i want to punch corey hart in his ugly face. eat a burger you skinny bastard.

[Brian]

Marmol must be tired, no K :(

[illiniguy]

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

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.

He can't stay in the two hole if he is going to keep making outs on the bases though.

KKKK

 

I'm glad you put the fourth K on there.

1.2 superclutch, high-leverage innings today for Marmol. Fangraphs puts his Win Percentage Added at .247. Huge.

 

He might be able to pass Papelbon with this performance for Most Valuable Reliever using my pet stat:

He can stay in the two hole as long as he hits .340 even if he gets an out on the base paths once every five games.

I know Marmol hadn't pitched for nearly a week that's why he came in yesterday....but it really sucks if there is a close game tomorrow. I think he could still go 1 inning or get a tough out or 2 if needed tomrorow.

He's been hitting very well compared to what we could expect of him. But that's only good enough to make him Henry Blanco to Ronny Cedeno's Geovany Soto.

[C.C.]

Let's score a couple more to put this game outta reach.

[Brian]

hate you hart

[illiniguy]

I wish someone would hit Corey Hart with a truck.

[Careless]

Is Wood up in he pen?

yep

[bukie]

Do the Brewers still have 14 pitchers? Curious because the P spot is up second in the ninth. Kapler and Hardy are left, I know, and the backup C.

[TruffleShuffle]

I wish someone would hit Corey Hart with a truck.

 

he might get better looking if that happens

If he ever has a play at the plate against Soto he will be.

[He can stay in the two hole as long as he hits .340 even if he gets an out on the base paths once every five games.

 

Just for fun, assuming Theriot has 4 ABs on average over those five games, a ~3.40 average would result in him being about 7/20 over that span. With an out on the basepaths every five games, that would be equivalent to him having a .300 average.

 

Ouch.

i had to go find this...

 

Hopefully Riot hurries up his return to reality so we can bench him when Alf returns.

[Brian]

YES.

it seriously looks like his shirt is about to burst open. what a fatty.

[bukie]

Honestly, I'd rather have Theriot than Soriano batting at this point in the year.

[PrimeTime]

Kouske is freakin awsome...I just ordered his jersey,I don't know if it's gonna be to big or not, but if it is, I'll sell it to anyone on here if they want it.
