I'd prefer Marmol here, but aside from that wild Rockies game, Howry has lights out in save situations.

 

I fully understand the love for Marmol, but I can't understand why everybody hates Howry.

I don't hate him at all. He's a good pitcher. A very good pitcher.

 

I wasn't singling you out, just wondering aloud since so many don't want him closing.

 

K! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

[TysonCBulls423]

my favorite song :D

 

5 over!

[Banedon]

What a great win....

 

Can we quit the massive overreactions to every little error or run now??

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Cubs Win! I'll draw for the Scott Servais card a little later tonight.

[squally1313]

I love this team.

No.

[abuck1220]

good lord, sutcliffe, just admit hill pitched well...he gave credit to the "attitude," piniella, the middle of the order, and "team defense."

[Mizzou]

CUBS WIN!!!

 

Haha, yeah Sut... this is the same team as last year. I like him, but he says some pretty dumb stuff.

[shnsajax]

Sutcliff almost sticking it to Baker, saying this is the same team as last year, just with a different attitude.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Theriot really loving it. He's getting into it.

He scares me honestly. Earlier this year he wasn't so good, and that makes me think bad things.

 

I can kind of understand that, but he's been very solid since then for the most part and the turnaround could have been fully expected (judging by his numbers).

[CyHawk_Cub]

So different from early in the year... If we're close late, I ALMOST expect to win...wow!!

[Andy]

What a great win....

No.

Sorry Banedon, but at the time that was a pretty huge error.

 

Still...we did it again.

 

16 out of 20.

 

I cannot fathom what is happening right now.

[Banedon]

What a great win....

 

Can we quit the massive overreactions to every little error or run now??

 

No.

 

I figured as much...:P

[Omar]

I wanted Sutcliffe as color commentator in 2005 instead of Brenly.

 

Nevermind.

I've said the same thing, but people lectured me that Game Threads are irrational so I just make sure I don't make ridiculous comments like that and hope it stops on their own.

 

Though if the best record in baseball over the past month and half and all these great character wins can't stop it, nothing will.

Yeah, it's the same team - except for the catcher, 1B, 2B, SS, LF, RF and 3/5 of the starting rotation.

[Iceblink]

Sutcliff almost sticking it to Baker, saying this is the same team as last year, just with a different attitude.

 

Almost identical...except for those two additional starting pitchers, a new second baseman, shortstop, right fielder, centerfielder, and left fielder.

[inari]

As I said earlier, you gotta love this team. Let's go get em again tomorrow with our new boy, Jason Kendall.

[Banedon]

Um...Ravech just said the Kendall deal was for Marshall....that's bunk right?

[Mizzou]

F you Karl Ravech

[Wilmo]

Ahhh yesssss. Que my music please. :D :D :D :D

[CyHawk_Cub]

I wanted Sutcliffe as color commentator in 2005 instead of Brenly.

 

Nevermind.

 

LOL!! I was in the same camp... Nevermind for me also.

[Exile on Waveland]

ESPN still thinks the Cubs gave up Marshall. Then Ravech said Bonds "shouldn't be playing the way he's hitting." Wow. Edited July 17, 2007 by Exile on Waveland

[Andy]

So far as I know.
