This game is scripted. ;-)
Check on your DVR’s. Shortly before Fontenot’s HR, Fox’s scoreboard at the top of the screen showed the words: “Home Run Cubs”. Before it really happened! I swear.
Before he actually hit the ball?

by SouthsideCUBSfan on May 3, 2008 4:01 PM CDT up reply actions
I am aware, yes.
Are you aware that Theriot is one of the worst defensive shortstops in the league so far, according to RZR? True story!
A game thread really isn't the place to hash this out again...
...but fielding percentage is entirely useless, because you can’t make an error if you don’t make it to the baseball, and it’s not an error if the runner beats out your throw. So you can perhaps see why a guy with good hands but poor range and arm would put up a good fielding percentage but not actually be good on defense.
If we're judging the team on present not past
then why in the world isn’t Ronny Cedeno playing?

For those of us in LA
they finally fixed the Fox Espanol feed of the game. For some reason, in the top of the 4th, the feed was almost 5 minutes behind. So I watched the rally in Spanish, which was fine. Now I can sync Pat & Ron to the Spanish feed and be back in business. Go Cubs!!
But it is wierd that every half inning of the game, the feed/sync timing changes. Fox is messed up!

yep. according to his agent, Catro is signing with the Rockies

so that probably lessen the Rockies interest in Cedeno, if they had any to begin with.

How did Neifi Perez, Kevin Orie, and Jeremi Gonzalez get Rookie of the League votes in 1997?
glad to see others
are as mystified by the decision to use Marmol for 2 innings let alone at all in this game
Marmol’s thrown 20+ innings already… he’s on pace for nearly 100… this isn’t a good plan for our future

Didn't the bullpen throw 11 innings yesterday?
Except for Marmol that is?

yes
but we just called up Gallagher who was supposed to start yesterday. He’s completely fresh and should be used when we’re up 6 runs and need 2 innings. If things get hairy, then you bring in Marmol

Good point
But trying to guess Lou’s logic, he probably thinks he needs to save Gallagher for a possible long relief stint, since Lieber won’t be available for a few days after yesterday,

And Lieber may even be
heading to the rotation

Lieber is in the rotation
but Marmol is our most valued young pitching commodity right now. Throwing him this much in meaningless games as Lou has already done twice this year is Dusty-esque

you've got Marshall
who can do that as well, if Lou wasn’t so committed to making him a lefty specialist. We have multiple arms capable of going more than 1 inning, this was senseless today

Plus Marshall was warming up.
Why do that if he was not going to come into the game? IMO, Mármol should have been properly rested and not pitch at all today, or at the very least no more than one inning.

Fox sucks but . . .
They did put the last inning on here after the Angels/Orioles.

Lou needs...
...a bit of knocking around by the media today.
Maybe that will wake him up. Fontenot came through, but shit, that lineup sucked today. And Marmol for 2 IP?! WTF.

Felix Pie must play everyday!
But everyone else in the bullpen is now rested

Is that a W, or WIN or something else?

I missed you all too, especially with the win.
I was calling Northwestern Wildcats @ Illinois Fighting Illini play-by-play on the radio (Illini 14-4, F), but my color commentator was getting text updates on his phone whenever the Cubs scored and I was more than happy to pass them along. Let’s get ‘em again tonight!
