6/21 White Sox (Contreras) at Cubs (Marquis) 12:05 WGN

Another reason why I'd like to land another reliever at the deadline. I also wouldn't mind moving Howry.

 

The Cubs don't need another reliever. The pen is fine.

Reason #378 on why Saves are stupid

 

This is a save situation

 

Woody gives up a long ball here you won't feel the same way.

Wouldn't make the situation anymore dire, this isn't a situation where the opposing team has much leverage, they don't even have the tying run at bat and they have 2 outs.

The odds of an average major-leaguer hitting a HR in any given PA is like 2%. Why manage around that possibility?

Well considering it's Cubbies75 that's saying that, it's going to happen!

Everyone needs another reliever. Always. Same goes with starters.

Agreed. I'd like to see Lieber get some more work but its all good.

Dye took second base on defensive indifference

It's fine, but I'd love to have three guys in there who can strike out the side on a given day. :D

[chuckywang]

Here comes Wood for the two out save.

 

Uh... there's 2 outs.

 

When Outshine_One said "two outs", he meant that there are already 2 outs.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wood = badass.

Good morning, good afternoon, goodnight, Swishah!

 

Time to sing!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Because of what Woody just did.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That ended a bit more stressfully than it should have, but still, CUBS WIN!!!

[inari]

I'll be there praying for the sweep tomorrow.

Aaron Miles just homered in the 1st inning. I think I'm going to cry.

[Sammy Sofa]

Too bad Wood at the end made this a sham win. Yesterday, too. Guess we'll have to suffer a sham sweep of the Sox.

[Ski]

CUBS WIN!

I love Wood so much.

 

That's what she said.
