Why does Marmol get more boos than Wood? He was just as bad!

Is this a serious question? Wood basically won our only playoff series in any of our lifetimes single handedly.

What's that got to do with blowing the second game in a row?

Nothing, but it's why the average meathead cub fan will always love Kerry Wood.

You don't just get cheered or booed based on what you did on that day. Wood has a lot more built-up goodwill than Marmol. The fact that he got booed at all is a bit surprising.

I guess you answered my original question

[Benchwarmer]

Might be time for Kerry Wood to hang it up.

 

Two years too late.

 

But he's good for the youngsters to show what it takes.

 

He's a legend.

Why is DeJesus running?

Why is DeJesus running?

 

Aggressivity.

I completely forgot it was still only the 8th.

Reed fighting to not take a walk here.

Reed fighting to not take a walk here.

 

Mission accomplished.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

At least Johnson had three strikeouts to go with his moderately well-struck hit.

 

We were one ball away from a sure Ian Stewart Hero moment.

He gritted the crap out of that K.

Cubs v. Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez: 10.2 IP, 12 H, 5 R, 4 BB, 11 K

Cubs v. Nationals bullpen: 6.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K

Today that made a lot of sense. We stacked up with mediocre righties who can at least kind of hit the lefty, then we didn't adjust to the right-handed bullpen.

 

 

Pat Hughes is already shilling tomorrow's game with the weather and no mention of the team itself.

Stewart increases his OPS to a Bondsian 1.250.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Stewart increases his OPS to a Bondsian 1.250.

 

It would be so, so awesome if he's good.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Henry Rodriguez? There's an ex-Cub name I hadn't thought about in a long time.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Rodriguez hits 100 there.

[Guest]

They had to tease us by designating DeWitt for assignment before bringing him back.

2-for-2. The 2013 draft is going be my time to shine!

[Fro]

:good: Going to be an awesome year, enough grit, hustle, small ball, and decent starting pitching to stay in games long enough to blow them in the later innings.

[J.R.]

Hopefully Marmol cleans up his act in time to command a halfway decent return.

 

Wood and Marmol are now both sporting identical 27.00 ERAs and 6.00 WHIPs after two appearances. Marmol has given up four hits in his inning of work. In Sept./Oct. 2010, he pitched 15 2/3 innings and allowed just two hits.
