Mark DeRosa and Ted Lilly got the Chicago Cubs back on track—DeRosa with two fine swings and Lilly with another impressive outing. DeRosa hit a grand slam...
Our guys were playing like they were at Wrigley and not in San Francisco last night. It was great to watch. Lily pitched pretty much better than he has...
Matt Cain had been thinking a lot about this outing and how much he needed to bounce back with a great start. Then he went out and pitched one of his best...
Don't be fooled by the nice start from Marquis, the umprire strike zone was very generous. He gave a lot on the outside corner fo both pitchers. ... the ... ...
Honestly, are people just upset that Marquis hasn't bottomed out like they thought he would? Marquis should be money until after the all-star break, then as...
Amen. I was attempting at sarcasm, and I'm not sure I hit it quite right, but I agree. This Cubs team is a good team, and we're out Soriano, Zambrano, Ramirez,...
To comment on Mike’s comment further, I would say he pitched pretty well in 5 out of the 7 innings. Was the strikezone huge, yes but inconsistent as hell....
He is useless to us right now. We were up by 3 and he had just struck out the 1st 2 batters when they pinch hit a scrub Travis Denker. Next thing he gives...

Well we squeaked on out tonight and hopefully we can steal one from Lincecum tomorrow. The sad thing is that Marmol got the win, even though he pitched a...
hi, Positives: Soto, Wood, Fontenot, Edmonds Negatives: Marmol, Lee P: Soto to me has had an incredible year thus far. huge 2 rbi 2 out single after the...
The good news is that Johnson and Ramirez are supposed to be back tomorrow. I suspect Rami will be starting not so sure about Reed. With Zambrano back for...
Mike Fontenot has suddenly become a powerful presence in the Chicago Cubs' lineup. Fontenot homered for the third time in eight games, including a tiebreaking...
Add Chad Fairchild and Rob Drake to the "Bad" list. Fairchild has blown two easy calls in the last couple of days. He missed the obvious check swing call, and...
I don't think it is something injury related when you can dominate some of the hitters you face, but just not close the deal. Looking at it that way- I think...
Man, the bottom of the second was just hellish. No way we're gonna hit Lincecum hard enough to get 3 more runs especially with the park going into it...
Marmol has been SO bad over the last couple weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if he takes a trip to Iowa like what happened to Rich Hill. He is falling behind all...
Or, if Zambrano is activated tomorrow. Would Gallagher be moved to the bullpen and only Marmol sent to Iowa? ... From: dmwierz <dmwierz@...> Subject:...
Since June 19th, Marmol has 7 appearances, totaling 6 innings, given up 10 earned runs including 3 home runs, 8 walks, 7 K's. This doesn't even take into...
It was rumored before today's game that Gallagher may be going to the 'pen tomorrow. Honestly he didn't pitch all that bad tonight. One of the runs he gave up...
Tim Lincecum the cover boy soon could be Tim Lincecum the All-Star starter—or at least All-Star. And in his second big league season no less. Lincecum...
If you watched the game yesterday, the two hits off of Asciano were a broken bat flair and a bad attempt to bunt which fell in front of Asciano would attempted...
... Nevertheless, a trip to Iowa might be in order. Whether to work on not tipping his pitches or just gaining some confidence, he needs to get out of the...
Or the 3rd possibility (the one I fear) is he goes down to Iowa and loses it completely like Hill... -Geo 'Oi kau ka lâ, e hana i ola honua' "While the sun...
