4/4 Cubs (Wood) @ Pittsburgh (McDonald) 11:35 AM CT WGN/720

I like how Marmol was pumping everyone up after the DP, meanwhile everyone else probably wanted to pummel him with socks filled with soap.

#marmol is trending

On the bright side, I think it took us 5 or 6 series to get a series win last year.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Another shout out to Nasty Nate for saving Marmol's ass with that homer.

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

 

Marmol is likely the closer because the FO wants him to create some semblance of trade value and feels it has little to lose...I doubt Sveum actually wants to run him out there in those situations.

[Jake]

Catch you guys next series.

if Fujikawa were given the closers job and Marmol could shine in the set up role, would he really lose much trade value? Most contenders already have a closer and when looking for pen help are more in the market for 7-8 inning guys anyway.

So you want to put Marmol into more of a high pressure role?

So, what are the popular candidates for Jump To Conclusions Week from today?

[davell]

We're going to like Schierholtz a lot. Same with Fuji. Great pickups this offseason.

Neck and neck between cubbyvirus and illiniguy.

For saying the marmol thing is a charade?

 

I really wish you'd die in a fire huts. No offense though.

[Guest]

You seem like you're having a real good day today.

[illiniguy]

You seem like you're having a real good day today.

I said that running marmot out was a charade and that were still in first place. That's it. Then was attacked by one of the funny guys. But yeah, bad day.

[Sammy Sofa]

Well, mostly for the DFA thing, but now you've taken a pretty commanding lead.

[illiniguy]

I never said anything about DFAing anyone.

[Sammy Sofa]

So the avatar pic ISN'T just some kind of clever, squished beyond recognition joke?

[sneakypower]

why would you want a funny guy to die in a fire?

Oh, that was Old Style. I mix you guys up a lot.

[illiniguy]

So basically you were just being you. Hard to believe we have so many posters left around here.

[Sammy Sofa]

So go away.

[jersey cubs fan]

A fire hut sounds fun, but dangerous

just put him on ignore

[gflore34]

It's a difficult problem with Marmol, you want to run him out and hopefully be effective. Thereby, giving him some semblence of trade value but, in this process he may blow several games. We all know the Cubs are not playoff bound, etc. but, I believe they'd still want to win as many games as possible.

[bcl412]

A lot of bitchiness in this thread. We won today guys.
