At least he's resisting to use Marmol
And most of the guys complain why use Marmol? This is why he uses Marmol! The pen is very inconsistent.
He doesn't do it always
Majority of the time I see him use in close games.
Yeah
When he came to South Carolina, he called his offense “Cock ‘n’ Fire”
Unfortunately, it’s been all “Cock” and no “Fire”
Sorry to hear about the bammers

Yeah. And I know how to pick all the winners, don't I?
I am a S.C. alum, though, so I don’t have much of a choice.

SS Theriot flies to deep right field, on the track. 1 out.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
I'm really not
feeling this game tonight. Looks like the team feels the same way. Unless of course they are saving the bats for the 8th and ninth innings.
OT: Scoring update...
LA 3 Unclogged Bases 1 bottom 9
Houston 5 Baltimore 4 bottom 8
Jays 0 (and Reedless) Brewcrew 5 bottom 7
Good Steaks 1 Bad ribs 1 bottom 7
Buccos 5 Black Sox 7 bottom 5
That, sir, is the greatest manager in history you're mocking
I know, because Buzz Bissinger told me so
DAMMIT!!!!
I am sick of being schooled by the ragarm bullpen of Tampa Bay. This team i winning on smoke and mirrors and the Cub should be stomping them silly.

Well, there’s still the 9th.
Pitching has been OK today… just no offense.

This is Marmol time.
Followed by some bats. Followed by Wood. It has to be. Come on Cubbies, just wake up for the last little bit.
Okay, I have a TB hat I bought as a souvenir when I went to Trop earlier
I am now turning it upside down. Superstitious? Yes. But it’s all we got left.
you waited till now? :D

I actually intended to do it at the beginning of the night
And forgot, sad to say. So blame this mess on me.
You are hereby blamed.
And if the Cubs do come back, you will be given credit!
"That's my opinion and if you don't like it, well, I have others." ~ Groucho Marx
It's OK
I’m not angry at the Cubs for struggling tonight. They are going against the 3rd best in the majors.
Yeah, and their travel schedule over the last couple of days sucked
But we can still do it, we just need one good inning.
It's possible
Their closer is Troy Percival. I know he has been solid htis year, but he is beatable.
True.
If they do lose this one, at least it was to their best pitcher. Still two games left in this series.

I say call up Ascanio
Give him a second shot. Then, look for a RP down midseason. I have a feeling the Cubs are going to need a setup man.
Ascanio...
... is back in the DR due to a family problem. It’ll have to be someone else.

Needs to get it going.
