Alright seriously, who is this shortstop?
The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.

Instead of being 3-1, we are going to be 1-3...nice.

I don't have words for how frustrating it is to have a bullpen like this.

Perhaps I was wrong about Caridad.

Nah. But he nibbled tonight. Nibbled far too much on the first two guys, Dickerson had a - literally - perfect bunt, and then with them loaded, he grooved one. It's about as understandable as four runs gets.
Not excusable, though.

So, how long is it going to take until Marshall is our 8th inning guy?

Second game already that we will have been beaten in the bottom of the 8th. Unbelieveable

Also, the Cubs should have more than 3 runs - the offense is sucking a cock.

True, but good teams don't blow two 8th inning leads in the first 4 games of the year.

Not wrong about his stuff. You can't tell with any of these kids until they get into these situations. And when you have a bullpen full of them, regardless of their ability and stuff, at least a couple of them are going to fail with this pressure in front of huge crowds. This is too damn predictable and makes me shake my head that people were actually okay with it. We need to overpay for a legitimate setup man if we have to. Maybe 2. It's that big of a need.

Yep. I have not been impressed at all with our offense.

He pitched in all 3 games in the Braves series. Lou probably wanted to give him a rest.

I'm confident that, if he hadn't thrown the last three, he probably would have gotten the call.

Yeah we had a lot of chances and Bailey had nothing, I was worried that was gonna come back to bite us.
