When he used the ENTIRE bench in TIE road game that went extras in April of 08 To me this was the managing equivalent of Cedeno overunning on a walk. After that I realized just how bad he was at using the bullpen ( Eyre pitched pretty good tonight for a guy Lou thought was useless), the bench and ruled by cranky anger rather then trying to both kick as AND inspire players.

Let's rethink everything...or not
Seriously, if these guys are going to win it this year, then THESE GUYS are going to win it this year. It has to be Marmol and Gregg, because these are the guys who can do it at all. If they have lost it, then the team is in deep doo doo.
This is definitely a low point. They need to start climbing from here, because they can’t afford to fall too far off the pace. At least the part of the season is over where we could count on everyone in front of them losing, because you can’t stay in the race like that and hope to do anything in the post-season.
"When you're going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill
I don't know what to say, really
It’s inexplicable that so many people with decent track records would combine to be so subpar.

Career average of .283 (including this year)
Never hit lower than .263 in six seasons. When you look at that, you can see why Hendry signed him.

also, remember last year?
he hit the game winning grand slam against us. it’s hard to imagine he’s the same player

Lou DOES deserve to be called out
How do let Marmol in when he clearly can’t find the plate and Grabow is warmed up. That was a HUGE mistake and one he has done over and over this year. For a guy who claims to hate pitchers who walk people I have no idea why he gives Marmol such leeway.

I think you flipped the Names of Piniella and Marmol
Piniella f-ed up this game something fierce this evening.
Oh I’m sorry I forgot you were watching your favorite team…the Cardinals….tonight.

ok, please send marmol to triple A, hire someone to teach somecontrol to this kid.
2nd, sign smoltz to be the closer, he can still pitch an inning.
sigh
is this a joke?

triple A is the best option for marmol at this point, he cant throw strikes, and the Rsox are going to release smoltz, I say lets give him a try, he is a national league pitcher
and let me clarify
I wasn’t being snide. I meant it’s sad what our bullpen situation has become. Last year, Marmol was automatic.

Out here in the hinterlands
Extra Innings treated us to Cubs Post game live! Just in time for Lou’s hissy fit! Great stuff! Wonder who asked him the question — “Frustrated with your bullpen?”
“So why don’t you sit down here and manage this team???” Nice stuff, Lou — way to melt down!
by San Diego Smooth Jazz Man on Aug 11, 2009 11:21 PM CDT reply actions
The thing is, SDSJM,
everybody in the Chicago media has been crapping on Lou for not showing sufficient “fire.” Whatever that is.
Tonight he did, and now he’s getting roasted for it.
Can’t win.

by jesus christos on Aug 11, 2009 11:25 PM CDT up reply actions
Well, that was more of a stupid comment
toward a reporter than ‘fire.’ It’s his job to talk to the press. I hear what you’re saying, though.
by San Diego Smooth Jazz Man on Aug 11, 2009 11:25 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, granted, but
he’s gotten thrown out of a game and blown up at a reporter in the last three days. I think people are underestimating how much this stuff is eating at him.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 11, 2009 11:28 PM CDT up reply actions
Fire is not blaming he media in a press conference
It is pulling a player out of game when he does not run out a grounder or having a little extra batting practice and not looking like he is asleep through most of the game.

I don't care how he looks during the game
Tom Kelly and Cito Gaston looked like they were dead in the dugout. How many World Series did those guys win?
Too many Chicago fans expect all the coaches to act like Mike Ditka. In other words, like an idiot. I don’t care how they act. I care about results.
Aside from the well-publicized incident between Andruw Jones and Bobby Cox, I can’t remember too many times managers have done what you suggest, Jessica.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 11, 2009 11:29 PM CDT up reply actions
It is not that rare but even if you don't pull someone right out of the game
You can pull them out of the lineup for a few days.
One of the BEST things Lou ever did was pull Z out of the game when Z chewed out Todd Waker in the middle of a game for screwing up a DP.

AAA really isn't a bad idea for Marmol
He has to get his shit together, and it’s not happening for him. Wake-up calls are necessary sometimes.

by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 11, 2009 11:26 PM CDT up reply actions
But he can't be optioned to the minors
Guzman needs to take over in the 8th right now instead of Marmol. Use Marmol in the 7th or other lower pressure situations until he starts throwing strikes consistently.
Is he out of options?
First I’ve heard of that.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 11, 2009 11:35 PM CDT up reply actions

From Cub Reporter
NOTE 2 – Neal Cotts, Mike Fontenot, Tom Gorzelanny, Carlos Marmol, Sean Marshall, and Ryan Theriot must clear Optional Assignment Waivers before they can be optioned to the minors
Or just trade him in the offseason
The bullpen is in need of almost total reconstruction.
And the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at Fight Club, you have to fight.
or for heilman, for that matter
i said so weeks ago.
by brian custer on Aug 11, 2009 11:40 PM CDT up reply actions
Why can't he be sent down?
I doubt if the Cubs have ever done so. He’s still early enough in his career that this can happen. The other idea, as you said (I think Brenly hinted at this) is to use him in less-pressurized situations.
by San Diego Smooth Jazz Man on Aug 11, 2009 11:28 PM CDT reply actions

Well he could develop one of those useful injuries like Patton, Miles etc.
I would say instead of tired arm or groin injury he can get the new " I can’t find the plate" arm injury/

I find it hard to believe the Cubs have used up
all of Marmol’s minor-league options. But, of course I don’t have any facts to support my position.
That hasn’t stopped many on this site before!!

I wonder how many times he came up and down under Dusty.
Doesn't matter how many times he came up or down in that year
It’s only one option.

He appears to have one option left.
