LOL @ everyone giving up on our offense after 1 inning

 

I love NSBB

 

We're not giving up, we're acknowledging how the entire year has been up to this point.

I would rather let Cashner have a shot.

What's up with Padilla? Haven't heard anything from him in a long time. Definite pass on Smoltz though.

He has swine flu for starters.

I thought Cashner was a late inning bullpen arm?

Is there a way to turn only John Smoltz's world back to 1992 and then have him wear a Cubs uniform in our present day world?

[Roast]

Oh lovely. I left the county fair and got in the car just in time to hear SEAN MARSHALL start giving up runs. I was, needless to say, confused until I realized we probably just played another round of the DL Merry-go-round.

 

Lovely.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jimenez struck out swinging

[bcl412]

Love the effort.

He's started all year.

His .88 ERA starting for Tennessee disagrees.

Doing a great job of starting in AA, but he's nowhere near ready.

I know, but neither are John or Vincente.

[illiniguy]

Where did that miss?

[Keener98]

call a [expletive] strike blue

[bcl412]

How many pitches does Marshall throw? This might be his last inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fowler tripled to down the right field line

[DiamondMind]

Wow he's fast.

[illiniguy]

Wow he's fast.

he should have been fsat back to the dugout.

[bcl412]

Wow he's fast.

 

It didn't even look like he was running that hard.

[Outshined_One]

I know, but neither are John or Vincente.

 

I'd rather not burn an option with him, though, especially considering the Cubs have had him on a strict pitch count pretty much every start. There are options at AAA who could fill in if need be. They're not good options, but they're options nonetheless.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 9-11 when the opponent triples.... 48-38 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
