    I'm embarrassed to say that I follow this team. The embarrassment ends today.

    I was kinda wondering the same thing myself. Not knowing the situation, or other personal feelings, I've been slapped for less on more than one occasion. Watch out boys! I know karate! HAAAYYYAAAAA! OK, I'll shutup now.

    Although I think the sound of a metal bat hitting a fastball on the screws is the best sound in all of sports.

    Ozzie Guillen has absolutely no class whatsoever. He probably hung up the phone and made some reference to whoever was next to hm about Mike North never having won a World Series. Ozzie is 100% about Ozzie.

    He threw 6 strikes. Delgado had a great at bat and fouled balls off. Delgado was being a smart hitter. He was looking for something ina zone to drive. Anything close he fouled off. Unlesss GameCenter was inaccurate (distinct possibility) some of the fouls were off the outside corner, and would have been balls. This is what I meant when I said he was trying to be too perfect. Hitting the corners and trying to make the hitter go after your pitch is exactly right until the count became 3-2. Either way, the game came down to that situation and unfortunately, Wuertz lost. It was a team loss. The offense forced the bullpen to need to be perfect. The bullpen wasn't perfect.

    My 2 cents: The offense couldn't bring in an insurance run which certainly would have lessened the pressure on the pen. The runs that Cherry let in were charged to Marquis, as they should have been. That being said, Cherry was brought in for one purpose, to get outta that jam. It absolutely was a tough job, but the bottom line is, he didn't do it. (I didn't see the game live) but it sounded like he left two pitches up in the zone (one double, the other a sac fly) when he absolutely needed to keep the ball down. Wuertz was trying to be too perfect in the 9th. When the bases are loaded and one run ends it in a loss, if you're at 3-2, you have to throw a strike. A ball most likely ends the game since the hitter knows you're wild. At least with a strike you give your defense a chance to make a play to win it for you. Wuertz lost his release point and couldn't throw a strike. A smart hitter will make a wild pitcher get him out in that situation. Wuertz couldn't do it.

    In other words, the Cubs have been in the second most pressure-filled games when they hand it over to the bullpen of any team in baseball. This basically means that, compared to all but one team this year, the Cubs' bullpen has been placed in situations with little to no room for error. Even if the bullpen has been merely decent, with those kinds of situations constantly popping up, that's not good enough. Take it for what you will. Maybe the starters need to improve, maybe the lineup needs to do a better job, or maybe the bullpen could use an upgrade. Heck, maybe it's all of the above. The bottom line is, these tense situations in games handed over to the bullpen have magnified any flaws it has to a strong extent. Fantastic analysis.

    Agreed. I hate to be so pessimistic but it really does sound like he's setting everyone up for some sort of revelation. As though he knows his name is about to be linked to the Mets trainer or Balco or Bonds or something. So when it is revealed he can say "Yeah, like I told you the other day, I was drinking shakes in the Dominican Republic and who knows what was in them?" I'm sure that some poor shop owner is going to go to the extra expense of putting costly steroids into shakes and not tell anyone.

    Picking early, Wilken has said that his strategy is "best available" rather than "filling needs". The question comes down to, is Vitters better than Wieters?

    It was 2-0 with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, game tied. If he walks Aramis, Cubs win. I think it's safe to guess it would have been a strike. nah, the third pitch definately would have been ball three. it was significantly outside and high IMO. Oh, I know, I saw it. What I meant was, I think it was fair for Rammy to expect a strike. That's really the issue IMO. In that situation, the pressure is squarely on the pitcher to throw a strike. If Rammy had taken all the way, and the pitch had been a strike, you're still in a hitters count and you have two more hacks. If you swing (and miss) you take pressure off the pitcher. Scoring the run is the primary concern. How it comes home is unimportant.

    Gary Gaetti showed such promise at first too... Yeah - his HR in the 1998 playoff vs the Giants was one of the few truly memorable moments in Cub history. Little known fact: Gaetti hit a home run in his first ML at bat. He was sporting quite the pornstache back then too: http://www.thebaseballpage.com/images/players/gaettga01.jpg lol@pornstache
