It's not necessarily my favorite song on the album but I do really like it and it's good for a user name. Rain When I Die or Love, Hate, Love (I know it's off Facelift) don't work quite as well for that.

Dirt, Angry Chair, Rooster, Them Bones...although Rooster's probably already taken.
Best would've been Iron Gland.

Cubs won a game started by Roy Halladay.
What was the moneyline on that game? 5 v 1 on the road and win... had to be close to +300.
Highest in Vegas at gametime was +135.
Oh DRose.
Garza is good.
Gotta get rid of Marmol. Terrible.
Actually Lance... I looked it up and I think the +135 was the run line maybe?... It was +240 moneyline.
Marmol sucks.
For my 1000th post, I will recount a story from last weekend when I went to Chicago for the Reds series. I just happened to run into a friend from high school in Texas at Wrigley during the Saturday afternoon game. He used to always give me crap about the Cubs. It was his first time ever at Wrigley and he simply said, "I get it now. This is awesome."
Good story.
The Cubs took 2 out of 4 from Philly at Philly. All in all that's not too bad. There are still a lot of improvements I'd like to see, opportunities taken advantage of (and no, I'm not talking about the RBI they get when they GiDP with the bases loaded), Marmols demoted, etc.

LaHair is absolutely mashing right now. I wonder how long he can keep it up.
it's too bad the rainout didn't come a day earlier so Volstad could have been skipped. although hopefully extra rest for Samardzija will help long term...
Mark Prior signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox. When is he finally going to give and realize it's over?

Prior is a PERFECT candidate for Epstein's buy low plan. i'd take him over Volstad right now. hell, i'd let him close.
Great outing from Shark tonight. First one on the road for him. Now we wait to see if the pen blows the 3-1 lead in the 8th or 9th.
Didn't look close enough and Dolis just got out of the 8th 1-2-3. Will Sveum go to Marmol in the 9th? I hope not.
Marmol works a 1-2-3 9th for the save. His slider was pretty nasty tonight. Hopefully he just needed the calendar to change to May to get back to form.
Raley was mentioned on today's telecast. Might be some news for Theo's thread.
I didn't tune into the game until the 8th. If anyone can sum up the talk on Raley, feel free to add it on that thread.
Damn it Marmol
Walk walk error single walk
Dempster should be allowed to use marmol as his personal water cooler to beat with a bat. Marmol is such a headcase.

On an unrelated note, Lahair has been my best final round draft pick in history.
losers
Sveum fed up with Marmol
No kidding. Honestly, to this point, I'd believe Sveum's under orders from up top to have him out there to give him some kind of value so they can get rid of him, and that was the plan all season after his terrible end of 2011.
3 year, 20 million dollar deal. And he's started off being terrible and continued that into year 2.
Marmol currently has 9 walks to 8 Ks as a closer. Terrible.

Marmol has been removed as closer.
Will be Dolis and Russell for now.

Cubs win 5-4 in a game started by Billingsley
Maholm with a good start, and a good day for Fonzi.
Wood gave up 2 in the 8th.
Dolis with the save, hit a batter but did well otherwise.
Saw someone in an A&M hat on tv in the 9th.

ahh the "what if" game... woulda been 14-12 if those saves weren't blown.
The good news is our starting pitching has been better than anyone could have figured. Dempster, Samarjz, Garza, Maholm (last 3) all doing better than expected.
The Cubs win in 11 after coming back in the 9th. Dolis got the win, and T. Wood pitched 6 giving up 3 earned.
Walk off walk.
quote:
Anthony Rizzo had his 12-game hitting streak ended Sunday at Iowa, although he did walk twice. He is hitting .364 with 25 RBIs in 28 games.
Just made a trade in my NL only league the other day expecting Rizzo (one of my 2 prospects in the league) to be playing by summer. He's lighting it up.
Very entertaining Cubs game tonight. HRs for Soto, Stewart, and another for LaHair.
Campana remains very fast...great catch in center and bunt single.
Marmol works a very "interesting" 8th (when the lead was 3-1). Let's the first 2 on before getting an out with 3 balls on the next batter. Then gets 2 Ks to end the inning.
Cubs Win 5-1
