He had a bad day today, but has been pretty consistent.
This game is important for Howry, if he can put them down 1-2-3 that’d be a big confidence builder for him.

Hi AL,
You could very well be correct, I just know they have been inconsistent this year, esp. Howry. But, maybe they will pick it up as the season continues. By the way, who is our left handed reliever?

watching people from Texas lose
is almost as much fun as watching the Cubs win.

if Howry
can really pull it together, maybe he can step in for WC every so often.

Keep it goin boys
Unfortunately, we have been here before (1969, 1984, 1989, 1999, 2003, 2007). But, perhaps this is truly our year. God, I hope so, we deserve something better than, “wait till next year.”

dood.
We’re 9-11. We’re .500 on the road. We’re huge at home. Marmol CAN NOT BE HIT. And our catcher had an inside-the-park home-run.
Be happy!

White Castle has a burger called a slider i think
I never ate there before, but thats what I picked up on

oh, thanks.

Answer
I think it’s because Marmol serves up sliders that make you shit your pants.
by 15% on May 19, 2008 10:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
slider
I think we can probably do better than white castle. Lets get our top guys on this.

At least they put some thought into it.
It’s far more clever than A-Ram or D-Lee. (A week or two ago, I was listening to the radio, where the sports talk host person was reading an e-mail where the writer referred to the Vikings quarterback as “T-Jack.” I had to resist the temptation to drive my car straight into a tree.)
Before each game, please remember to feed the bats.

Our top guys
came up with WC. It very much fits Marmol.

A beautiful game
“The Catch,” great bullpen work, Ted Lilly keeping his team in the game, the brilliancy of Kosuke, the excitement of Geovany Soto, the clutch hitting of Aramis Ramirez. And Lance Berkman reaching for a snack at 1st base (actually, I love Fat Elvis…he is a great player).
Adding knowledge and challenging the saber-magicians, one post at a time.
by MDBNIU on May 19, 2008 10:22 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
yeah, because Pie
wouldn’t have made that catch.
Give me a break.

what a non-sequitur re Pie. he didn’t make the catch. edmonds did. get over it.
i can’t believe i’m defending mdbniu!! and i only played baseball till freshman year of hi skool!!
Before Edmonds: 24-16, (.600); With Edmonds: 4-1 (.800), DRS: 1

Better Catch
Johnson or Edmonds? I really am having trouble deciding because initially I would say Edmonds should have been looking over his right shoulder which would have made the catch a little more routine. Then I think about it and with that ball being hit by Pence (I think) it was probably tailing toward right center a bit. I think what Edmonds does so well is his ability to look down to find out where he is in relation to the track and the wall and then relocate the ball quickly. I’m leaning towards Johnson because of how far he covered and the fact he had to dive onto the track. I’m sure I can be convinced otherwise.
Side note, I really hope we don’t wear down Marmol to the point of being ineffective in the later part of the season and the playoffs. I wouldn’t mind giving him time off until the 23rd because the Cubs don’t have another off day until the 9th of June,
Lets do it Cubbies
