The future certainly doesn't look bright.

Damn, you're old. What was it like watching Mordecai Brown pitch?

I see another .500 season next year
Kevin Gregg - MW4 - 09-10-2009
Keep in mind...
Barring a COMPLETE COLLAPSE--this will be the first time since 1972 where the Cubs have been above .500 for THREE straight years.
I became a Cub fan the summer of 1972, so for me a lifetime and this is the ONLY time for three years over .500.
At least we are not the Pirates.

Nothing in that post makes me feel any better. We may finish over .500 this year, but it might as well be 20 under .500 because that is what it feels like.

I read somewhere today that we've finished 10 or more games out of first place 29 out of the last 35 seasons. If the current division lead holds, it will be 30 times. That's nothing to be proud of, whether we finish .500 or not.

Marmol is 7 for 7 in save opportunities since taking over that role. At least we don't need to drop a bunch of coin on a closer in the offseason.
Fuck off, Valverde.

I'm sure it's subconscious if true but do you think Marmol's inability to be effective in the setup role was due to resentment?

I think he's one of those players whose ego is so fragile that he needs affirmation and coddling in order to be effective. Remember how he turned his season around last year after being added to the AS team at the last minute?
I don't think it's a coincidence at all.
Kevin Gregg - PcB - 09-11-2009
I think it could be because we're not playing for anything so there's no pressure on him...

Jeff Stevens is doing a pretty good Gregg impression today.
