Best Bullpen doesn't automatically win the division...it's only part of a team's performance...

So they got to pay him a lot. Probaly the only person at ESPN with a doctorate, sadly.

Probably doesn’t really remember any other bullpens. I’d name my firstborn after him if he could name four White Sux relief pitchers.

Hey all!
Last few games have been tough! Let’s get this done tonight!!!
These are the saddest of possible words: "Tinker to Evers to Chance"
So I'm looking at the diminsions of
the Cell on Gameday… and it doesn’t look any bigger than Wrigley. How is it we have the “small” park, and they never get any bandbox comments?

Because we have 'Banks Boulevard'
That isn’t shown on the ballpark dimensions… those allow cheap HR’s
The Cell is a major home run park.
ESPN’s own park factors have it as the most drastic homepark in the majors this year.
yesterday Marmol pitch 0 - 2 for a HR
Did not see the game due to blackouts here on the east coast. Was Marmol’s 0 -2 pitch near the zone or was it a good AB with a lucky swing ???
I hate HR’s against on 0 – 2 pitches
We need Marmol on fire again
I've been bleeding double blue Cubbies & NY Rangers
Good AB with lucky swing
It was up and out of the zone, IIRC

Why is Matt Murton still hear wasting a roster spot?
Because if he’s not going to play against a lefty and given the plethora of injuries in the outfield (to include the very gimpy Jim Edmonds) then I just don’t get it. Just give the No Tool Wonder his unconditional release and be done with it.

Pitch by pitch is all well and good in 9th inning and crucial situations
But all night is going to drive you - and everyone else - crazy.
That's exactly how I do it.
Pitch by pitch for things like Kosuke’s first AB as a Cub, Edmonds’ first, close and late situations. Anything more than that is overkill.

Joe Morgan is, you’re shocked, talking out of his ass here. If good hitters are significantly better against good pitching than average hitters (moreso than the difference between them and average hitters against ALL pitching), nobody’s proven it yet.
Then listen to the radio

GET Rich Harden !!! 11 starts, 5-0, 57 IP, 83 Ks, 2.15 ERA !!!

Not that I'm an expert, but....
I wonder if he’s taking his left hand off the bat in the middle of his swing. It’ll be interesting to watch him next time he’s at bat (I mean Cedeno).

I think Ronny Cedeno is Ronny Cedeno
His first thirty or forth ABs: Great
After that: Suckitude
Didn’t he bat like .300 in April 2006?
I agree, he sucks right now.
It’s especially painful to watch, given how he was in April.
And how is that curve not a strike?

Cedeno
Way too many at-bats like that recently. And not just by Cedeno. Might explain the team’s recent weakness. It’s almost like poor hitting strategy is contagious. Seems like I’ve seen Cub hitters swing at first pitches after walks and with men in scoring position dozens of times in the last two weeks. It’s getting old.

Got screwed on the call on the curve and then Thome singles.

That was Marmol-esque. Except for the fact that Marshall is a left and it was a curve, not a slider.
Other than that it was just like Marmol.

Calling it the “House that FIsk Built?” he loved to make up history
so
are they going to show the clip of the white sox pitching coach pulling his hammy or what?
they promised!
I used to be "Jones," but I got swooped on the redesign.
That was funny
not that he pulled his hammy, but the reaction of the players to it. I bet some of them peed themselves a little

And you can't be the same all season
scouts’ll report “never swings early in count” and then they’ll pitch you differently. You need to adjust your approach, which is what Dome is trying to do, I think.

Yeah, I do.
I know we like to complain about ESPN a lot, but the reason we’re here is because we’re playing so well. I want it to get to the point where fans of other teams complain about how much they hear about the Cubs. Just let the wins pile up.

yea the Cubs swing at every pitch
meaning Marshall barely gets his jacket on in the dugout … lets have some patience this inning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
