these fat slobs on the brewers are disgusting to watch

Has anyone noticed that CC is overweight?

dont act suprised guys, its not like milwaukee is a bastion of intellectualism and education

whats with the echo

can we please move this guy off the roster already. he is awful.

hahaaha

Unleash Castillo on him

these mongoloids are way too excited about getting lucky in july

this game is dumb

Give it a break. It sucks that Marmol won't be available when we might actually need him tomorrow or the day after, but if this kind of use ruins Marmol's arm then he wasn't going to last very long without an injury anyways. This move was stupid because of strategy - not because of injury related junk. At least in my opinion that is... You're welcome to your opinion, but I believe Marmol is still on pace to be near the top in innings for a reliever. Many others have started to notice Marmol is beginning to labor under the pressure. It's not just me. And I mean really, you're just dismissing that Marmol won't be available if we have a close game tomorrow. That gets the "oh well too bad" treatment? What is Marmol on the staff for anyway? You know he's not here to eat up innings with a big lead. We've got other pitchers for that, why not use the guys for why they are here? Umm I didn't dismiss that he won't be available tomorrow. I said that is why it was a bad move. I called it a bad strategic move. How is that even close to dismissing it? And regarding Marmol - he used to be a starting pitcher, and has no history of injuries. I'm going to guess that guys who are in the bullpen who are former starters and have no history of injury aren't that likely to get hurt as others....of course I have no evidence of that. Also, looking at his inning count can be somewhat misleading since a lot of his innings he was pretty dominant and threw few pitches.

i don't know which is more infuriating: using marmol AND wood for no reason tonight. or another bad outing for marmol

It was a good move to use Marmol. He has to get back on track sometime

If the question was, can he have any success what so ever in short-season A ball, then yes he's answered that question. Oh, come on. He's an 18 year old putting up good numbers. Get excited about him, you know you want to. He's the next Wade Boggs. I think he will be hated forever simply because hes a high school player and we could have had a 22 year old catcher

Im not saying the zone was bad, but this site could be the worst when it comes to "bitching" about the zone, seriously. zomg you got us.

Haven't the cubs always done well in Milwaukee? It is not your typical road game because the crowd is usually about 50% cubs fans.

I wonder how steep the price for Harden will be.

the cubs will end up signing with milwaukee? that'd be crazy. Combining the two teams into one uber-team would be freaking awesome. C - Soto 1B - Lee 2B - Derosa SS - Hardy (though his job isn't safe) 3B - Aramis RF - Soriano LF - Braun CF - Hart OF - Fukudome (sorry less of a track record so I just can't put him over Hart/Braun) SP - Sheets SP - Sabathia SP - Zambrano SP - Gallardo (we'll pretend he is healthy) SP - Lilly/Dempster (Can't bring myself to believe Dempster is for real so I'd go Lilly or maybe Hill!) RP - Wood RP - Torres RP - Marmol RP - Shouse RP - Wuertz LR - Parra maybe? LR - Lieber Yeah I think that team can win the world series. Where is Howry? lol Anyway, I think I'm in the crowd that says this really won't effect the Cubs season in the end. The Cubs are still a better team than the Brewers overall, especially considering Hendry is bound to make a move for another starter and at the very list it looks like Hill has figured his problem out and should come back a little later on.

some 36 year old just hit a homer

http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports_hardball/2008/07/edmonds-vs-la-r.html TLR is either really dumb, or was just drunk when he said that. Either way it makes no sense.

i agree the takeaway from this game is that we should have drafted a college player so we could trade him for cc sabathia

He does seem to be taking some bad swings at pitches with two strikes lately. Especially outside pitches. Hes a smart hitter and i'm sure he will adjust

marmol in to seal it for the giants

mitch boggs is being exposed!

honestly if he needs rest at his age from the workload hes had so far he won't have a long career in the MLB
