baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out

Hi Sue!
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.

not sure how marmol can even look wells in the eye
another ND in the offing for Wells. I see what you are saying Doggie Stalker and at this point, yeah, Lou is going to start having to rely on ascanio and waddell if this team has any chance of making it through the year. It is one thing to use marmol and gregg every game, another situation to use marmol every game when he can’t get anyone out.
And krummy12 brings up the more relevant point, if the offense could score more than 3 runs a game this wouldn’t be a F-ing issue.
Game over. Can’t wait for Reds to take 4-3 lead and cubs offense to bend over once again and go down 1-2-3 in the ninth.

isn’t playing well. No one debates that. Nevertheless, we were up by 1 and then up by 2 in this game, and you were nowhere to be found.
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.

Bradley
pinch hitting. 2-0 on him.
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.
