I'll say this -- if Marmol's in our minor league system he's immediately the best arm. Whether he surrenders 4ER or 20 this afternoon. Sure as hell would take him over Lance Broadway. How many White Sox pitching debuts within the last 12 years end on a 6IP, 1ER, 7K performance? Edited June 17, 200619 yr by Flash Tizzle

June 18, 200619 yr QUOTE(The-Legend-Of-Pujols @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 03:45 PM) Carlos Marmol will be better than any Sox pitcher in a couple of years you can bet on that. I HATE the Cubs because Im a Die Hard Cardinals fan but Marmol is my favorite pitcher in the league because he has a cannon for an arm and is so poise and has a great curveball with an upper 90's fastball. Carlos Marmol will be the Rookie-Of the-Year. ::coughcubfancough::

GMAB, Flash. I'm almost certain you didn't even know who Marmol was until last week. You just love taking shots at our minor leaguers.

June 18, 200619 yr QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 07:43 AM) it's possible this poster may actually be Carlos Marmol. Actually, my guess, especially after today, is that he's the Cubs Scouting director.
June 18, 200619 yr To be perfectly honest, I didn't expect the Cubs to win a game against Detroit. The motor city kitties hit 6 home runs today against the Flubs pitching.
June 18, 200619 yr Yeah, they are pathetic. But we are on our game, so either the Tigers will fall behind us, or the 2 of us will blow everybody away and lock it that the AL Central gets a Wild Card berth (which it will IMO).

June 19, 200619 yr Yeah, that was a fun game to watch. Although I'm getting a little sick of checking the scoreboard after we win games and seeing the White Sox won too. We have the best record in baseball and I can't even feel safe in that because there your team is 1.5 games behind and they won't go away. Oh well, if we can just play a few games above .500 ball the rest of the season we should have a very good shot at our first playoff appearance since 1987 (sad, I know). I still think there are a few too many holes on the team (hopefully some of the holes in the lineup are patched up at the ASB) to win it all but it would at least be nice to play post season baseball for once.
June 19, 200619 yr QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) I'm hoping for a Prior return on Sunday. Well, f*** me!
June 19, 200619 yr This Jerome Williams?(this years ML stats for Jerome williams) If I were Dusty (*shudder*) I would take my chances with Glendon Rusch. Are you kidding me? Rusch is a washed-up veteren. Williams is only like 23. If I were to tank, I'd rather do it with a bunch of kids than washed-up veterens.

June 19, 200619 yr Im hoping the tiggers and the sox both get in the playoffs, but i want this division..you guys can take the wild card

If I were to tank, I'd rather do it with a bunch of kids than washed-up veterens. Have you seen Jerome Williams pitch? The guy is worse than Glendon Rusch. The Cubs have needed a starter all year and they have brought up Rich Hill, Angel Guzman, and Carlos Marmol before they brought up Jerome Williams, that should tell you something right there.
June 19, 200619 yr Well, the freaking Cubs got swept, and swept CONVINCINGLY. The Tigers just outclassed them all the way around, and the usually Fluffy Cloudesque Santo and Hughes had no choice but to commend the Tigers on how good they really are. There was really interesting chatter between the two announcers comparing the Tigers and White Sox, and Santo, who Ive maligned quite freqently, did his homework and made some interesting comparisons and had some good and lucid thoughts on the two teams. Cheers to Santo for being interesting, always nice to hear good baseball banter.
June 19, 200619 yr From what I read those 8 home runs tied a Tigers franchise record. Leave it to the Flubs to give up 8 home runs.
