Randy Wells and the Curse of the Bullpen

Randy Wells

Well now Randy Wells knows that he better damn well pitch a no-hitter in order to get a major league win. For someone who claims that he doesn't have "Ace stuff," he is sure surprising me. All night long he got ahead in the count and consistently threw strikes. Great performance Randy! Now as for Marmol & Gregg ...

Rothchild & Piniella continue to be (unfortunately) correct with their pre-season diagnosis of Carlos Marmol's pitching mentality. Five hit batters? I've lost count as to how many times he has walked the first batter he has seen with four straight pitches. And Kevin "still can't find the strike zone" Gregg -- what the hell? He was up 1 ball and 2 strikes to Jeff Franceour and then decides to throw one right down the middle. It's June already! Please start pitching like you are a professional!

Other rants on a truly miserable loss. Hey Milton "Let's Not Play Today" Bradley, how many times are you going to get hurt running to first base? What's it going to take to get over this problem? Extra stretching? Riding a stationary bike in the dugout? Yoga classes?
Hey Bobby Scales, you spent 11 years in the minor leagues and still haven't mastered the art of laying down a bunt?
Hey Alfonso Soriano, how about even attempting a throw at the end of the game to try and get the winning run from scoring? I absolutely hate the Desginated Hitter rule in the American League, but as long as Soriano remains a Cub I am going to petition the commissioner to institute the DH in the NL. Soriano belongs on the All Star team of crappy outfielders along with Adam Dunn and Chris Duncan.
