I called espn1000 today and told them that I have a mancrush on Carlos Marmol earlier today.

 

I am crushing hard.

 

I'm the starter of the marmol bandWGN. ::pats self on back::

 

Heh, I'm pretty sure Outshined or I started one when he was in Daytona or West Tenn.

I think you've tried to start bandwagons for 80% of the players on the team

 

Hahaha. LOL. Nope only 2 or 3.

Who will be the closer when Dempster comes off the DL I wonder.

 

I don't think there's any doubt that it's Dempster's job. I love Marmol, but let's not forget how hard he tried to blow the lead last night.

It's only one game, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

 

But, if Marmol is doing well, Lou can get to stretch out Dempster and let him start.

Bit of a creepy start, but hey, welcome aboard!

oh, obligatory newb message

Great reading for the past few months, guys. I finally had to sign up so I can shoot the breeze with you all.

I don't think there's any doubt. Dempster hasn't done anything to lose the job this year, so he's still the closer.

The rotation looks pretty full, for better or for worse.

I heard you on the Silvy and Waddle show -- hilarious. BTW -- welcome to the board.

[bbum]

oh, I am glad someone caught that! When they screened the call the screener was giggling the entire time.

[Jazz]

lol, Lou mispronounced Billy's name.

[bbum]

enough about me

GO CUBS GO

Zambrano has 9 wins, that's pretty amazing for how terrible he was and for as long as he was.

[inari]

Lou looks really tired. Winning must take even more out of him than losing does.

True, but right now Marmol is throwing at an elite level, Dempster wouldn't be losing his job, more like Marmol taking it.

 

That being said, Marmol might be better off as the 8th inning type guy, when you really need a strikout.

It was really really hot today. That also will take it out of ya.

Even though I know wins are a useless stat, I always like to see them just because it looks nice. He's within a win of the NL leader.

So since they're off tomorrow... when would be a good time for me to get the next thread up?

Yeah, I know. I wonder how serious Lou was about moving Dempster to the rotation eventually.

 

I think there's no doubt that Dempster closes when he returns, but Marmol has played his way to the 8th inning reliever.

[bbum]

He could afford to lose a few more. Stick around, Lou!

Onto the bottom of the 11th in Milwaukee, still tied.
