Lou said on the radio pregame show that Marmol will close today if there is a save situation.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

well then there better not be a save situation, cause pitching Marmol today would be frakking dumb

Dear Cubs offense,

 

Please score 9458236598237954729057902395709279021840925 runs so that Marmol doesn't need to be used today. Um'kay?

 

Thx a bunch,

 

Cubs fans.

yep. He also said he's going to start pushing the starters harder, to try and help save the bullpen. I don't want Demp throwing another 120 pitches today, or Harden tomorrow.

Maybe he's just saying that so the Marlins don't know he's unavailable. I hope that's the case anyway.

[Derwood]

wouldn't surprise me of marmol pitched today regardless of the situation.

 

okay, maybe a little

[Careless]

That's what I imagine the Star Spangled Banner would sound like if sung by a princess in a Disney cartoon

[haubrich91]

That was scary.

[Derwood]

more quality routes to balls in the OF

[Choonch]

How come Friday afternoon games no longer start at 2:20?

[Derwood]

wow, that's a rocket down the line. Gonzalez can still hit

Hasn't been that way for 2 years now. I forgot the exact reasoning though.

[CubsBears29]

Demps is getting smoked early on, and wind is blowing out today... *gulp*

[haubrich91]

Wow, that was less than a foot off the line.

[Hall7810]

Cubs pitchers love throwing hittable 0-2, 1-2, pitches.

[UMFan83]

Gonzo murders Dempster lifetime. I'm assuming that's why he's hitting 2nd.

Cubs agreed to move them to 1:20 to address neighborhood traffic concerns. I think they might have gotten extra night games in exchange, too.

[B]

I had no idea Louis Gonzalez still played. I've heard his name a few times this year, but I just thought it was another Louis Gonzalez.

There was another Luis Gonzalez at one point. Not sure if he still plays.

I like this 2:20 start! It's about time the world accepted EST.

[TysonCBulls423]

Demp's got a good splitter so far

[UMFan83]

If players like Adam Dunn are 3 true outcomes (HR, K, BB), is Mike Jacobs 2 true outcomes?

Chicago should be in EST. I like it getting dark at 9:45 in the summer

I can see why, Demp should have k'd him on that pitch that bored back ove rthe plate, well before the double.

Well, that's not good.
