This is actually pretty awesome. Just release him. Eat it.

[DrCub]

It's become comical at this point.

This is the one thing I hate about baseball. Instead of just winning a game 3-0 with relative ease, they have to bring in some dude designated as a closer who shouldn't even be pitching.

[RynoRules]

Rizzo prob should have had that one, but still...

[Andy]

Marmol <<< Brent Lillibridge

[Hawk4Hall]

81.00 ERA!

[UMFan83]

Kinda wasn't marmol's fault on that one....he got ahead of the hitter 0-2 and induced a weak ground ball. Edited April 4, 2013 by UMFan83

[Guancous]

Marmol's ineptitude is damn near uncanny by this point

[Smack]

just [expletive] end this Alvarez

[Omar]

On Monday and today:

Double play for the love of God.

[cubbyvirus00]

LOL COBS

[Hawk4Hall]

If Marmol is still the closer after today, Sveum should be fired.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Is that strikeout a fake rally by Marmol?

[UMFan83]

Alvarez [expletive] blows. He's looked mostly terrible this series.

[sneakypower]

i probably bring in the lefty here in hopes of a DP

[RynoRules]

Not much of an accomplishment there. Alvarez is their Soriano.

[cubbyvirus00]

Kinda wasn't marmol's fault on that one....he got ahead of the hitter 0-2 and induced a weak ground ball.

 

but we're the cobs and that simply isn't good enough

[UMFan83]

Cubs win!

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

HOLY. [expletive]. [expletive].

[MWV]

Well holy [expletive]. Cubs win.

[bcl412]

YES!
