remarkably stupid by Theriot to not eat that ball. Not to take away from the shitty outing by Marmol and all. Hopefully he can pick up the ultimate vulture win here in the 9th. Wood is obviously hurting, sounds like a blister.

Marmol would benefit from a trip to the minors, just to get away from Larry Rothschild. Rothschild has turned Marmol into Michael Wuertz, a one-pitch pitcher. "Just keep throwing the slider until they hit it. Then throw it some more." Remember when Marmol threw 97? You've got a good memory. I'd love to take the #50 jersey away from that guy, too.

Between May 24th and May 31st, Marmol threw 128 pitches in 6 different outings over 7 days. Since then, he hasn't been the same pitcher, and has had an ERA over 8. Many expressed concern about overwork then. Maybe Marmol needs 15 days off more than anything.

Apparantly Lou has deemed this game expendable. absolutely ridiculous that he doesn't take Marmol out there for Marshall to face Bowker. They might still pull this one out but apparantly Piniella thought it was ok to put Marmol out there to rot.

Listening to Lou's postgame comments on the radio: He says Wood will not pitch until after the all star break due to blisters. Blamed Marmol for the little dribbler and said if he would have made that play the inning would be over. Chalked it up as a 'learning experience'. Either Lou isn't saying anything or they really don't believe there is any problem with Marmol. Strange.

Nice "objective" article you linked to, all in order to make doubly sure we know how much the Cub's talent evaluation/trade prowess suck. God, your act is so tired and old - go play in your litter box, sweetheart.

"On second thought, keep him away, far away, from our minor leaguers." Who, of course, suck - because our farm system sucks. It's like listening to a Mynah bird - same thing over, and over, and over again...

just guessing... ...rich harden is hoping hendry trades for a couple more relievers. can't protect a 7 run lead over 2 innings? zounds. ...carlos marmol is second guessing not taking the winter off. ...lou is upset he did not run the 2-point conversion instead of kicking; cubs would have won in regulation instead of overtime. ...jim edmonds suggests to lou to leave him in the lineup a little longer, and let reed johnson be the 9th inning caddy for soriano when he returns post a-s-g. unless i missed a medical reason to do so, why sit the hottest hitter on the day?

dc you hit it on the head marmol second guessing not taking the winter off, the kid needs some time off. sean marshall = player of the game he is looking forward to going to az. to spend some time with his favorite news lady.

One of the things that jumps out at me is that many often complain about the big money multi year deals handed to relievers. (Where would the Sox be without Dotel and Linebrink?) The addition of Harden in the rotation is super huge but it really doesn't address the second issue with our pitching. Eyre's injuries (Lou seems to trust him) combined with our starters inability to go deep (aside from Z and Demp) has taxed our pen. Would Damaso Marte be cheap or worth while? http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6261

Was anyone listening to the game on the radio yesterday? I feel like, once the tying runs scored, we didn't hear from Ronnie for a long while. No "Ah, geez!" or anything. I wonder if they cut his mike, or if he had to wander off and collect himself...?

Glad to hear he went and visited the boy who's in the hospital after getting hit by the liner off Lilly's bat. Classy.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it).

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it

    alzolay...bro...
