This was supposed to be an argument in favor of keeping Marmol in there?? Lou doesn't use any pitcher besides Marmol and Marshall (and soon Z) unless we're down by 3. Are you really worried that Jeff Gray would be too gassed to come in to some important spot because he was used with a 7 run lead? He's not pitching after the 5th inning anyway. With Lilly being activated, someone, probably between Berg, Samardjzjia, and Gray is going to Iowa. This would have been a good time to give one of them a chance to prove himself. Wait, are you saying that that in any way putting out the guy they know will go back down would have been a good idea? Guh? -

Nasty. Way to reign in that pitch count, Marmol. CUBS WIN!

tha's a pretty amusing read http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9Bmaq23Hpe8/S9GwNQHMuoI/AAAAAAAABnA/Fg8hWA-Be4I/s1600/Threat+Level+Ted+2.jpg

Why? He hasn't worked a whole ton recently and we're in the middle of a 19-game stretch w/out an off day. Plus Lilly is coming back w/ a pitch count tomorrow. Marmol looks to be on tonight, I have no doubt he can mow through the bottom of this order fairly quickly. No reason to waste another pitcher that we may need tomorrow. Eh, with a 7 run lead you can toss one guy out there and just let them finish it. It's good work for a bullpen that desperately needs more experience because it gives the pitcher a ton of room to make some mistakes.
-
It really is disheartening how Lou manages his bullpen.
-
Alright, Tyler...you are forgiven for bumping Soriano in the middle of a hot streak.
-
Yeah, Marmol should not be coming out again...but of course he will.
-
!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, Im not sure about his use here either. But, whatever. When's the last time he pitched? Wednesday when he pitched in a blowout It kinda makes sense to use him right now with Lilly going tomorrow. His use has been relatively spaced out with all the losing, and the bullpen is likely to be called on early tomorrow unless Lilly is his usual self already and very efficient. He's going to be on a pretty tight pitch count. So Marmol is less likely to be needed tomorrow when the bullpen has been depleted by the 8th, or are you just sacrificing the game? Marmol can't pitch in back to back games all of a sudden? That's sort of essential with a closer.

Dempster threw 111 pitches. Hardly the end of the world.

Every shot of Z in the bullpen makes my heart sad.

I love how most of the time Theriot seems to have trouble getting his throws to 1st without hitting the ground and then randomly guns one into the dugout above Lee's head.
-
[expletive], Theriot.
-
Wow, that was stupid baserunning.
-
BEAUTIFUL.
-
LULZ at the replay of Fukudome's HR and dumb ass Edmonds climbing the wall like he had a chance.
-
Dempster's on pace to go 7. Just get through the 8th and then Marmol and go home happy.
-
Wow, the Brewers' pitching is baaaaaaaaaaaaad.
-
I love Greg Zaun's work as half of The Mighty Boosh. http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Mighty+Boosh+DVD+Signing+Other+Music+New+York+1tjsspOf2E0l.jpg

Wow, epic slide by Byrd. He just crushed the catcher out of his way with his feet and sent him spinning. Nice throw by Gomez, though.
-
Well done, Chad.
-
Wow. That was a really impressive play by Escobar.
-
I know it's 2 outs, but I'm a little surprised they don't just walk Lee here.
