he wont pitch nicely both mentally and physically out of the pen DFA him….

Marquis has been a cancer almost everywhere he has been. That being said without him we dont make the playoffs last year.

I don’t know how much of a valuable asset he is to the Cubs, but it doesn’t seem much. That and his nose is enormous.

And with how the game is transforming there is just going to be less and less of them unless there are some drastic changes. Gallagher has been refreshingly stellar thus far.

To sum up...

Gallagher got the first two outs and the cubs were the best ever.
Then he gave up a run in the first. The cubs and gallagher suck.
Then the Cubs tied it as a run came across on a wild pitch. The cubs manufactured that run and therefore rock.
DLee hit a homer that the wind sliced into the grandstands in right. The cubs are the best team in the league
Gallagher ran out of gas a bit, put some guys on. Fox walked two with the bases loaded. Fox must go (ok, I said this) and Lou is giving the game away by having him throw a second inning.
Gonzalez has had a good day, but that is because the cubs suck.
The world’s skinniest man is coming in to pitch for the snakes in the bottom of the sixth.
Fox picks a guy off! he’s the best ever!

Chad Fox

NEVER should have been called up. I didn’t get it then…still don’t.

Soriano should hit 5th. Period.

Chris Burke agrees with you.

Truth hurts...

Those BB with the bases loaded…it’s like he was afraid to throw strikes.

So Fox is a two pitch pitcher?

all he can throw is either

balls or strikes

If they lose today

Especially from the DBacks.

If they lose today

Yeah, right.

Dome is wearing a pink armband on his left wrist.

How PC of him. He’s adapting well.

I hate that skinny guy.

Dome

seems to bail out quite a bit…might be why the leagues seems to be consistently pitching him away.
