I do agree, I have no idea how Lou is going to trust Howry in a relief situation when he gives up runs like these. He has to keep his composure and pitch no matter the situation.
And I was cursing all the way through extra innings in that game dreading that Marmol was getting closer and closer to a disaster on the national stage.
In retrospect, seems to have been just what he needed
With "The Hoff" tearing it up in Iowa, is there any reason for him to stay there?
I have no idea if anyone could be moved on the big league squad (cough***Ward****Cough) to make space for him. He has nothing left to prove in the minors. Well…..maybe defensively, but the dude can rake.
the title “the dark Knight” does not refer to batman directly (point to the history of the comic all you want). Rather it points to the arc of the story of Harvey “the White Knight of Gotham” turning into a “dark” merchant of vengence.
But I don’t believe in Ward, the injuries have caught up to him. And I would like Hoff to get used to the pressure now so that he could handle it in the post season….if we get there (no jinxes).
Yeah....but it sets up some interesting plot points for a third film...some nice conflicts to play in the background
I am more bummed by the final scene in general. I just didn’t care about the characters in general, and with that minor conflict in place, the ending felt flat. Especially following two hours of awesome.
We’ve hit Florida pretty hard in the last 4 years, and the Orange Bowl is all that’s left, but I’d obviously prefer a trip to Pasadena over another Outback or Capital One Bowl game!
last game I was at Wrigley. I used the little sign language I knew and he taught me all these Cubs related signs. Great experience. Anyways, I’m outtie. Night. Go Cubs
But when I Google “Chinese Women Age”, and find hundreds of articles…and considering the fireworks, the weather, the 7 year-old girl, and the city landscape is all fake fake fake, I’ll give up that benefit of doubt.

Gurbal - August 14, 2008
I just dropped in to say...
… can we never, EVER let Bob Howry near a major league mound again?
Thank you. I’m out of here again. Let’s win this game!
Al Yellon - August 14, 2008
Shitty because he did OK yest.
malicedoom - August 14, 2008
yeah.
he’s lost his consistency.
drewishdrewid - August 14, 2008
I think if Howry was on the playoff roster
And we had a 5-7 run lead late in the game, and he came in and blew it…I think I’d kill myself.
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
if it’s any consolation, this post made me laugh out loud.
yeah howry has to go.
Ryno72 - August 14, 2008
lol...
wouldn’t you want to kill him first? A quest for vengance and anger?
drewishdrewid - August 14, 2008
I think I'd get suspended from Wrigley for doing this
If you get in trouble for running on the field…imagine the repercussions for anything else!! Not worth it.
(sarcasm, all of it)

i think it would give the cops motive

There is no way to defend him staying on the team. Activate Lieber from the DL and DFA Howry.

aznsensation - August 14, 2008
He had a 7 run lead! Pretty good situation.
I can’t see the game, did he lose his composure? I think he’s got to go.
mlern - August 14, 2008
I'm just picturing Lou turning to Howry in a big playoff situation
or worse in a game like this during the playoffs and we have to sweat it out.

DC Cubbie - August 14, 2008
Two out!
nji232 - August 14, 2008
I hope that Lou begins to let his starters throw an extra inning here and there.
I fear that he may burn out that bullpen. Just throwing that out there.
tapdeer - August 14, 2008
It Tie for the REAL Marmol to please stnd up ...
…please stand up….. and take a bow!!
Good to see Carlos throwing darts.
Seismic Stallion - August 14, 2008
Nice and easy
Marmol is awesome
love the ivy - August 14, 2008
SWEET!
Nice play by Lee, then nice play by Marmol!
He may be able to come out for the 9th!
drewishdrewid - August 14, 2008
Although I don't think Lieber is the answer,
Howry can’t be trusted anymore. I think Lou has been more than patient. It’s time to look for other answers.
Rick B - August 14, 2008
Bob Howry
THATS HOW A MAJOR LEAGUE PITCHER IS SUPPOSED TO PITCH
Good job Marmol!
nji232 - August 14, 2008
11 pitches on the night for marmol, not bad

good old Carlos!
LAcarl519 - August 14, 2008
That all star game seemed to work wonders for Carlos's confidence.
tapdeer - August 14, 2008
Yeah I was mad when they named him to the team, but getting that big K on the Sox guy may have turned his season around

And I was cursing all the way through extra innings in that game dreading that Marmol was getting closer and closer to a disaster on the national stage.
In retrospect, seems to have been just what he needed
The Deputy Mayor of Rush Street - August 14, 2008
How did Howry give up the runs?
And can we bring back Scotty Ire back?
Jayo525 - August 14, 2008

and a big ol’ long ball.

the title “the dark Knight” does not refer to batman directly (point to the history of the comic all you want). Rather it points to the arc of the story of Harvey “the White Knight of Gotham” turning into a “dark” merchant of vengence.
But I don’t believe in Ward, the injuries have caught up to him. And I would like Hoff to get used to the pressure now so that he could handle it in the post season….if we get there (no jinxes).
tapdeer - August 14, 2008
Spoiler alert!
I was a bit disappointed in the plotline of Batman taking the blame for the police officers getting killed, although I understood it.
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
Yeah....but it sets up some interesting plot points for a third film...some nice conflicts to play in the background
I am more bummed by the final scene in general. I just didn’t care about the characters in general, and with that minor conflict in place, the ending felt flat. Especially following two hours of awesome.
tapdeer - August 14, 2008

I think Cox knew it was coming, and it’s over with.
Looked like he tried to break up the fight
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
does howry get a hold
for that worthless outing
tim815 - August 14, 2008
Has to be a potential save situation
to qualify for a “hold”, IIRC.

also has a size 14 feet.
Madison Cub Fan - August 14, 2008
Just 1?
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
that's not his foot.
drewishdrewid - August 14, 2008
There's no correlation, if that's what you're wondering.
zevkalman - August 14, 2008
What do you mean?
Big feet, big shoes.
That’s what I always heard.
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
I know that.. I wasnt being dirty
I just thought wow.
Madison Cub Fan - August 14, 2008
he eats like a beast apparently.
tapdeer - August 14, 2008
8 to 10 thousand
calories a day
sue369 - August 14, 2008
I can eat that during a game thread...
potato chips and beer..lol..
Bump Bailey - August 14, 2008
mine is trail mix or fruit
Madison Cub Fan - August 14, 2008
I wonder what he will do after swimming. He has no other ambitions other than sitting on the couch apparently. Coach, I guess. That and live with mom.
tapdeer - August 14, 2008
Nope he'll have
his own place when he moves back
sue369 - August 14, 2008
what the hell was THAT, blue???
drewishdrewid - August 14, 2008
Got to make us wait just a bit more
nji232 - August 14, 2008
Braves announcers just said
The last time they won 8 in a row on the road was 1945. Just seems like anytime we do something good the 1945 or 1908 dates just pop up
cubsfaninatl - August 14, 2008
what happened in 1908 and 1945? i haven’t heard anything.
Ryno72 - August 14, 2008
WWII ended in 1945
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
sweet.
Ryno72 - August 14, 2008
In 1908
First time for ball dropped in Times Square (didn’t know, just Googled).
No record if Ron Santo yelled, “OOOHHHHH NOOOOO!!!!”
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
bzzzt. sorry. he yelled GEE WHIZ!!!
Ryno72 - August 14, 2008
not, “AW JEEZ”?
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
we will accept AW JEEZ.
you have to sigh real big and act all dramatic though.
Ryno72 - August 14, 2008
and pound the countertop
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
and then talk for 10 minutes about how great your new fax machine is, completely ignoring what is happening on the field.
Ryno72 - August 14, 2008
or talk about a toup
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
AW JEEZ.
Ryno72 - August 14, 2008
how did that runner get on base?
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008

and now, more about my new fax machine.
Ryno72 - August 14, 2008
he used to say
donation to cure JDRF.
I think someone talked to him about that…
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
someone did talk to him about it. and he kicked the dirt and said AW JEEZ.
must go watch phelps…. have a great evening.
Ryno72 - August 14, 2008

Badgers are goin to Rose Bowl this year
But my Jayhawks won the Orange Bowl last year
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
I'd be ok with Rose
But would like to see National Championship someday…
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
that would be nice!
We’ve hit Florida pretty hard in the last 4 years, and the Orange Bowl is all that’s left, but I’d obviously prefer a trip to Pasadena over another Outback or Capital One Bowl game!
stadiumguru - August 14, 2008
I have two Michigan shirts
One says “ANN ARBOR IS A WHORE”
And the other says “F—- MICHIGAN” and Bucky is on the back flicking you off
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008

Your shirt is what my Ann Arbor quote is supposed to say, though bore fits as well

And making a farm of “Olympians” doesn’t pan out
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
I'm not so sure they are lying, Dan
Chinese women generally look younger than what they are.
Plus, they’ve gone thru years of intense training.
Shanghai Badger - August 14, 2008
Benefit of the doubt, sure
But when I Google “Chinese Women Age”, and find hundreds of articles…and considering the fireworks, the weather, the 7 year-old girl, and the city landscape is all fake fake fake, I’ll give up that benefit of doubt.
Dan
dtpollitt - August 14, 2008
Funny thing about the landscape
They actually spray-painted the grass green when the IOC was touring years ago.

The disparity between the haves and have-nots in Shanghai can be quite striking
