Shaun Marcum

10-3, 3.50

Marcum is 3-0 with five no-decisions in his last eight starts, but he pitched well against the Pirates on Sunday. He allowed a first-inning run, but hurled 7 2/3 innings. Marcum pitched six shutout innings against the Mets on June 7.

Mike Pelfrey

6-9, 4.58

Though Pelfrey left his last start in the fifth inning after taking a line drive off his pitching elbow, X-rays were negative and he should make his next start. That will come against the Brewers, whom he held to two runs over six innings on June 8.

Good news for the people who want Lucroy batting higher than 8th today!

[Raw Biz]

Apparently Counsell's career 2-5 against Pelfrey makes him deserving of a start.

[jjfanec]

Cubs tie it up 4-4 with St Louis going into the 9th. Cards let 4-1 at one point. I dont like rooting for the Cubs but I will do it for the next three days

[fondybrewfan]

Cubs just tied it up in the 8th. It would be nice to knock another 2 off that magic number today.

[fondybrewfan]

And Theriot just let the one of the fastest guys in the league on 1st with an error.

 

Got a good feeling Cubs will pull this one off

[sargennm]

Yeah, not so much.

 

If you haven't already, you got to see the rope-a-dope that the Cards' middle infield played on Campana to double him off first on a pop fly to CF.

[fondybrewfan]

Thats what I get for trusting the Cubs.

 

They will not walk off the bottom of the 10th.

[LouisEly]

LouisEly, soon to be reporting from section 128

Nice reverse jinx!!!!!! Cubs win!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Cubs win! Cubs win! (OK, enough "love" for them.)

[SeriesFinale]

I just had so much fun the past couple hours emailing a good Cubs-fan friend of mine back in Chicago about this game.

 

Hey Chicago, whaddaya say...?

[logan82]

Betancourt or Counsell starting. Tough choice. Hairston should be in for one of them.

[razzzorsharp]

CC starting again, there is no need for this to happen when we have other options.

 

My hope for him tonight 0/2 with a walk. I would love that line.

[Raw Biz]

CC starting again, there is no need for this to happen when we have other options.

 

My hope for him tonight 0/2 with a walk. I would love that line.

Normally I would hope for him to go something like 0-45 to prove to management that he has nothing left but since that already happened once this year and he's still on the team, I'll take that line too.

[Hofbraunhaus]

I just turned on FSN and thought they made a mistake when showing the standings. Seeing the Cards lost this afternoon was a pleasant surprise. Lets start this series out right Crew!

[ilovebeer]

Oh wow, good news thanks cubs, I didn't even know it was a day game, what a nice surprise.

[ilovebeer]

Lets just hope the offense isn't AWOL tonight.

[ilovebeer]

I love to watch Shaun pitch.

[pebadger]

Oh-oh. Every time FS Wisconsin breaks out the Cee Lo Green, nothing good happens. In fact, really bad beatings usually happen.

[ilovebeer]

We are in a rain delay, do we know how long the delay is?

[ilovebeer]

Just looked at the NYC radar and this could be a long delay, in fact they are saying rain all weekend.

[razzzorsharp]

Stupid roofless stadiums.

[ilovebeer]

I think all new stadiums should have roofs.

[pebadger]

Hey, maybe the Brewers can play 2 doubleheaders in 3 days!
