8/14: Cubs (Lilly) @ Braves (Glavine) 6:10p CDT CSN

[PrimeTime]

LOL ..Marmol does it like it's nothing..Get the hell off this team , Bob

[VanceJergins]

Isn't Lieber ready to come back?

[kujay]

Wow, Carlos. Wow.

 

Does this mean Woody is the closer again?

[JonnyRed]

Can you imagine Howry in a meaningful spot in the playoffs?

 

AHH! He better be off the team by then.

 

He had better not be on the playoff roster, even.

 

Anyone in the minors we can call up to replace him if he gets DFA'ed?

 

How's Wuertz doing?

 

Not that great.

 

Would it be too much to ask for Guzman? What about Acencio (sp?)

[Brian]

With Lou not pitching Marmol in two straight games yesterday with two days off before, I'm pretty sure he was coming in this game no matter the lead.

Hart. Piggy. Anyone with two arms.

As long as those guys have the necessary arm, I'd rather see them go Jim Abbott than see Howry on the roster.

[Brian]

Wow, Carlos. Wow.

 

Does this mean Woody is the closer again?

 

Lou announced that before todays game or after yesterdays

[Hall7810]

Wuertz and Ascanio have been bad the last couple weeks.

[kujay]

Wow, Carlos. Wow.

Thanks, missed that.

[PrimeTime]

I would love to have Guzman up. Having all those right-handed flamethrowers would be sweet.

[Ivy.n.Denver]

I know some of you may disagree with me but I think Marmol is a better pitcher than Howry

[UMFan83]

can't believe marmol has to pitch tonight

 

Eh he could probably use the work, not having been used since Sunday

[erik316wttn]

Wuertz and Ascanio have been bad the last couple weeks.

 

Howry has been bad all year. Therefore, he loses.

[Brian]

Looks like poor Yunel is crying on the bench

[tenritsu]

Was expecting us to go to 9th with a big lead by now, but I see soapdropping howry does it again...

[98navigator]

Thank you Marmol.

Unless Piggy's improved in the last 60 days or so, I don't want to see him up here.

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow, that Braves fan with the cup contraption...

[kujay]

Wow, that Braves fan with the cup contraption...

 

That was pretty neat.

 

Cards won, if I'm still supposed to care.

[weis21]

I realize that he's 38, but could Hector Carrasco be any worse than Howry? He's put up pretty solid numbers at AAA. Anybody have a very brief report on his stuff/velocity?

[Little Slide Rooter]

We love you Reed.

[Brian]

does that white line that holds up the netting confuse anybody else? I thought that was way foul, it was screwing with me yesterday also

[CubColtPacer]

Nunez threw 53 pitches yesterday for the Braves, and he's right back out there today.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I mentioned him before. I was damn near crusified.

I'd cry too if I was that big of a pansy.
