where hunter pence was on that HR. Did he come out of the dugout that inning?

yeah that seems to work way too well

i did it w/fonzie and we’ve all seen how that worked out (did it after the cardinal game where he was horrific and then hit the HR)

No, someone else has to pitch the 9th.

by Cubfansince1957 on May 19, 2008 9:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Nope.

Enough Marmol today. He qualifies for a save, but he ought to come out now. Enough, before his arm falls off.

WHY?????

When are we going to use Chad Fox? Seriously.

Are we waiting for aliens to beam our bullpen up when Fox is in the clubhouse pinching one off?

use him

when we’re getting blown out, and someone has to eat innings who won’t care about their era.

I dunno, but...

Bobble-heads aren’t as loud and annoying.

I have a set of...

... Thom and Marty Brennaman bobbleheads I got in Cincinnati last September.

They’re only slightly less annoying than the real thing.

i agree.. i said it earlier

hes the first cub that hasnt looked like he fit in, in a cubs jersey.. its just wierd

by dariot2 on May 19, 2008 9:20 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah he does.

He looks malplaced. The color blue fits him like how a size 4 leotard fits Eddy Curry.

Marmol has 41 K’s in ONLY 29 innings

That is incredible..
