    Gregg named the closer. I like it a lot. Not that I dont' think Marmol can do it, but he excelled as the 7th or 8th inning shut down guy last year. Also he has had a rough WBC and spring. I think of a former set up man who we tried to have be our closer (I won't mention him since I hate the guy to much, but the year was 04) and I DON'T want a replay of that. Good call Lou!!!

    Yeah Marmol is not closer quality yet. He's faaaaaaar too wild and I'm glad Lou picked Gregg to close.

    Speaking of closers, Kerry Wood looks to be off to a good start thus far.
    Oh and DeRosa had two HRs today.

    Nice W. Z looked good, a leadoff HR is a GREAT way to start the season. Also like HP getting a big pinch hit RBI off the bench.

    Tough L. Need to win the series tonight. How nice was it seeing Hawkins give up a big HR. I don't think there's another former or current Cub I hate more than that guy. He was a worthless piece of shit when he was with the Cubs.

    I plan on it. First off I'm not at work, which is OUTSTANDING. Add in some Cubs wins and it's basicallly paradise. (An announcement of an Alpine Valley show, wouldn't hurt either!!)

    What a pathetic game that was.

    Between Lou's substitutions, Gregg's 55 foot curveballs, Alfo's direction to running down balls, and Riot's decision to go home instead of a pretty easy double play...

    Horrible baseball.

    Your defense sure needs some work. hehe

    Our bats need to get going sooner then later. Wrigley North I think not today. lol With it being good friday I had some tasty fish tacos while tailgating. :) Always a great time at Opening Day. Looking forward to tomorrow's game. :)
