7/8/2006 Cubs (Marmol) @ Brewers (Bush) 6:05 CST

[jloos19]

86 pitches through 4 innings for Marmol, and he follows with a 6 pitch 5th, just disgusting.

[fondybrewfan]

OK I was wrong, but i still think we will pull this game out

Come off the ledge everyone, Marmol has 86 pitches through 4 innings. Well get some more runs. Actually Ill gaurantee next inning well retake the lead

---

 

Well, we had better try something else.

 

Okay guys, I guarantee an easy 1-2-3 inning for the Cubs next inning. Not even a threat.

[sheethead]

It cannot be said often, but that 3-4-5 hitter inning for the Crew was pathetic.

[brewmann04]

damm frustrating watching this team

they can not get over 500 for very long.

also prince needs tomorrow off.

[adambr2]

Okay. Come on bats, get it going. I hate hate HATE the Chicago Cubs. Do not let us lose 2 or even 3 of 4 to this garbage team.

[wisconsinfan47]

If Koskie was healthy I'm pretty sure Prince would be sitting tonight with Cirillo at 1st.

 

Oh well, let's get to Marmol. At least make him work.

[sheethead]

At least Hall didn't K, he has almost caught up to Jenkins in 30 less ABs (88 for Hall, 91 for Jenks).

[sheethead]

I wonder if Darron and Bill know that Oswalt pitched the 10th inning today and got the loss after giving up a PooHoles homer.

[adambr2]

Oh for crying out loud. This offense is complete garbage right now.

[adambr2]

Well Marmol is gone, which is probably a good thing the way we hit him around. Time to knock around their bullpen.

[adambr2]

What baffles me most about this offense is the inconsistency. They might get completely shut down by Zambrano, or they might knock him around for 8 runs.

 

They might get shut out by some unknown, or they might beat him up like an unknown pitcher.

 

You just never know. The quality of pitching that we're facing doesn't seem to be any sort of a predictive factor as to what the offense is going to do in a particular evening.

[adambr2]

What I also don't get is why we suddenly started swinging constantly at the first pitch. Marmol was walking everything in sight early in the game.

[adamb100]

Whats it gonna take to get a damn run?

[B2k1121]

We aren't going to score the rest of this game, and we will lose tomorrow as well and all this optimism we have had for the past week will be gone.

 

Just a prediction. But it will happen.

[jloos19]

You gotta love the job Bush did tonight. Let's get him some runs!

[adambr2]

On gamecast, sure looks like a lot of these pitches for Bush are right there, he's just not getting the calls.

[B2k1121]

Screw trading for a pitcher we need a bat.

[hawing]

Novoa looks hittable...then again, so did lil' Marmol (whose gameday picture makes him look like a teenager).

 

C'mon, guys. Don't make me ashamed to wear my Brewers hat on vacation.

[jloos19]

FSN is jixing us to the max with our late inning heroics. I wouldn't be surprised if we go 1-2-3 in the 7th, 8th, and 9th.

[B2k1121]

Like I said, we will not score, probably won't even get a hit.

I was thinking the same thing since they've been hyping the late inning heroics for the past hour now, lol.

[jloos19]

This inning is doing nothing to enhance my confidence in Matt Wise. The only out was tatooed by Jones.

[adambr2]

Matt Wise is at it again.

[adambr2]

I have lost all faith in this garbage bullpen.
