still waiting on Geo sexyness

And every game thread of every game of every team in the history of baseball and the interwebs thinks that the umpire is terrible.

There's an unusually high amount of ump-bashing today.

He has been very erratic on the corner.

Man, Theriot has really hit the ball hard today. I'll give him that.

 

He's hit the ball well ALL year. No one wants to admit it and it's kinda of lame how much the Theriot haters want him to fail, just so they are proven correct.

I just wish he was playing second when Sori was out and would quit running into outs in front of Lee and Rammy.

We want him in the role that he belongs: the second-best shortstop on the team. We said it before the season, and the performances have proven it out (though not in the way we expected).

[Andy]

Seriously, it is simply unfair to force hitters to attempt to play against him.

I'm going to hate when Marmol is unavailable against St. Louis tomorrow. But that's a worry for another day.

[illiniguy]

Is it hill or lilly tomorrow?

[Andy]

Hill, Lilly, Marquis

Just the same, I'd rather him in here to preserve a slight lead against the Brewers than plan ahead for maybe needing to use him an inning tomorrow in St. Louis.

sit down fatty

Marmol is ridiculous.

[illiniguy]

Marmol is amazing.

Stupid caveman.

I think it's ludicrous to state that Cubs fans here want Theriot to fail.

[illiniguy]

That was weak.

Just for discussion, the pitching matchups this weekend

 

Hill vs. Wainwright

Lilly vs. Superma- I mean Loshe

Marquis vs. Wellemeyer

Welly's revenge? Fun times.

[UMFan83]

I am legitimately scared of Bill Hall here.

They will sweep us. That is like Walter Johnson, Sandy Koufax, and Carlos Marmol facing us.

Seriously. I'm loving Theriot's production. If he keeps it up he can stay in the 2-hole all year. But he's better suited as a backup as long as Ronny is on this team.

Realistically, these are even matchups. Taking into account how they've all pitched so far this year, though, the Cubs could have a rough go of it this weekend.
