[TruffleShuffle]

i remember there was a crappy made for tv movie where st louis got wiped out by a tornado and the arch fell over. why can't that happen in real life? :(

[Outshined_One]

So, who wants to take bets on what Lou's overreaction of the day will be after this loss?

 

My money's on demoting Marquis to the long man role and going to the four man rotation.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This sucks. I'm going to try to be optimistic, but my students better not ef with me tommorrow.

 

I absolutely hate the poopbird Cardinals.

[Irrelevant Dude]

You would think we'd be playing better with Bobby Bonds in the leadoff spot...

Umpire wanted to go home. Two low crap strikes in a row.

KZone had them as strikes.

[C.C.]

At least Marmol got some rest

[Andy]

The Cardinals are going to win the division. I can just feel it. It will be the most befuddling of all their crap titles.

care to wager?

 

this offer is open to the whole board.

I don't make wagers on things I say when I'm frustrated.

Gasp! This is a FAMILY site.

this just in, k zone is wrong a lot

I could live with that. Gallagher to rotation to replace him would be better, but demoting Marquis would be fine.

I'm not even close to taking it, but I am greatly disappointed with how this team has played in the last 2 weeks.

 

EDIT: Especially considering our rotation, with Hill in flux and Marquis continuing to suck in short outings, a 2 week tailspin can mean worse things in the future

At least Marmol got some rest

He's all rested and ready to go 3 innings tomorrow to preserve a 5 run lead.

[Flames24Rulz]

And the inevitable losing two of three to the Reds will just cap this terrific week of Cubs baseball.

but it's ESPN's OFFICIAL KZone. How could it be wrong?

I don't hate the move as much as a lot of people here do.

I hope they get a 5 run lead

[ELCABALLO45]

Do the Cubs play Monday?

As I said before, who are we going to believe? An objective system or the partisan eyes of fans watching from a skewed camera angle.

Can he demote Marquis to another team?
