    Marmol is a good, confident pitcher.

    Don't think we'll see many times this year where we have 2nd & 3rd and nobody out with our big guns up and...............nothing. Backbreaker for the Stros.

    We faced some good pitching today.

    The Cubs have a load of good hitters and enough quality pitchers.

    They clearly look like the most talented team in the NL this season.

    Now you have to pitch inside. You have to. Let's make this personal right now.

    17 more games against these guys the rest of the year. Nows not the time to be passive when it's a race.

    I agree. If I'm Lee, I would be pissed if a Cub doesn't get their ass put in the dirt before the game is over.

    I wonder if McLane would be willing to pay the Cubs to take Borkowski back to Chicago with them.

    Ty Wigginton is good at...

    1. Swinging very, very, very hard, regardless of where the baseball is.
    2. Completely losing his balance every single time he takes a swing.
    3. Striking out a lot.
    4. Fooling people into thinking he is a serviceable 3rd basemen.
    5. Eating, apparently.
    6. Nothing that makes me believe he is any better than Morgan Ensberg (especially when you consider OBP and defense) or that he should be our 3rd basemen for the next few seasons.
    7. Making things easy on opposing pitchers and improving their pitching stats.

    Did I miss anything?
