This just in, it is possible for the Cubs to win despite poor managerial decisions. Film at 11.

[PrimeTime]

Carlos Marmol is one bad man.

 

Now lets anniahlate the wife beater tommorow.

[third eye]

So 20-6 in August? Wow. What is the team record for wins in a month out of curiosity?

[erik316wttn]

Fornicate you, Utley!

[TruffleShuffle]

congrats to samardzija on his first big league win

OK, whenever we're counting games the Cubs should've won but lost and game the Cubs should've lost but won, chalk this one up in the second category.

 

 

Given our pythag compared to seemingly everyone else's, I'm perfectly fine with that.

Horrible, horrible, horrible managing by Lou in the bottom of the 8th.

 

DeRo is hot, but I wouldn't have minded having him bunt if basically anyone but Cedeno was up next...and then not PHing Blanco with Soto?

 

Come on, Lou.

 

There's no way of knowing if Lou called it or if DeRo did it on his own. Len seemed to indicate that DeRo was doing it on his own...

Carlos Marmol is one bad man.

 

Now lets anniahlate the wife beater tommorow.

 

He's gotta be unavailable tomorrow, though. Not too many 5-out saves recorded anymore.

I'm just saying, during games where the Cubs are blowing a sure victory and everyone says it'll even out? This is the season evening out. :)

WINS DON'T MATTER HOW CAN YOU PUT ANY WEIGHT ON A STAT LIKE THAT

He basically threw the pitches it would take for 1 normal inning. I'd think he'd be fine, but you'd like to NOT have to use him.

Anyone know what channel Sunday's game is on?

 

Its obviously not Comcast because Len said the next CSN telecast is Weds, but WGN doesn't have it listed either and it can't be the Sunday night game cause it's at 1:20 CT... TBS maybe?

 

Cubs.com has a big old blank

Time for the pirates to prove they are not dead.

Oh, I know. I'll take it all day.

Nothing like equaling the win total of the previous year's team in August, especially when the previous team made the playoffs.
