Dale Sveum's Brain Fell Out With his Hair!

What can you say about a game in which your starting pitcher, Matt Garza gives up 0 runs through 7, and you're about to sweep the lowly Met's in NYC, winning 3-0. Then in the 9th inning, your idiot manager, Dale Sveum brings in Carlos Marmol, a pitcher who's been decent in ANY other inning but the 9th, and promptly gives up a Home Run, and then a walk.  Now, right here at this juncture, every Cubs fan in America know's the Cubs will lose if Marmol isn't yanked.  He doesn't have his stuff, and he will now explode the ball game like some sort of baseball terrorist.  But instead of going to the pen.  Dale leaves him in there, to give up another hit, and then the only out recorded, a give away, runners moving bunt. And then the big boom.  A 3 run homer.  Cubs lose 4-3.  Defeat yanked from the jaws of victory.



Listening to a bit of Cubs talk radio after the game.  Everyone.  And I mean everyone who called, and the hosts, all said exactly what I just said.  Fine.  Use Marmol, but not here, and when he doesn't have his stuff, yank him.  The hosts of the show were quick to point out that the Cubs are most likely trying to showcase Marmol in order to shop him for a trade.  Well, guess what?  Not only did Marmol have 0 trade value before this game, but now, you'd be lucky to get a team to take him for some rusty nails, and a dead penguin.

This is NOT Marmol's fault however.  He is trying his hardest.  He just stinks now, especially in the 9th.  This is Dale Sveums fault.  Seriously Dale?  How could let down the other 8 players on that field, who came so close to grinding out a sweep, by bringing in, and KEEPING in Carlos Marmol after you KNOW he doesn't have his stuff and is about to get rocket hard?  Your job is to win baseball games Dale.  Period.  You're an idiot, you should be fired, and I understand fully why Robin Yount shot you.


Now, to give a voice to those diehard fans, who's Father's day was ruined by Carlos and Dale.  Here are some twitter rants about yesterday's fiasco.

Yes, Dale, everyone in freaking Chicago and beyond thinks you're a moron.  Got anything to say to that Dale?  Defend yourself!



Oh I forgot...you're a total idiot....ughh....seriously Dale?  Marmol has trouble with the last 3 outs?  Tell me something I've known for 2 years now.  Really Dale?  He doesn't have the slider he used to?  Wow!    I thought that it was still amazing like 4 years ago!  I didn't realize that his 6.08 era was worse somehow than in 2010 when it was 2.55.   God Dale, a monkey could manage this team better.

Well, off to St. Louis for me...like right now....I hope I don't get stabbed by my Airbnb host.  And would it kill you to not make me look bad in enemy territory?  Tonight the Cubs throw up Travis Wood, 5-5, 2.65 vs.  Shelby Miller, 7-4, 2.21.  Travis vs Shelby.  Two of my least favorite names going at it!  Go cubbies!
