The Unresolved Bullpen Angst Thread

[Internet Apex]

There's some good news and bad news here:

The stats are quite encouraging, particularly that 1.08 WHIP. The facial hair will cause me to hop off this dude's bandwagon even as it careens toward Wrigley hell bent for election.

He looks like a villain from the silent film era.

Or this guy...

I am the walrus.

I thought those guys broke up!

Nice blood strainer.

Thanks a lot, mouthbreather.

How many more blown saves and hanging breaking balls do we have to see out of this guy before Piniella gets a clue that this dude ain't got what it takes to close?  If You Seek Amy!

[CubFaninHydePark]

BOOOOOOO!!! Kevin Gregg!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Fuck him.  And Boo.

[Brownie]

All this. Walk the leadoff hitter, hang a curveball. Lose the game.

Then again, who's a better choice to close the game among the junk in the bullpen?

AngeDL Guzman?

Let's be honest, we'd all feel a lot better if it had been Kerry Wood who'd blown that save.  At least he gets it.

[Waco Kid]

Kevin Gregg master of the big fat homerun pitch.

Bruce Sutter?

Gregg's blown like 3 or 4 of these games.  Most of your run-of-the-mill closers will blow about 6 to 8 of these games in a season.  Kevin Gregg is not elite--hell, he has to have his mittens pinned to his jacket in the winter--but  he's actually performed about what you'd expect out of a guy who's not the Fruitbat, not KRod, not the claymation version of Burl Ives from "Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer" (C'mon, work with me here).  He's certainly no worse than Kerry Wood.  This game sucked, but I'm-a-going to refrain from calling for this tard's head just yet.

Huard you beautiful bastard.

Huey is an idiot. How dare he not call for the tard to be tard and feathered. The guy had the nerve to blow a save after being the Cubs best reliever this month. And he's right around 80% in converting save opportunities, about what you'd expect from an average closer. What a gutless asshole.

Edited to note that morph already covered Tardface's acceptable averageness in the Gregg thread.

I think the only reason Huey isn't calling for Gregg's head is the sheer size of it.  Holy crap, you'd need a semi to haul that thing home.
