Goin all nine

I have the answer to the Cubs bullpen woes. I do. Ready for it? Are you listening Lou Piniella? Ok....from now on, the Cubs FANTASTIC starters (I'm talkin to you precious little Randy Wells! And Ted Lilly....and even Crazy Carlos Zambrano) are just gonna have to go all nine innings. Yes, forget those middle relievers, screw the set up man, F the closer, you starters are just gonna have to do the job yourselves. Adorable little rookie Randy Wells took a no-no two outs into the 7th inning before mother effin Chipper Jones (hate that guy!) got a single. Wells was cool, got out of the inning, did give up a homer to Garrett Anderson in the 8th (I mean, who hasn't that guy hit a homerun off of?) and Lou decided to bring in the 'pen. Now, normally, this wouldn't be a big deal seeing as the Cubs were up 5-0. But this isn't your "normal" bullpen. Not normal at all. Carlos Marmol came in, usually you can count on Carlos to mow some guys down-not last night. He managed to give the Braves 3 runs, still ok since the Cubbies were leading into the 9th. That's when the Cubs supposed "closer" came into the picture. Mother effin Kevin Gregg, who I would totally hate if it wasn't for the Clark Kent sex appeal he exudes, came into the game, gave up a two-run homer to Jeff Francouer (who is totally hot, but that's neither here nor there), thus killing the dream of little Randy Wells EVER getting his first win in the Majors (ok that may have been a bit dramatic) and sending the game into extras. You can pretty much figure out what happened from here....Cubs lost in 12 innings, us Cubs fans in the chatterbox on Jen's blog were PISSED, I said WAY more curse words than is socially acceptable and everyone went to bed with a bitter taste in their mouths.

I'm still pretty bitter about the game. I mean, your starter has a no-no for SEVEN innings and you lose the game for him? How does this happen??? Wait, I just answered my own question-it's the Cubs, that's how it happened.
