Not having Grabow ready to face those lefties after Marmol walked the leadoff hitter was Dusty Bevington School of Baseball Clown College yearbook inscription material.

This.

Un-fucking-believable. No excuse for not having Grabow ready for the lefties.

I'm not sure how much more of this I can watch.

I will admit that I'm not as angry at these ridiculous losses as I have been in years past. Maybe I'm just getting older. Or looking forward to hockey season.

Stop inciting me. Or is it "enticing"?

I'm not sure if there's been any talk of it, but it considering the state of this pitching staff, it might be worth it for the Cubs to pay John Smoltz the minimum to come in and work out of the bullpen after he's released by the Red Sox.

This makes a ton of sense, seeing how great he was in Boston.

Maybe the Cubs should go after Glavine too, that guy seemed to have a ton left in the tank.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.
