Pitch around Poo-holes dummy.

I've read this several times today, and I have to say this is possibly the most ridiculous criticism of a manager I've ever seen.  So you're arguing to put the winning run on first base for free with no outs in the 10th inning?  That's just stupid, no matter who the hitter is.

The hint that they're losing patience is your ticket is Amtrak rather than United.

How long before you can say "Tippecanoe and Tyler Colvin too"?

Marmol's a classy kid. Zambrano could learn something from him.

Marmol sucks. Overrated closer.  Matter of fact, they all suck. I hope Z beats them all into next month, including Quade and Ricketts.

The way things are going, we've got about another week until that storyline changes.  He's getting alarmingly close to 2005 Neifi Perez  territory.

But didn't Neifi save us in 2005?

I thought that was 2004.

Which is like saying that the iceberg saved the Titanic.

“It’s not over yet. Believe me guys, it’s not over for the Cubs.”

Evidently he's been talking to TR.

I keep hearing he did nothing wrong. What's there to apologize for?
