The Age of The Marmot gets a big 'ole positive from PPE.

Agreed.
He was downright sick in the 8th.
In the 9th, the banjo player at second base should have turned two, but instead played the ball to the side like a scared little leaguer. It didn't faze the Marmot, who got the next two hitters to escape the jam he hardly created.
But isn't there already a Marmot Sploogey somewhere around here?

Probably. But we don't play "bandwidth is sacred" bullshit games here. I was too lazy to do a search, so sue me. The Marmot is so good, he deserves multiple splooges in any event.

Well well well, aren't YOU a considerate bloke? I assume you've got a closet full of Hank White Fan Club T-Shirts, then. Besides, the search engine here is painfully simple.

Also, as a supplement to Marmol, I'm still holding out hope for Wood. I just don't trust Howry.

Said it a million times--the deal with Howry is that he's one of those odd guys that pitches BETTER when he's used frequently. When he gets infrequent work, he sucks. When did Howry pitch his best this year? Answer--when Dempster was out.
Another reliever with an odd usage pattern is Mike Wuertz. When he starts an inning fresh, he stinks. But when he comes in with men on base, he's money (2nd best pctg for not letting inherited runners score in the NL....behind the Marmot).
Will F. Ohman is an oddball, too. If he's used in a major league baseball game, he sucks.
Kerry Wood, I dunno, love the guy like everyone else, but he strikes me as more of a circus curiosity than anything else. Bit player.

That's some funny shit, right there.
Is Kerry still on the team? Has anybody seen him? Bueller? Bueller?

I'm guessing one of two things:
- Either Piniella doesn't want to use him in close games yet, or:
- He's toast, and they're waiting until they're back in Chicago to announce it.

There's zippy chance they're using a roster spot at this juncture (in 1st place in late August) with someone who they don't feel can contribute anything. So there's no way he's considered "toast".
I don't know why Lou would put him in tight situations when he has enough effective right-handed bullpen help right now. However, after two nights of fairly active bullpen use, Kerry might want to be ready today regardless of the situation.
Woody was warming up Monday or Tuesday, I forget which. Didn't he get into Monday's game?
I really believe Kerry's fine and just being used cautiously. I've got no problem with that. He was good his last outing, right? No worries here.
Let's hope Z goes 9 and makes this moot.

Wood pitched the 7th inning on Monday's game and went 1-2-3. He came in after Piggy gave up a lead off home run.

I think Barroid's head would just pop like the big fucking balloon it is.
I'd be surprised if Bonds is in the line-up today (day game following a night game).
I watched some of the Brewers-D'backs game last night. It's huge that the Cubs miss facing Webb in the next series. With their patience and plate discipline (though improved over previous seasons), they'd have been shut out.

They beat him at Wrigley last month. But I am ecstatic that they'll finish the 2007 regular season with a 1.000 winning percentage against him. Maybe they'll miss him in the playoffs too. But I doubt it.

I think it was during the first game of the series when Barriod was being intentionally walked and after ball 2 he rather disgustedly whipped off some of the 900 lbs of armor plating that he wears at the plate. Now that's bravery.

Pretty sure you can just throw in the general direction of the dugout, and let the gravational pull of Barroid's head take over, that thing is the size of a planatoid.

Most of the steroids likely entered through his ass. Therefore, it functions as the hub/epicenter of the Barry universe. You'll also notice that he generally talks through it, as well.
Despite the ginormity of his head, it really functions more as a "moon".

High and tight.
At the very least, have Kendall step back into the catcher's box as if they're pitching to him until Barry asks for time to reattach his prosthetic arm, only to come back to walk on two more intentional balls.

is something you shoot in your butt.
My favorite part of the Barry intentional walk is that it looked like Lou told him they were going to do it. After the mound visit he walked right past the plate and smiled and said something to Barry. I'm almost positive he told him they weren't pitching to him.
I think it'd be funny if Barry would actually throw the bat away with the elbow guard on ball three and see if the other team still intentionally throws ball four. I'd be surprised if they even noticed, but how great would it be to see a guy without a bat get intentionally walked?

If Barroid took no bat to the plate whatsoever, he'd still the best hitter in that sorry Giants lineup.
Boche fucked up though last night, in my opinion. I've criticized Lou for this in the past with Cliff Floyd, so why not when the other manager does it with Barry Bonds in
that shitty lineup...
What is this trend of pinch-running for your best hitters in a
tied game? To me, it seems far less likely that the extra bit of speed will make more of a difference, than keeping that player in for possible extra innings. I realize some of these power hitters are slow, and perhaps even lazy...but it's not exactly akin to going from a 90 yar-old in a walker to Ben Johnson, either. Not only that, but you have one less option left on your bench. It just seems like an extra-bad play in the National League.
I wouldn't be surprised if anticipating that move by Boche made walking Barry go from an easy decision to an absolute slam-dunk, nothing to think about type of decision. Not only do you not have to pitch to him, but he'll be out of the game completely.

My favorite part of the Barry intentional walk is that it looked like Lou told him they were going to do it. After the mound visit he walked right past the plate and smiled and said something to Barry. I'm almost positive he told him they weren't pitching to him.
I think it'd be funny if Barry would actually throw the bat away with the elbow guard on ball three and see if the other team still intentionally throws ball four. I'd be surprised if they even noticed, but how great would it be to see a guy without a bat get intentionally walked?
If Barroid took no bat to the plate whatsoever, he'd still the best hitter in that sorry Giants lineup.
Boche fucked up though last night, in my opinion. I've criticized Lou for this in the past with Cliff Floyd, so why not when the other manager does it with Barry Bonds in that shitty lineup...

I told my friend the same thing while we were at the bar. You force the Giants to burn a bench player--but the only thing is that if it's Gary Roberts, you all but hand them 2nd as well. A 2-base walk and Bonds out of the lineup is still better than a ball in the Cove, but it doesn't seem like an altogether easy decision in that instance.
As for pinch-running Pie, I think that was the absolutely correct move. You need that run, bad. It'll make a huge difference on a single that's in-between whether to send or hold him, or on a ball hit like Kendall's, if you send the runner on contact or not. I think that might be the biggest difference. You aren't going to see that spot batting for another 2 innings (most likely), it's the go-ahead run, and in a close game, you probably want the superior defense and fresh legs. I think it was the right move.
Oh, and had Pie hit that ball, he would've been standing on second. Clifford just barely got in. That's the difference in speed right there. A lot.

Yea, the Pie move last night was fine because he was being placed in scoring position with no one out...and because it was Cliff Floyd, not Barry Bonds leaving the game. The chance that his speed comes into play is far greater when you still have three chances to get him in.
In the case of Bonds being removed, there were already two outs and more than just a simple single was needed for it to have made any difference in the outcome.
One specific goof Lou made earlier in the year with pinch hitters and intentional walks, had to do with him using Darryle Ward as a pinch hitter in the manner below. Here's the inning transcript from the April 23rd loss against Milwaukee. The score was 4-4 at the time after Scott Eyre had just wet the bed and cost Z a chance to win. Here, Lou essentially burned two bench players to get speed for a player (Hank) who was
neither the tying or go-ahead run. They ended up losing the game in 12 innings, and running out of position players.
Bottom 8th: Chi Cubs - C. Villanueva relieved K. Mench
- A. Ramirez walked
- J. Jones sacrificed to first, A. Ramirez to second
- M. DeRosa struck out swinging
- D. Ward hit for H. Blanco
- D. Ward intentionally walked
- M. Barrett hit for C. Izturis
- R. Cedeno ran for D. Ward
- M. Barrett lined out to left
So my point, is that Lou himself has been a little pinch-run happy at times. It's especially odd considering how much he hates to bunt.

Except Roberts was put in to steal his way into scoring position. And that steal was pretty much kismet against Manson's arm, fireballer on the mound or no.
Those 2 outs do make it a tough call, though, with the prospect of extra innings. And, considering the Giants were playing at home, and bearing in mind the disparity in power between Bonds and everyone else, yeah, I think I agree that losing Bonds' bat was probably too high a price for a single opportunity at pushing across the winning run.
But I don't think it was quite as bad of a call as you're making it out to be.

Fair enough. But that's working off the presumption at the time that the stolen base is certain.
Even as bad as Kendall has been, there was still a 10%-15% shot that Roberts could've been thrown out by Manson. Or, there's the possibility that Benji either fouls off or puts the first pitch into play. If Benji does take pitches to let Roberts steal he's more likely to fall behind in the count, first base is open, and then Carlos can essenitally pitch him using only unhittable dogshit (which is pretty much what happened).
So to me, it's not exactly as simple as Lou having chosen to "walk" Dave Roberts to 2nd base.

Damnit, I've been too busy today, but I was going to write a post about drilling Bonds in the elbow once he removed his guard and now I read this. Ah, screw you guys. I'm doing it tonight, anyhow.

Fun facts about Marmol:
Since July 20th, Marmol has gone 13 innings without allowing a run to score. In that time, he's given up 2 hits, 8 walks, and he's struck out 17.
He's also gone 8.1 innings in a row without surrendering a hit. In that time, he's walked 3, and he's struck out 12.
One month ago, his ERA was 4.13.
Today, it's 2.89. In other words, it's dropped 1.24 runs in less than 30 days; in fact, it's taken 19.
Splooge, anybody?

So, if I mention he's 2 outs away from a no-hitter right now, does that jinx him?
I think tonight, when he comes in to pitch, after he gets the second out, Soto should throw his mask in the air, run out and hug him and the whole team should come in jumping up and down. Even if there are just two out in the eighth and all 19 Marlins fans have no idea what's going on. It'd just be funny.

Douchebag moment: I thought a no-hitter comes from starting a game and going 9 innings without allowing a hit. /douchebag moment
I don't think it'll jinx him per se, but if we're aware of it and he's aware of it, I'll bet that somebody gets a hit off him the next time he pitches.
Considering what a big deal the Chicago media made of that fat whore Bobby Jenks' "perfect game" (or no-hitter, or whatever the hell it was), I say it counts.
I'm just glad he's back. Now we just need to replace Howry.

RotoWorld, MLB.com and a couple other recaps of the game keep mentioning how the Phils got hosed (well, RotoWorld is the only place so explicit about it) with the ball 4 to Kos-K and Howard being safe at first. Welke had an absolutely terrible strike zone the whole game, calling pitches for strikes below the ankles. That pitch to Kos-K was maybe about ankle-high, and he called it a ball. Finally, the Cubs got a call in their favor. Then on the play with Howard, none of it would have mattered if on the earlier play that inning (can't remember if it was Utley or Victorino), the Cubs turned two and the first-base ump blew the call.
I didn't see much of the game but I know for a fact that the Phillies are bunch of cocksmoking douchesickles with a fat, retarded redneck for a manager and they deserve whatever happens to them. The umps called a pristine game of baseball today as evidenced by the final score. Fuck Phillie and everything it stands for, except for brotherhood and Donovan McNabb.

Howard was safe, but whoever earlier that inning should have grounded into the DP on the ball Theriot drove into the ground about 30 feet from Lee, was called safe. THOSE even out. I'd say Kos-K's called ball 4 evens out all the ridiculous calls Welke was making on balls low and out of the zone from Blanton.

It was bad officiating for both teams. The breaks we caught got us a run and kept them from getting a run. Dems da breaks. Still, getting to one of the better (I won't say best even with their ERA) pens in the league two games in a row should be a huge confidence boost.

Watch your fucking tongue. Lou Piniella is a genius and the Cubs are lucky to have him.

Actually, Marmol's pitching to be limited, for now! (http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100416&content_id=9340538¬ebook_id=9340578&vkey=notebook_chc&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc)
Bump for a guy who's now striking out 18 batters per nine innings.
Do you think opposing hitters dread the very sight of Larry Rothschild when Marmol's in the game? If somebody is really on their game they can tell us what opposing batters' OBP is before and after Larry's obligatory mound visits in the 9th this year. I that bet shit's pretty stark.
ALRRY ROTHSCHILD IS TEH TRUTH???

Nothing made me happier than turning on the Sux game yesterday when it was 10-8 in the ninth, just in time to see Detroit tack on a few more runs. It was even more glorious when Stone explained that the Sux gave up 3 in the top of 8th. I then realized that Stone was doing the play by play, too. I was hoping Harrelson hurled himself out of the press box into the seats.

He needs to step onto 35th and get hit by an AIDS bus.

I just hope I'm here when you shrug your mortal coil due to asphyxiation after huffing HelmetNacho residual fumes after a robust 69 session with ChubbieJulie.
He sucks.
I used to love watching Marmol pitch. Now I dread it. Even last night, when he went 1-2-3 in the 9th, it was utter anguish to watch, as he started out 0-2 on Drew Stubbs and the wet newspaper that Stubbs customarily brings with him to the plate, and then threw three straight balls before getting a borderline called Strike 3. It sucks that his trade value is pretty much nil, but I don't even care anymore. Just. Go. Away.

Oh, he will.
After they pay him $10 million next season to pitch in Chicago or somewhere else. Blurgh.
Hey, the Yankees need a closer!

At this time yesterday, my two closers in the Desipio Fantasy League were Mariano Rivera and Carlos Marmol.
Which makes it extra awesome that I already used up all my waiver moves this week on Joe Saunders, Wade Miley and Anthony Bass, who will all likely be gone from my team within 3 weeks.
