9/26 Cubs (Dempster) @ Brewers (Suppan) 7:00pm, ESPN - CSN+

[Little Slide Rooter]

I hope that Marmol and Wood are ready for some big time abuse come October. I really dont trust any of these other guys.

[erik316wttn]

Wow I know we've already clinched but this game has been an embarassment.

 

Hoffpauir turns a routine out into a double

Hoffpauir makes a terrible baserunning mistake

Edmonds (or Theriot) misses a sign

Catcher's interference on a RP batting

Balk to advance said fat reliever

Soriano with multiple screwups

 

Ugly. I don't care if we've already clinched, it's not good to be going into the playoffs playing dumb baseball

 

They've regressed back into Dustyball.

[Careless]

first time that Fielder didn't swing at a pitch at his neck all day.

[rynefan]

Oh and be glad that Chad Gaudin hasn't had some fortunate outings and then crapped the bed after making the playoff rotation.

 

If he sucks, it's good that it's being exposed.

 

He sucks. It's exposed.

It's a shame, because he was so good before his incident.

 

And he could be good again, but now's not the time to roll the dice

[17 Seconds]

Again, I'd probably rather face the Mets, but it's foolish to think it makes a huge difference. We can easily lose to them and we could just as easily beat a superior team.

 

Not only that, but I don't want the Brewers in the playoffs. What if Sheets actually comes back healthy? Then all of a sudden they've got Sabathia/Sheets/Gallardo

[rynefan]

I hope that Marmol and Wood are ready for some big time abuse come October. I really dont trust any of these other guys.

 

Couldn't have said it better.... exactly how I feel lately

[Little Slide Rooter]

I think Gaudin is going to suck Bob Howry right onto that playoff roster.

And like half of those guys won't even be playing next week.

 

 

Come on, man. None of this matters. I MIGHT grant you that the playoff opponent thing matters (albeit not as much as people think), but how we "look" tonight means absolutely nothing. Jesus.

Howry was already on.

[FloppyMoose]

The song they played is so true.

Hope he doesn't come back.

[Careless]

Marmol coming in now=lou wants to get swept?

[rynefan]

I think Gaudin is going to suck Bob Howry right onto that playoff roster.

 

Yeah, and what does that say for the bullpen?

[YearofDaCubs]

Nice knowing ya Gaudin.

[17 Seconds]

I think Gaudin is going to suck Bob Howry right onto that playoff roster.

 

Lou said Howry already made it, which we all knew ould happen. He's going to be the 7th inning guy.

I'd rather face the Mets than the Dodgers. I think the Dodgers are going to beat us.

[chuckywang]

Wood

Marmol

Howry

Samardjia

Cotts

Marquis

Marshall

 

After Wood and Marmol our bullpen is a mess

 

Nothing the Cubs can do about it now.

I agree about the offense, but a lot of these relievers are supposed to be playing for playoff roster spots, and theyve looked nothing short of horrid. We really need these guys looking better. Maybe Randy Wells can be the guy.

 

Come on, man. None of this matters. I MIGHT grant you that the playoff opponent thing matters (albeit not as much as people think), but how we "look" tonight means absolutely nothing. Jesus.

 

I agree about the ofense, but the pen needs to be sharper. these guys are scaring me.

Lmao @ these Brewers announcers.

 

They are putting down Soriano, not mentioning how Braun is in left field. Yeah Soriano isn't the best left fielder, but Braun isn't either.

[17 Seconds]

Marmol coming in now=lou wants to get swept?

 

I bet the plan is to use Marmol tonight and then again Sunday.

[Sammy Sofa]

Sorilazy

 

Yeah, boy, what we need is Sori diving all over the field and running into walls at this point.

 

Let him get his swings while he's cold and live with the lack of defense while he attempts to not get hurt. That's the beauty of clinching this early.

[erik316wttn]

I think Gaudin is going to suck Bob Howry right onto that playoff roster.

 

Lou said Howry already made it, which we all knew ould happen. He's going to be the 7th inning guy.

 

So Lou doesn't want to hold close leads in the late innings?

 

Interesting.

[David]

Marmol coming in now=lou wants to get swept?

 

I bet the plan is to use Marmol tonight and then again Sunday.

 

It is.

[RedFlash]

I'm not going to go all "the sky is falling" but before tonight, I would have said let the "playoff team" play two games this series and then rest them on the season finale. But with the way this team has played the last week, I say don't rest your playoff starters, they need to get this "casual crap" out of their system now, of the Cubs will be out of the playoffs very quickly.

 

The Playoffs are too close for the Cubs to continue to play as casual as they have. I hope Lou nails into them after the game.

[Joe_Cub]

i feel sick again
