[weis21]

These are the worst announcers I've ever heard.

Sadly, Steve Phillips may be a better announcer then he was a GM.

[Andy]

Carlos Marmol continues to make his case for a setup man as MVP

[Careless]

Great job, Marmol! I hope your arm holds up!

[Sammy Sofa]

Marmol is a god.

[ctcf]

Can he got a save for that inning just because?

[haubrich91]

I love Marmol.

[salukifudd]

Could someone PhotoShop a fireman's outfit on Marmol? That would be sweet.

[killthegoat06]

Why isn't marmol a starter? Didn't he convert from starter to reliever in the minor leagues? Why?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 23-1 when they lead after 8 innings
