[Little Slide Rooter]

On the kind of bright side, we didnt bench everyone when we had a 7 run lead.

This pitcher is a righty killer. Reed sucks against righties. I don't like this matchup at all

[CubsNSkers07]

Please walk multiple guys walker

[Soul]

WHAT THE F**K, LOU?!?!?!

 

And I don't care how much he hits, Theriot ---SOAPDROPPING--- sucks defensively at SS.

 

The thing is Marmol should be able to get 3 giants out without giving up 5 runs anyways. Theriots play should have never happened if Marmol does his job.

 

Theriot's trying to end the game in an obviously tough situation. It's Lou's horrible managing and Marmol's shredded arm that is to blame here, not Ryan

I blame Marmol. I blame lou for not taking marmol out. i don't blame theriot. He was desparate, and he saw that marmol was sucking. It was not a good decision, but I understand it.

 

It was a terrible decision. He was on his back and a runner was on third base. If he botched that throw, the runner could score easily from third.

 

I don't understand it at all.

Swing at the strikes Reed, you dumbass.

[E.J.]

To extras we go. Nice work bullpen!

[PrimeTime]

Lou is a freaking idiot. Talk about overmanaging,jesus..He leaves guys liek Cotts and Gaudin to face like 1 or 2 batters.Then Marmol out there to get assaulted by the Giants. My God, this is an embarassing game

[C.C.]

Damn what a depressing Saturday.

[UMFan83]

Watch the strikes, swing at the balls.

[Bote McBoteface]

Nice one Reed. Well, win or lose this game was [expletive] pathetic. Time to find something else to do, I don't even want to watch. Edited July 12, 2008 by Enn Tea

Thanks Lou!

[Andy]

Carlos Marmol had better be going on the DL. Just give him some damn rest and have him work whatever this is out with somebody. I don't want to SEE him in a game until this is figured out.

[CubsNSkers07]

Harden 1-0 as a Cub..... oh nevermind our bullpen shows holes once again or I mean marmol does and a reliable old marmol would be very nice please.

Yeah that was an awful decision. Even if he some how made a perfect throw, one that has maybe a 5% chance of being perfect, I'm not sure if he gets the out in time anyways.

[Outshined_One]

I'm officially in bitter and hostile mode.

I'm going to laugh if Marmol comes out to start the 10th

[illiniguy]

But lets get on ESPN because they expect the Cubs to choke. Edited July 12, 2008 by illiniguy

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marshall in to pitch for the CUBS

Thanks Lou!

 

I don't think they have a damn thing to laugh about considering the way their bullpen has performed.

 

Oh, and their $10M closer.
