Really? We are talking about the Tribune here, I'm surprised they didn't give them a longer deal. They proved that they were completely inept at running a baseball team. They did a terrible job of maximizing revenues. The die was cast when they failed to buy up the neighborhood in 1981. They could have bought every surrounding structure for chump change. Why 1981?

If he's getting squeezed there's still a world of difference between "can't hit the strike zone" and "putting a hittable fastball over the plate," which seem to be his two main options right now.

Hey, a black, metrosexual Abe Lincoln is a GOOD thing.
-
I can't go Opening Day, so is anyone interested in the pair?
-
Again, a setup role is often more important/stressful than closing. -
Well, that's simply not true. "Personal dislike?"
-
Yeah, neither would I.

So go away.

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

Can o' corn duck snort get down stretch you can put it on the board....YES HE GONE "CAN O' CORN INTO A BEAVER DAM" might be my favorite one. -
So the avatar pic ISN'T just some kind of clever, squished beyond recognition joke?
-
Well, mostly for the DFA thing, but now you've taken a pretty commanding lead.

Neck and neck between cubbyvirus and illiniguy.

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. 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?
-
Well, yeah, DFA is a stupid option right now; I'm just saying the way it played out didn't really fill me with much confidence. I'd love it if the latter half of the the PA's lead to him righting the ship.
-
Well, bringing the tying run to the plate with no outs is pretty shitty. Yeah, he followed it up with a k and two grounders, but that he was in that situation in the first place given the type of pitcher he is is problematic (especially since guys were hitting him and not just walking on).

but we're the cobs STOP.
-
MIRACLE.

I like this guy.
-
Yessssssss.

Meatballs everywhere just creamed their pants.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF YOU.

That play was annoying, but it's kinda incredible how absolutely horrible he looks at the plate.
-
Eh, McCutchen looks horrible, too. It won't last.

Valbuena is somehow even more embarrassing than Lillibridge.
