and lost 2/3 to the Brew Crew. They do hit a good deal of home runs (5 guys with 10+; 4th in AL), have one of the lowest team BA (.257; 11th in AL), and are 2nd in saves (thanks to Sherrill haveing 25/26). That’s all I got right now.

What to Watch
ESPN just mentioned the game, right after What to Watch – Yankees and Pirates – WHY? The stat they showed was Huff hitting .435 with 5 HR’s and 11 RBI’s in his last 11 games. Sounds like the O’s go as Huff goes.
Want to see 7 innings out of SM, but will take 6 and leave with the lead.

Huff has been hot, but
you can get him out. A hot Aubrey Huff is not the same as a hot Lance Berkman, and Cub pitching cooled him off…

They'll drop evenutally.
I’m just glad he’s still hitting the ball, they are still flies and they are all hit hard.

Taste of Chicago
I was there about 5 years ago. Saw Charlie Daniels and Keith Urban. We had alligator on a stick, corn on the cob, crab rangoon, fried ravioli, and the biggest messiest most wonderful polish sausage ever. Althought I thought I was going to barf seeing as it was 100 degrees. Good times, good times.
