Seriously, what's up with everyone going to the pen after 5 innings?

These guys (speaking from experience) say you don't need one.

In the Cubs case, their starters have run into too much trouble to risk keeping them in.

I mean I'd rather use the bullpen and have a shot in the playoffs 3 or more straight times than blow the whole wad and not sniff another chance over the next 12 years but hey man whatever floats your boat.

When all is said and done, this era of Cubs baseball will raise as many banners as the 2005 Sox did.

Contreras really did have a Michael Clarke Duncan thing going on.


Does Contreras have a great grandkid pitching anywhere? That guy was nasty.
