Haven't posted in a couple of days, partly due to laziness and partly due to the fact that this team is about as uninspiring as it gets. Allow me to recap after the kick in the balls known as the Colorado series:
Aramis Ramirez is broken
Tom Gorzelanny is broken
Carlos Zambrano is broken
Some guy named Esmailin Caridad is on the team
In Sunday's game, the Cubs left 28 men on base. Oh yeah, they didn't even have one walk.
Aaron Miles is healthy
The Cubs are 1-4 since they activated Miles
The Cubs are 21-30 in games that Aaron Miles plays
The Cubs are now 3 games out of first

And Kevin Gregg can't get three outs at the end of a game...probably time Lou stops making excuses ("look, he's probably feeling pressured because we're in Florida. Once we get out of here, I'm sure he'll return to dominating hitters") and calls it what it is......Michael Wuertz with goggles!
I don't really share the Kevin Gregg hatred. I don't really care for him but I don't think he's been awful except for the Florida series.
If you're talking about last night's game, I think the blame falls squarely on Marmol or Lou. Marmol enters with it tied and leaves the game after giving up one run on NO HITS after 2/3 of an inning. Lou didn't get Grabow in the game fast enough to face the lefties and then he lets Gregg, who just as recently as this weekend was said to have a tired arm, pitch two innings in relief.
I don't mean to be a Gregg apologist, but it never should have gotten to the point for him to take the loss. Although, it's a bad combination that our 8th inning guy leads MLB in hitting batters and our 9th inning guy leads in HR's allowed...
