I imagine Erik is on the NSBB login page right about now.

[C.C.]

What a joke.

[genbar]

Piece of crap pen.

[Andy]

Remember when we took Silva out after 71 pitches?

[Ihatepujols]

i [expletive] hate baseball soooo much

[Magnetic Curses]

wow. i'm sure glad that they pulled silva.

[Cubswin11]

Get em' tomorrow. Can't say we didn't have our chances we should have scored over 5 runs with the way Bailey pitched tonight.

[Soul]

There's one bullpen experiment that has failed.

[UMFan83]

Would have been nice if the Cubs got more runs off a pitcher who was clearly struggling tonight.

i like baseball, just hate the cubs

[Outshined_One]

He kept pounding the same freaking spot with his fb over and over again. He did not move it around and his offspeed stuff was missing badly.

 

He's young and he'll learn, but whoever called that sequence is an idiot.

[Guest]

Awesome bullpen.

[Old Style]

Pathetic. Disgustingly pathetic.

[NotSoSober]

So who will be the 8th inning guy next game? Surely not Grabow or Cardidad.

[A New Era]

yeah why do you take out silva after 6 innings when he easily could go 1 or even 2 more the way he was going. What is he on a pitch count or something?

[Roast]

Well...if we ever get out of this inning we do have the right part of the order due up..

[C.C.]

I hate caring about this [expletive] team. I know it's only the 4th game of the year but I'm pulling a erik!

Well we knew the bullpen was going to be an experiment coming into this season. So far the results? They've blown 50% of the games so far in the 8th inning.

[Sammy Sofa]

The biggest problem with the bullpen is Lou. He can't even manage a decent one to save his life, so it's just going to be even worse with one that you have to actually think about.

[Andy]

It's all good, at least the Bulls are losing to the worst team in the NBA with a playoff spot on the line.
