IMO
Don’t expect much to happen until each team goes once through the lineup.

Chalk this up
Chalk this up for Steve Stone so far. He said last year he thought Marshall would be better than Hill in the long run.
Go Cubs
perhaps premature
but yes, i have always liked marshall

Hill isn't done forever yet
Though I agree that Marshall is the better long term pitcher.

i find it funny
that cintron’s pic has him in a cubs uni considering he only played part of ST with us and no real games

Marshall's last start at Iowa..

Baserunning not much better.
Marhsall’s at least got he exucse that he wasn’t sure it was fair, but Theriot should’ve been running hard regardless. That’s a really bad baserunning error.

O's up 2 on an RBI triple, but Sean looks good.
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
Sean
I remember what used to infuriate me about Marshall, it was the number of pitches he would rack up. He’s already over 70 pitches in the fourth inning. He could never get out of the sixth inning. I just wish he could get the same results in fewer pitches and get deeper into the games.

Not to hijack thread...Baltimore eats
On the Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore has really rejuvinated its’ downtown like Denver has.
Great eats….and yes they do eat seafood. Crabcakes to die for and alot of cool bars and shops. Just northeast of the Ravens stadium.
Oh…and FUKODOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Makes up for the misplay last inning…
Totally agree
I talked with a fire dispatcher for Baltimore and he said that 20 yrs ago none of thwat is around the bay was there and what was was very scary. And I totally agree on the Crabcakes. Heaven!

i'm not bad
but the chick on the phone said the total was $25… and last time they were out here they dropped both our pizzas… so i was due haha (although I got another 2 for free that night as well…)

Alot of realistic posts with less homophobic, moronic, negative references to negative plays made by Cub players.
Refreshing.
Go Cubs lets get these runs back for Marshall!!!!!
I still don't understand why, though.
I don’t see that kind of thing on any other Cubs blog.

Yeah, it makes no sense.
If sports bring you only misery and pessimism and you can’t participate in the joy that seems sort of ridiculous.

"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
Varsho the O's pitcher thought ARAM hit it harder as well
If you look at the swing the ball kinda handkuffed him so he didn’t hit it at the end of the bat.
That was out if ARAM had hit it toward the end of the bat…..
Yeah, I saw Guthrie's reaction.
He def though Rammy nailed it.

Nice glovework by Mora there.

Neuqua wasn’t built until after I graduated, but it was right near my parents house – so I would have gone there.

Dome's quote
In his diary:
Feeling it doesn’t matter if we are behind by a couple of runs, especially at Wrigley.
I'm bleeding Dragons Blue.
Good point
Let’s hope he comes up this inning ready to make a difference.

I Like Sean
But this is what we get in most of his starts.
He has a great curve ball. Doesn’t give up runs in bunches, but just keeps getting nicked a run at a time. Gives up about a hit an inning and a walk every other inning. And racks up a lot of pitches in a short amount of time. I used to cringe when Marquis and Marshall would pitch back to back because they would have trouble getting past the fifth inning (his career average is right around five inning per start.) We’d burn out the bullpen in two days and hope for a long start by the next pitcher to rest the pen.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. -- George Santayana (1863-1952)
what you are relly looking at is a #7 starter.
Not Z but somebody has to pitch.
If Ryan's gonna hit a HR, tonight's the night.
Yank one into the breeze out to left and let the wind do the work.

the only player in history that could consistantly get doubled off third on a routine grounder with no one else on base.

He was also fond of getting doubled off second with no one one, as well.

No idea.
A bit of a long run for Theriot, but I think you’re right, that’s his ball and he gave up on it. Patterson should still make that play, though.

E-Patt is obviously not an OF’er

okie dokie this is getting interesting now
the boys seem to be running out of gas, and most of the stink appears to be in left tonight which i would have NEVER expected…..... hmmmmmmm….
It's that weird feeling I was talking about earlier.
Almost like the come down from the cross-town whatever is draining energy or something.

EP has gotten a lot of focus the last two days
i just wonder if the limelight might be a little too much for him and he’s trying to do too much… unlike his brother who just kind didn’t not that much…
Highly possible.
The fans just sound quiet too though.

I don't think there's a "weird feeling"
The Orioles are just playing better than the Cubs are. It happens sometimes.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Jun 24, 2008 8:48 PM CDT up reply actions
Agreed
A win with a AAA pitcher taking over for your ace is a bonus, so this should be about what we expected. Then again, expectations have changed lately, so I’m still expecting a 6 run inning for the Cubs.

pitching match-up wasn’t in our favor tonight. guthrie is a damn good young pitcher and marshall is a spot starter in this league and little more

They're actually not that bad this year ...
They’re not 7 runs in six innings good, but they’re not as miserable as eveyrone thought they’d be
Still, it would be nice to be closer
yeah

Glad I picked up Bronson and Marshall in my fantasy league today...
...Bronson went one inning and gave up 6 runs, for an era of 90, and Marshall is sittin’ pretty with an era of nearly 8.
