Lilly gets the win, throwing 8 plus and allowing 2 runs. Also, he attained the rarely seen platinum sombrero, or "olympic rings", as he went 0 for 5 with 5 strikeouts at the plate. Also, for reasons only known to Lou, he brings in Kerry Wood in a 9-0 game, allowing him to waste 28 pitches in a blowout spot.

Kerry hadn't pitched in 4 games, hell, he was so bored, he had to flick somebody off. What else was Lou supposed to do?

Gammons saying Cubs may not have enough to get Sabathia. He said the Brewers AA team is stacked with prospects, some scouts were telling him it might have the best prospects on one team they've ever seen. Flipped on the Cubs game and Len and Bob said the Cards might be interested in Holiday. If the Brewers get Sabathia and the Cardinals get Holiday, that will be one hell of a race between those three teams

You mean "one hell of a race between the Brewers and the Cards"?

He could have waited until tonight, knowing it'd probably be a close and tough game with Cain pitching. But oh well, not our concern, and the Cubs lose again. They are having a hard time with the injuries, well and they aren't playing good baseball at all either.

Well last year's NL Central "race" was certainly like that. The Brewers and Cubs desperately tried to choke away the division. It was epic.

Haha a bunch of Cubs fan friends sang Go Cubs Go at me today but then I told them the powerhouse Giants won.

There are alot of those fans that think the White Sox wrote, Lets go go whitesox in reaction to Go Cubs Go.

I don't mind fight songs and Lets go go go white sox is no winner, but Blow Cubs Blow is seriously the worst ever....and not just because it's a Cubs song. They should have stuck with that Green Day song, 'Time of your life'??

Not if the Cards get Holliday and the Brewers get Fuentes and Sabathia. Then, it'll be a 2 team race for first with the Cubs in 3rd.

Which of course makes sense, since Go Go White Sox was written in 1959 and Go Cubs Go was written in 1984.

 

The book is officially out on Carlos Marmol. Unless he hangs it obviously, take the slider at all times because as nasty as it is, it won't stay in the zone. Then, crush the fastball because it's his only other pitch. Either that, or Marmol's overuse has caught up to him, or perhaps it's a mix of both.
