DREW!
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.

a limited number of TOOTBLANs and playing 2B.

STRIKE TWO! 1-2!
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.

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.

The score was only 2-1, so they had to give you some bang for your buck. :) Maybe with the rookie pitching tomorrow for the Reds, the Cubs can make it a laugher.

He got three outs on Wednesday.
Though, I agree with you about the four-out save thing. Dropping one third strike is fine, but our catchers need to hold onto balls that aren’t in the zone.

It seems to me that he's been streaky to this point.
He’ll be lights out in one save, and then he seems to “lose it” and can’t find the zone in other game-closing situations (see game against Houston at Wrigley earlier this year).
I hope he turns it around, too.

Is tough to name many Cubs
.. that haven’t been streaky this season!
Randy Wells. Anyone else? lol
To be fair, baseball tends to be a sport dominated by streakiness…

Dome has been
fairly consistent. Everyone slumps.
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.

that’s what I meant about baseball being the sport of streakiness… everyone does slump

I certainly think he has the potential
to do it.
Looking at Wood’s line, I believe he has two blown saves in 10 chances. So he’s actually a little worse, percentage-wise, than Gregg is now.

Was that Houston game
a save situation? I didn’t think it was.
That said, I can’t understand why there’s that much variance in performance between save and non-save situations. A lot of closers are like that.

The Houston game was not a save situation.
Gregg went in because he was warming up during the eighth inning that day. Had the Cubs not scored in the bottom of the eighth, then yes, it would have been a save opportunity. Heilman technically blew the save, but that’s because the Cubs lead was 4-2 when he came in.

But I suppose...
.. you’ve got to take my signature line into account when evaluating my opinions… :)

He was pretty much lights-out Wednesday
But he also had to get four outs against the Dodgers last week when Scales made an error at third base with two out.

Yep
and he seems to have been improving steadily since that crap-fest against houston… and every reliever is going to have outings like that, you just hope they’re few and far between…

Wood was kind of like that last year, too
Had a rough first six-seven weeks or so, then settled down and became much more reliable.
I hope Gregg is able to do the same.

Exactly
what I’m hoping for!
