Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
also, in case you didn't notice
I called a 4th inning Cub rally in the top of the 3rd
Sori starts it with a double
on my screen it was
all that matters in my world… go cubs!

I just wanted to see him make a bit of a more aggressive turn around
second. Thats all.
Restraining the urge to get giggly....
by halfblindcubbiegirl on Jun 8, 2008 8:23 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm not criticizing him
but he’s not a player who usually anticipates mistakes by the opposition. someone like Dunston (pulling a name out of nowhere) would have rounded aggressively. Sori took the double for granted, but I don’t thikn it could have been 3

And Marquis has not had a single true outcome in four innings.
For those of you that missed it earlier.

Not sure which one…

My husband lived in Davenport for 2 years as a child. He still cowers in the corner in the fetal position whimpering over memories.

Yeah, but you're having fun...

Oh, sorry, you must have missed it.
one of the benefits of being the half blind one
is that you get to miss things like that. ;)

Can't argue with his performance tonight.
One of the better Cub starting pitching performances I’ve seen in a while.

Great night for Marquis thus far
but shouldn’t a starting pitcher be able to go more than 85 pitches without being gassed
"Very adroit in the outfield." - Lou, on Dome
Dude, cut him a bit of slack...
Ideally you’re right, but we just got a pretty good outing from Marquis. I’m overjoyed.
I hope Marmol has his stuff.
I like him when he gets to start his own inning… but he is the fire extingusher.

Urgh. I’m so glad hes on our team.

Because ESPN told them to...
That’s the answer to Miller’s question in the 4th inning, “Why do they ever start a game at 5:00 on the West Coast?”
After listening to Morgan complain about the shadows between the mound and home.
There are those who dedicate themselves to a sense of honor, a life of courage, and a commitment to something greater than themselves. The Few. The Proud.
Morgan was classic
“A lot of teams are doing that now on Sundays. Some of the start at six or at five…” Like he was completely oblivious to ESPN’s role in that.
LOL Geo thought the inning was over.
Hope that he’s right that the inning is over once Marmol comes in.
IF IT TAKES FOREVER!!
Marmol mows 'em down
outs. Or is it three? Lets ask Geovany Soto.

I'm starting to wonder about the nicknames for this pitching staff
We’ve got “Dumpster” and “Easy Gas” and now “Sliders”...
I suppose if there’s any justice/irony in the world, they’ll be ranked #2 in the NL at the end of the year…

I just called Marmol filthy and my daughter told me he should take a bath then.
