Marshall is calming me down.

But it makes me sad to know he was up there and had this in him while Marmol was throwing it away. sigh

I think Lou got caught there...Wood became unavailible with the blister

...and with the lead, he assumed that Marmol could close it down. The two terrible plays by Theriot didnt help matters.

I don't think he has the right to go ballistic at this one.

I think he should apologize to Hardin and promise to reevaluate the Marmol situation after the breaki.

Marmol,

He has good stuff, even great stuff at times, but something has happened. He cannot seem to get that first pitch over for a strike, then he just loses it for some reason. I would be for sending him down, but only for a short while. He is a terrific pitcher who has lost something, but that doesn’t mean he is useless for us the rest of the way.
Another thing, I have heard scouts say that Lou’s biggest weakness is his overuse of the bulpen, when he was with Cincinnati he could get away with it, but with Seattle it led to their eventual downfall. Let’s hope Lou learns from this and makes the proper adjustments in the future and not be a stubborn hard—head about the bullpen.

marmol has been overused period. gaudin shoulda be used for more than two thirds of an inning. neil cotts, one third wow. lou is a good manager with exceptions to bullpen.

One thing for sure,

unlike Cub teams in the past, this Cub team will not quit. In other years, even our winning years, something like this happens and we would fall apart, not this year. Note how the guys are fighting back.

By the way, this won’t effect Hardin, he’s a professional who knows these things do happen. He’s probably more concerned about Carlos Marmol than he is about losing the win.

Just not a shutdown reliever like Marmol was earlier in the year. That being said, I don’t want a trade for a friggin reliever. Those are almost always massive failures.

Like someone said earlier a win is a win. I would have rather one this game pretty early but i’ll always be happy with a ugly win then a pretty loss. This team just never quits, that my favorite thing about it. Your bullpen can’t pitch perfect every game and today was a great example of that but we’ll be just fine.

Harden pitched great, marshall pitched great, deRo and johnson with big hits. A win is a win is a win!!! Go Cubbies

For those few fans who said "we will lose"

after the 9th, I want to remind you that this is not the 2006 Cubs. These guys don’t give up and neither should you.

It was great to see that the vast majority of th BCBers kept the faith. This is a special team.

I just hope Lou can diversify his use of arms in the bullpen over these last 3+ months because we have a LONG, LONG way to go. I think the shakiness of these last few games is a warning sign to Lou that he can’t keep going to the same guys in these games where we are up by 5+ runs.

Trust other arms, Lou. They won’t let you down.

gaudin should have stayed in longer than 2 outs.

we overcame adversity, and we can celebrate this walkoff win. and can have a sweep going into the ASB.
