I love how most of the time Theriot seems to have trouble getting his throws to 1st without hitting the ground and then randomly guns one into the dugout above Lee's head.

Every shot of Z in the bullpen makes my heart sad.

Pretty much. It also encourages me to drink heavily.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Braun, Fielder, McGeehee, & Edmonds are a combined 1 for 12 tonight !!

 

 

Go CUBS !!!

I got a 1.75 liter handle of Smirnoff. I shall take a shot every time Z comes out of the pen.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-5 when they hit an opposing batter.... 3-5 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Roast]

Marmol for 4 outs in a 5 run game?

Yeah, Im not sure about his use here either. But, whatever. When's the last time he pitched?

I love 2010 Marmol so much.

[Cubswin11]

Our starting rotation is going to need to start throwing with their opposite hand by the second half if they keep throwing 100+ every night. And marmol in a 5 run game?!? WTF

It kinda makes sense to use him right now with Lilly going tomorrow. His use has been relatively spaced out with all the losing, and the bullpen is likely to be called on early tomorrow unless Lilly is his usual self already and very efficient. He's going to be on a pretty tight pitch count.

[Careless]

Marmol must be averaging a 3 run lead when he comes in, wtf?
