  1. So I left after Marmol got out of the 7th...didn't come back till the 10th... can someone explain what happened in the 8th? Did Lou bring Marmol out and he gave up a run? Gregg give up an inherited runner?
  2. If we can steal game one on the road, stuff gets really interesting.
  3. I wanted Kirk to make that so bad.
  4. Of course, watch Marmol blow this now that we've said all this.
  5. Last year's tied it and we lost to Skip Schumaker, no?
  6. It would be incredibly awesome if Lou really was planning on using Marmol in the tightest spots, regardless of whether it's a save spot or not. He's more forward thinking in some ways than you would think.
  7. This is the type of game I would want Marmol to close.
  8. Pujlols I love how they look back up at the sun when they lose it. It's like they want to signal their excuse to everyone. Not like there's anything to investigate.
  9. Inning over. Let's get some more this inning.
  10. Or I can make evaluations based on the players on the team, their histories, and stuff like that. Whether or not they wind up performing the best is a completely different subject. There is a team right now that is intrinsically the best in the NL and one that's the worst and a whole bunch in between. It means something and I'm pretty sure we're allowed to attempt to figure it out.
  11. The pitching and lack of clutch hitting scares me. There isn't any such thing as clutch hitting. You either have hitting, or you don't. I disagree. Some guys can handle the situation and others can't. Look at Soriano's numbers with men on compared to nobody on. I'm not saying it proves my argument, but I think it shows evidence toward my argument. The relief pitching should probably scare you, but it is what it is and it's what we knew it was coming in. At least we have Marmol. Not a whole lot about this offense should scare you, aside from maybe Derrek Lee having further regressed. We get runners on. We will score lots of runs.
  12. How do you figure? You're right. Silly me, I should've realized that 10 games in I should completely reevaluate the quality (lack thereof, actually) of this team. The Cardinals, Marlins, Blue Jays, Orioles, etc. all > them. Better?
  13. It's because I'm from Illinois. Your Bulls fandom is what makes you OK with me
  14. Except the Cubs are a much better team than the Bears. I disagree. We're gonna with the North, and with our DEF finally getting some rest with our offense getting better....it's gonna be a fun season. Past 3 years has been all defense and special teams. Add a good QB to the mix. And yet none of that makes them the best team in their conference(/league) or one of the top 3 or 4 in the NFL. The Cubs are. I'm not saying I'm not excited about the Bears. I'm just saying you're undercutting the Cubs because you're mad right now.
  15. Except the Cubs are a much better team than the Bears.
  16. Kosuke is a freaking beast right now. Who woulda thought this would happen 2 weeks ago?
