This is Beautiful-The Cubs lead in the division is now 5 games, over both the Brewers and Cardinals and they come home to play the Pirates, who will be without Xavier Nady and Jason Bay, who were both traded!!! The Big Blue train should keep steaming . The only thing that could prevent a sweep, might be Marquis starting the first game of the series. But hopefully, he can do well against a weakened lineup. Although one thing this Pirate team has going for it, is no pressure. They will have a young team, with nothing to lose, going out trying to make names for themselves. But it should be another series win, if not a sweep.

I haven't changed my heads for a few years. They're Remo. I have a mixed Tama/Premier set (rather old). I just haven't been able to put a whole lot of maintenance into them lately...still love to play 'em though. I find that I usually kick out the bass head before any of the others. I usually just go to Music Lab in Lansing or Guitar Center for my gear.

Its time for Sean or Jeff to take Marquis spot in the rotation. This guy is so shitty its a joke. Hendry was dumb to give him 21 million.

I don't like him, but he's actually a statistically good fifth starter...

Marquis is going to cost this team if they dont get rid of him soon! Derrek Lee ground into another DP! Woe unto you who feel the Cubs are in good standing! Over-confidence has once again reared its ugly head!

This does not look good!

PANIC! PANIC! PANIC!

marquis is just maddening. he's not a bad pitcher, not a good pitcher. he's jeckyl & hyde...and i think i've mentioned how much i despise how he gives up hits/runs on 1-2 and 0-2 counts...

Actually he lined into a DP.

It is still 2 outs! And he hit into it! Therefore his trend of too many double plays continues! PANIC! will have to more carefully read the GameCast from his desk in the future, but you must not get caught up in splitting hairs! The bottom line is this team is in trouble, DEEP trouble!

PANIC! PANIC! PANIC!

With the number of baserunners the Pirates have put on base, the Cubs are lucky to be down only 2-0.

Can you say let down game?

That was weird.

i'm more mad at the hitters today than marquis, as stupid as he's pitching. 3 runs in 6 innings isn't insurmountable. don't know what it is about those pirates pitchers...

This is such a trap series. A pathetic pirates team comes to wrigley and by all rights shouldn't take even 1 of 3. Winning 2 of 3 in this home series is a loss in my opinion. The pirates are a team you should beat handily.

Wake the fuck up, cubs bats. Fucking ludicrous. It's the Pirates!!! They just traded away the only guy on their roster that sold a jersey for christ's sake.

Offense slipped back into a coma. Very irritating game thus far. Maybe we can scratch against their relief, seeing as how the great Karstens is untouchable.

I love myself when I'm right...don't worry folks, when the rest of the Cubs rotation shows up, we'll have taken 2 out of 3...

I figured today would suck with Marquis pitching. Cedeno is bad also.
