My fraternity can still win the triple crown... (Both horses are owned by graduates).

We have the best bullpen in the league.

 

This all just goes to show how shifty and unpredictable relievers are. You could have made a very good case the Cubs had the best bullpen in the league prior to the start of the season.

 

Relievers should not be signed to multi-year contracts.

 

Other than closers, here are all the consistently good relievers I can think of off the top of my head:

 

Scot Shields

 

And Scott Linebrink. That's about it. Howry was close to that level, but Dusty may have damaged him.

Cla Meredith. Justin Duchescher. Dan Wheeler.

 

And that's just non-closers.

 

That's the point. There's like 5 decent RHP setup guys in baseball. It's not like you just pick one off the street. The really good relievers are closers and there's not many good closers either.

Like yesterday I can't watch the 9th.

[Sammy Sofa]

HAW-HAW!

[killthegoat06]

HAHAHA. I feel bad for Aardsma though. :oops:

[Coach C]

OUCH! Right into the pitcher's back. That's gonna really hurt tomorrow.

[Roast]

LOL @ Aardsma. LOOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Soul]

Our BP + Wind patterns today = 1 run not enough.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Get out of the way when Barrett is ripping a line drive off your crappy pitching, Aardsma.

[Coach C]

The bases are clogged! The bases are clogged!

[RichHillIsABeast]

hehehehehehe

[Mizzou]

Nice!

 

Cmon Jacque, drive one

[killthegoat06]

LOL @ Aardsma. LOOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

Can you piss yourself anyway? :wink:

[RichHillIsABeast]

Barrett is awesome.

[killthegoat06]

Insurance runs please. Let's go Pagan for Jones?

[Roast]

No, but if Jones hits a Grand Slam, theni will!

[abuck1220]

wow, aardsma could have gotten a bunch of runners out there.

[sweetpeteman]

Please score a lot of runs so we can have Cotts end the game in 1-2-3 fashion just for a bit of irony.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Insurance runs please. Let's go Pagan for Jones?

 

Yup, especially if Ozzie brings in the lefty, which he is...

[Coach C]

I'd pinch hit Jones with Pagan.

[Roast]

Please score a lot of runs so we can have Cotts end the game in 1-2-3 fashion just for a bit of irony.

 

that would be splendiferous.

 

Yes, i said it. Splendiferous.

[Mizzou]

Regardless of the outcome, this has really been a great game.
