Oh dear lord no. If anyone in our organization would make me feel uncomfortable with a six-run lead, it's him. You know it's coming. I fully expect Marmol to experience a period of dead arm some time in July with Wood having soreness/tendinitis around the same time. This is going to be a crazed summer.
Given the amount of gambling, drinking, and shenanigans that happen during the Derby, it's a miracle people still treat it like an exercise in pageantry and high class entertainment. Crusty old-money types need their gambling, drinking, and shenanigans too... Deadspin's Take A couple of my friends went to the Derby a few years back. They said it was one of the most insane things they've ever experienced in their lives.

My all-time favorite Jeter play was when he made a diving catch on a ball and landed on Robinson Cano's backside. Needless to say, Cano was calling for it and had the better angle.
Isn't that what your name used to be? play pie or something? yes maybe at this point you should change it back to play pie Maybe you didn't get the memo, but Johnson "brings energy" to the team. Plus he chokes up a lot on the bat. And Reed can grow an amazing goatee and hes white And he made one awesome catch which will make everyone assume he's a terrific defense CF.

I think the only reason the Cubs should trade for Brian Roberts is to save Lou Piniella from himself. We're approaching Dusty Baker territory where we have to trade for players and trade players away in order to keep Piniella away from useless garbage like Fontenot.
I don't have any problem with Joe Buck. Yeah, I said it. Joe Buck is like herpes. I think something more along the lines of the bubonic plague would be more applicable.

Somebody (I think Bob's Keeper?) had a chart of Hill's pitches and release points comparing this season to last season. They clearly tweaked his delivery. I remember there was a fight between Larry Rotchschild and one of the Cubs' minor league pitching coaches a few years ago over Hill's mechanics, with the coach basically calling Rothschild a complete and total idiot for messing with Hill's mechanics on his call-up and having to re-adjust Hill when he was sent back down. I want to say this was in 2006?
