bmags Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 So I'm never going to a cubs game again. We had bleacher seats. Got there before the game began, and got no seat.Then were sitting around 1000 other cubs fans at the same time and left at the sefond inning because we couldn't see. What a bunch of bulls***. If I pay that much, give me a f***ing seat. f*** the cubs and all theif fans. Their sections are divided into ailses and seats, its no that f***ing hard.

fathom Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I wish I could have bet money on Dempster shutting out the Astros today. With his slider and all their righties, there was no chance for Houston to do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Sounds Fair, Rock. I'll check the hyperbole. Still, i love Marmols' stuff and i think it's great to think that Santos is reminding me a lot of him. Edit: Marmol just blew a save. I'm checking in before you people can mock me.

Â cub should have been swept at home by the astros and should have lost two of three to the brewers all at home. They honestly could be in worse shape then the Sox and is my silver lining. The cubs have no fire sale material the Sox have enough fire material in their pen as well as with Konerko especially if the powere stays in there....cub nothing.

Â They'll be "in it" well past the deadline. That's how bad that division is. But they definitely have some valuable assets should they decide (I don't think they would) to go that route.

The difference between Konerko and Lee is that Lee is awild card in free agency who can ask for a decent amount of money. Konerko is almost assurred to have to take a pay cut.

witesoxfan Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 11:23 AM) Like whom? Nathan's injured, so i'll wait to see what comes of that. Who else? Lidge? Unreliable. Papelbon? K-Rod? Pethaps, but given Marmol's dominance it's likely he could be on their level, by the time MO packs it in. Marmol is on the verge of becoming an elite closer, there's no debating that. Â Â QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 11:29 AM) Why is there no debating that? He wasnt exactly stellar last year and we have yet to see what he does this year in a full season. The guy's command comes and goes. He's a walk or a strikeout. Personally, I am not sold on that as something indicative of an elite closer. If I was to pick the "next" closer being one that hasnt been around very long, I would take Andrew Bailey and Joakim Soria well before Marmol. Â Very disappointed in both of you that Broxton's name was not brought up, and he only turns 26 this year. Broxton is filthy. Â I will also say that the only way Marmol is on the verge of becoming an elite closer is if maintains some sort of command of his pitches and if his arm stays on.

We'll probably be stuck with both of ours though still. Does that mean, *shudders*, that the Cubs are actually a step ahead of us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
