Question...and it may have already been discussed
What’s the point in selecting Marmol if he can’t pitch?
Nice bunt
If someone would have done that a few innings ago, this would probably be over.
Coffee is for closers
you take the out like the 3 points in football?
i’m not even going to analyze…

Fortunately, he's Brett Lawrie's favorite player too

Disagree
This is Hurdle not f’ing up the playoff-bound pitchers.
I think it’s awesome.

"If there is a more reactionary blog with idiotic commentary out there I'd be surprised." -On Bleed Cubbie Blue
Just heard the commentary guys giving Francona praise for the same thing...
I am sure they have been balanced and praising Hurdle even though he is not from Boston or New York.

His first two innings, 3 outs at home plate, 1 CS...
He’s on fire! Leave him in!

Joe Buck doesn't know he's sucked recently

And neck size to baby eating ratio.
so no one wants to win apparently...

They get like 300 hits a day
So there’s probably about three really pissed off dudes

Uggla up fourth in the inning
I’ll laugh out loud if he wins the game and gets named MVP for it.

I don't know if you guys know this
But the tie breaker rules read as such:
In the event of a game that is taking way too long, Guillermo Mota will pitch for each team and whoever scores the most runs wins. After the game he shall follow Dan Uggla to the Empire State building.

this thread is more interesting than the game
I’ve been waiting for Kinsler to boot one all night but he hasn’t. The Rangers need to trade for Morneau or something.
When even Carlos Marmol can’t pitch crappily, there’s a problem.
give him a 2nd inning

Just wait till someone gets drunk enough to start hitting on you

Remember when Manny Parra threw a quality start-equivalent in relief?
Here is your assignment, Brandon Webb, should you decide to accept it…
Kazmir's only gonna go two innings, max
Then, apparently, Terry Francona will rebel.

kazmir doesn't look right...

Huh?
Am I delirious from this long, often boring endeavor? That wasn’t a terrible throw, the play was close.
"My thing is that you guys eat meat all day and you can't hit a ball. That's my thing." - P. Fielder
How so?
There aren’t that many right fielders that could make that throw without a hop, and it was fairly dead on.
"My thing is that you guys eat meat all day and you can't hit a ball. That's my thing." - P. Fielder
not horrible
but two hops? close only counts in horseshoes and hand gernades
Now the Brewers have to iwn on the road in the WS

Do not despair
this ensures that the final game of the World Series (game 4) will be played at Miller Park, so the Brewers can win it at home. Imagine the crowd’s excitement over McClung’s no-hitter and Branyan’s four homers!
And neck size to baby eating ratio.
