6/12 Braves (Hudson) @ Cubs (Zambrano), 1:20 WGN & WGN720

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Mike Wuertz hasn't pitched since the jerseys they are in were fashionable and we're sending Z and Dempster out there to throw 120 pitches. Knock it off, Lou.

[swordsman]

Looks like Lou was playing a hunch or something. At least he pulled the trigger as soon as he could.

 

Gatorade coolers, beware!

[E.J.]

Great managing Lou. Nice work you idiot.

[C.C.]

My god that was just really, really stupid!

[Andy]

Wow, thanks Lou. Good move. If you had no illusions of letting Z keep going there was even less reason to let him hit.

[Careless]

Newegg needs to get rid of those stupid packing peanuts

[jersey cubs fan]

I like that move. Because now, Piniella can now take out Zambrano and bring in a reliever, without having to double-switch. It didn't work out, but the Cubs do have their order turned over for the 8th, and I have feeling the Cubs will score 3 in the 8th.

 

What? You never have to double switch. The lineup was going to be turned over regardless.

[BigSlick]

don't give up any runs you idiots

[TruffleShuffle]

that really is up there with marmol in a 6-run lead as dumbest managerial decision of the year. my mind is boggled.

[Ski]

Why do I have the terrible feeling the Braves are going to break it open in this inning?

[BigSlick]

well thats game

[Andy]

This loss is on the offense, then Lou.

[inari]

It's irritating to see that Z's ERA is going to go up because Lou's one of the worst managers in baseball.

[CubsGM]

Awesome

[TysonCBulls423]

Marmol?

I understand that, but like Baker, Piniella does have a habit to double switch (remember the game he double switch Derrek Lee out of the game?), and if that option is not present to Piniella, the better.

[Ski]

Marmol time?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Kevin Hart in a one-run game with the bases loaded.

Walking the bases loaded right now.

[TruffleShuffle]

i wouldn't go that far, since chances are the hitter who would've batted for zambrano would've gotten out anyway, but lou certainly hurt the cubs' chances of winning this game.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Marmol?

 

No. He can't pitch in every single close game for the rest of the season.

[BigSlick]

Why isn't Marmol coming in

 

HOW CAN YOU MANAGE SO BADLY

[E.J.]

This game is over. Thanks Lou.

??????????? You aren't making any sense. The 9 spot was up in the order. You pinch hit, then insert a reliever the next inning. The double switch wouldn't have even been a realistic option unless they sent about 6 more guys to the plate that inning.

[Mark_R]

I think you have to bring Marmol in here. The Cubs need K's to get out of this unscathed.

 

Also, did anybody else think that Tex had some cement in his shoes? Damn, he's slow!
