Strike 3, Ball 2.

[Old Style]

Now he's squeezing the strike zone?!?!

When you [expletive] suck as bad as Marmol, you won't get the borderline calls.

Squeezed Russell too.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Man, I thought that was dropping off the bat. Phew.

[mul21]

Marmol and Soriano still stink.

 

Soriano did not stink last year, so if he stinks now, it's not "still."

When you look at his contract he did. He's a tremendous bust.

 

Nope. Try again.

[Guest]

Was worried that thing was going to drop in.

 

Fujikawa coming in.

[Hawk4Hall]

Here comes the Cubs real closer.

Yeah, on that front he can screw off.

[Schwarber Fan]

So Fujikawa would get this save, right? Edited April 1, 2013 by Rondon Fan

Actually, no, he's not. He was worth about $16 million last year and been worth about $76 million overall.

Aldolfo Soriano is still awesome.

Soriano did force Hendry at gunpoint to sign him to the deal, so I guess you have a point.

 

Soriano was worth $16.4M last year, barely underperforming his salary.

[mul21]

So Fukijawa would get this save, right?

 

Yep, all three outs or the tying run at least in the on deck circle.

He does have a tremendous bust, though.

If the Cubs were supposed to contend, it'd be really cool if they would ditch the 'closer' role entirely - but I'm sure Theo's hoping someone will overpay him for a closer at the deadline, so they probably won't ditch it.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So Fukijawa would get this save, right?

 

Correct.

 

Also, Marmol gets a hold.

[mookie]

So, Shark was stellar! Castro and Rizzo are studs. Marmol lost his job.

 

Epic opening day!!!

Bro, manzier, or statue?

[Guest]

CUBS WIN!!

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

YES.

[Guest]

Cubs win!!!!

[Sammy Sofa]

YES. Cubs win! Fun Opening Day!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Two pitch save.

 

Your new Cubs closer ladies and gentlemen!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yes.

 

Anyone who says draft position is better than this at this point in this season can eat a whole bag of monkey scrotum.

Statuesque, even.
