[Spear]

Marmol doin his best to give away the game, surprise

**** Marmol...Christ

Great effort soriano on gettin that ball back in...

 

[MRubio52]

Marmol is toast. I can't see him holding the CL spot over Fujikawa now.

 

[CreepyBasementGuy]

Gotta build him up to trade him.

That trade value is going up now...cant we just give him away..

 

[ChicagoGr]

Its not a long time since I watched my first baseball game and there are many things I still dont fully understand BUT EVEN I CAN SEE HOW BAD MARMOL IS.

 

[85Bears4life]

3-2

Just cut marmol already

PLEASE

 

[CreepyBasementGuy]

After all this time he's been doing this, only the sorry orginzation like the Cubs would keep sending him out there.

If it was 1-0 we would have lost by now.

 

[Spear]

Ruled a hit but rizzo should have had that.. still a bad 0-2 pitch from marmol

 

[85Bears4life]

Holy crap...he got someone out

 

[85Bears4life]

Double play...

Cubs win(barely)

3-2

 

[Spear]

Double play cubs win

 

[CreepyBasementGuy]

If I see Marmol in another 9th inning, I'm done watching the Cubs. Will switch over to the Sox.

 

[Mr. Cub]

Holy shit. We somehow escaped Marmol. What happened to this guy? Just 2 years ago he was lights out.

 

[ChicagoGr]

Why are the Cubs so stupid and let Marmol pitch in 9th?
Fujikawa has to take the CL spot!

 

[MRubio52]

If I see Marmol in another 9th inning, I'm done watching the Cubs. Will switch over to the Sox.

It's warmer over here.

 

[Rice Cube]

And we're done! Who wants to make the Atlanta series thread?

 

[Shawon0Meter]

Marmol is so predictable! The value is gone and it's not coming back. Let's move on. I don't care how bad this team is supposed to be, April is not the time to give games away.

 

[Mr. Cub]

And we're done! Who wants to make the Atlanta series thread?

I got you!

 

[Rice Cube]

A recap for folks who missed the fun:

The Cubs are trying to give Marmol the chance to get in a groove and increase his value. Right now he wouldn't be successful for Kane County. He loses control and always digs himself a hole. Good thing today he came through and didn't completely blow the game.
