6/22 White Sox (Vasquez) at Cubs (Dempster) 7:05 ESPN

Let's wrap this up so I can go to bed

[justin23iu]

Good, I was afraid we weren't going to be able to see that "Thriller" commercial any more tonight :roll:

[RynoRules]

Good pull by Lou.

[E.J.]

Take him out now.

Because he gave up a tapper to third?

 

Because he's a starter who was a reliever last year and isn't used to pitching this many innings. He's up over 100 pitches. He needs to be taken out.

Good pull by Lou.

 

That's what he said.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Howry?

 

Are we ever going to let Jon Lieber or Michael Wuertz pitch?

 

Liebers been arueably our most consistant arm out of the bullpen, aside from Marmol. I dont know why Lou doesnt use him more. In all honesty, if Lou has so many relievers hes cant trust to do anything, we need to get some new guys in there. He cant just work the same guys to death because the rest are in his dog house.

Howry; there's a GIDP waiting for you on Line 1, please pick up!

[RynoRules]

Howry?

Resting Lieber as much as possible is smart considering that we don't know where Z will be when he gets off the DL.

Fair enough. I was just thrown by the timing of your post I guess.

Why is Wood up?

[17 Seconds]

Ugh Lou

[Fred Hornkohl]

Crede popped out to second base

[BCVM22]

1 away.

[Master Shake]

Why is Wood up?

 

Soooo many things could be said about that post.

[Sorianos hop]

one away

At the risk of getting banned, that joke will have to be left sitting on the tee.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Howry?

Zambrano isn't du to pitch until July 4. I don't think that should have any bearing on using Lieber here.

 

Lieber needs to get some work in so he isn't too rusty if we do need him.

[badger1679666666]

Why is Wood up?

 

In case Howry gives up a Bomb and it turns into a save opportunity?

[RynoRules]

Why is Wood up?

 

B/c a 3 run dong puts us in save-land.

[Mizzou]

Why is Wood up?

(she said)

 

No clue. No reason for him to be though.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 16-8 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 32-19 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[CubsBears29]

Howry; there's a GIDP waiting for you on Line 1, please pick up!

 

 

"Mr Howry, GIDP is still on hold."

Yes there is. A HR.

I phrased that badly - what I meant was that Liebs could be needed for much long relief without Z in the rotation and/or if Z has to stay on the DL beyond July 4th.
