    Cmon, NL, score. I do NOT want to see Marmol in the game for several reasons, the biggest of which is that he's already pitched enough this half.

    One thing I don't want to do is to trade actual player assets for a bench or relief "upgrade". If the Cubs were able to significantly upgrade the rotation or the lineup (at, say, CF), then I'd jump at the chance.

    Of course, the underlying purpose of the glove, in any situation, is for protection from injury. But that's just laughable.

    so basically carlos marmol's terrible stretch has been the equivalent of your $10M closer's entire season. Terrible stretch? Its been almost 2 months I think its a little more then a terrible stretch.... 5 bad outings in 2 months. Yes, ERA is a terrible way to measure a reliever's effectiveness.

    It's a baseball game. Live balls will be hit into the stands. That's the danger inherent in watching the game, really. Bringing a glove as an extra form of protection is in no way a lame excuse. If you are going to bring your kid to the game, why not bring something extra to protect him? It's not as if it's a deterrent to anyone else getting a ball, and it's not a detriment to anyone watching the game.

    You really think parents bring gloves so they can steal balls away from little kids? That's possibly the most stupid "man law" possible. Don't bring a glove as a grown man, because it's better to leave that screaming line drive to a kid to get in front of. Today I took my son to a minor league park for his first birthday. We didn't even sit near the plate, we were down the left field line in the family picnic area. Brought a glove just in case something came hard in our direction. Bottom of the 6th inning, a lefty hits a screaming liner that literally came about 6 inches from my kid's head. I threw my glove in front of his head as a deterrent, and the ball bounced off and nailed my mother-in-law in the leg. Fortunately, everyone was fine. We collected the ball and gave it to a 7-year-old nearby. It's too bad, though, that I brought my glove to prevent a kid from getting the ball.

    I for one am not saddened by the possibility of 7 days off for Kerry. I just hope he can heal up in time for the second half.

    Due to all the weird outcomes today, this game is officially gravy to me. That's not to say I don't enjoy gravy, though.

    I think my favorite part of the replay is that they barely show any emotion at all until it's over the fence 3 seconds, and then it's instant pandemonium. I'm almost glad this all happened to the Cub rivals tonight, so that Cub fans can see that the Cub bullpen not so bad.

    The Cards will likely be crushed emotionally by that loss tonight and will unravel from this point forward, just as the Cubs did after the Ankiel game-winner last Saturday.

    Probably the same reason Michaels is in the game for Nady.

    For a second there, I thought the Pirates had Jose Bautista pitching. Might not have been any worse.
  13. bukie
    The Pirates have already survived their starter. It doesn't get any worse.
  14. bukie
    Is it strange that there's a decent argument to put the entire Pittsburgh outfield in the all-star game this year?
  15. bukie
    If I learned anything from the Cubs' game today, if you're going to come all the way back from a huge deficit, you still need to get a lead to win the game.

    As long as Doumit doesn't hit into a DP, Bay will get another chance. Well, also as long as Doumit doesn't end the game here...
  17. bukie
    No, the Pirates and Reds pitched the 9th well.
  18. bukie
    No good team would blow a 6 run lead in the 8th, right?...
  19. bukie
    One more runner and the Pirates will get Bay up again.
  20. bukie
    McLouth just homered to bring the Pirates within 10-9.

    Thanks largely to Gallagher, the Cubs now have the best record in baseball and the largest divisional lead in baseball.
  22. bukie
    The game was moved from 2:55 to 12:05 sometime in the last week, so the 2:55 information (and likely the FOX information) is dated.
  23. bukie
    Don't look now, but for all the Cubs have seemed to struggle lately, they'll end the day with the best record in the majors.

    It would make me very happy to see the Gallagher/Murton trade propel the A's to the playoffs. It would make me very sad to see the Gallagher/Murton trade propel the A's to the world championship.

    Hopefully we can score enough with Harden so we don't have to finish with Wood tomorrow.
