Cubs vs. Marlins - 4/30/09

[kbwsb]

Was it just one error, or 2 on the same play?

[Bricklayer]

I think I officially concede. This season is going straight to shit. I haven't, until this point, felt like there isn't a chance to get back on track. That's over now. We're fucked.

What would you have done differently? I don't think Lou is to blame tonight. Lack of offense and a bad catch by Theriot are not Lou's fault.

My biggest problem was sticking Marmol right back out there after yesterdays fiasco but of course Heilman sucked it up right after him so I guess it really would not have mattered.

Yeah, with this bullpen, sticking anyone on the mound is a roll of the dice.

Sometimes it's good that I don't get the non WGN games.

Just little things that show you that he's not really into the game anymore. For example, what's Gathright's only value to the club? speed, right? Well, Lou's been constantly using him to pinch hit, and on Z's single, perfect situation for Gathright to pinch run, he keeps Z running. I mean, just doesn't make sense. Don't know if you get me.

Good point. I do indeed get you.

[Clapp]

Expected to lose this one, and we actually win it if not for a web gem. Over it.

[AlexV]

And the Cardinals won again. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I fucking hate baseball!

I'm not blaming it entirely on Lou, though. This whole team needs to wake up, and quick.

[biggz]

Maybe we caught shittybullpenitis from the Mets when we acquired [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hitler.gif[/img] man?

[Butcher]

So... I just came from one of the most amazing basketball games I've seen in a while. I hop on the train and check to see what happened with the Cubs. Buzz. Officially. Killed.

That was my biggest gripe. He had Heilman up a couple of times already, and inserted Marmol anyway as a last second decision after Marshall was about to start the inning. This game probably should have ended 2-1, but maybe not. Lou seems to be on a different planet since the playoffs, and so does this team. We are awful in every way right now.

[Destined]

Wait 'Till Next Year.

[Coach]

You've got to get Marmol out there to handle situations like that.
