Not to get off topic.
But, does anyone know what was the score earlier today between Spain and South Africa in the Confederations Cup?

Base hit to right
Valbuena singles. Jimenez to second. Haffner in to pinch hit.
Marshall is being brought in to pitch.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
Why does Len call Jimenez "Gimenez" and not "Himinez"?
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
Bob did the same
They don’t realize it’s basically pronounced the same as Jimenez.
It’s fine, I really don’t mind.

Oh, ok. I didn't know that's how he spelled his name. Guess it must be confusing.
"I'm not much of a chemistry guy, you know. Chemistry to me is a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded"--Jim Frey, Chicago Tribune, 1985.
Pat says the same thing.
It reminds me of Matt Diaz, who for some reason pronounces his name “Die-Az.”

Drove me nuts until I realized that was the way he pronounced it.

Does anyone else think Jim Edmonds could’ve gotten it, considering he plays shallow?

Why put Marmol in a position where he REALLY can't walk anyone?

Id say this is a big outing for Marmol
he gets the job done or Lou might pull the plug on him as “the man” in the pen.
Marmol is coming in with the baseloaded?

I really like Lou sticking Marmol in there..
in that situation. Obviously still a work in progress, but if he can get some experience and confidence in that situation, then he will be able to be a very good closer. We might as well get this figured out now when it’s early – then maybe we’ll have something to work with in October.

IS it really that much of an improvement to put Miles in the pitchers spot. I mean Heilman can’t be that much worse than Miles at hitting.
