Game One

Sorry Bulls (and Sox) fans, but I'm in full-on Cubs mode until at least Saturday, and hopefully a lot longer. Of course, there's not much to say about this game: Webb pitched a gem, I can't get too irate over how shitty the Cubs looked at the plate. I guess the noise they'll use to fill up air on talk radio is that Lou took Z out too soon. While I would've liked to see him pitch another inning, any serious complaining about that is hindsight garbage. Marmol has been the best pitcher on the staff, starter or bullpen. Period. The hope is that this'll make him tougher, not ruined, and if it does ruin him, then the Cubs aren't going to do anything in the post-season any way. This kid saved our season this year, and he'll get another chance to save the postseason. Here's hoping he's up to it.
