OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Nice job by Gregg to piss all over one of the best-pitched games of the year.

Hey, he pisses away the poorly-pitched ones too. At least he's consistent.

And he's all ours for another year. Don't you just love it?

I'm now on board with the Kevin Gregg Hate.  Any time you walk that liver-deficient albino Eckstein, you deserve a steel tip kick to the dick.
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

What made it even better was listening to Santo moan the whole goddamn inning after the walk. I was hoping Gregg would make him shut his damn mouth, but Ron Santo was fucking right...

If Lou doesn't channel Hal MacRae after this one it's never gonna happen.

He's a Free Agent at the end of the year, I believe.

So we've got that going for us.

I didn't think it was possible but I hate this motherfucking pussy more than I hated LaTroy and Goose Fucking Gossage.

Who cares if it happens or not?  Hal McRae's a butthole and throwing shit off the desk isn't going to change this team's fortunes.

I know. I'm just surprised he hasn't gone off yet.

The guys at Wikipedia are having a hell of a time cleaning up Gregg's wikipedia page right now.

Gregg finally loses his job:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-18-cubs-padres-chicago-aug18,0,2154939.story

SAN DIEGO - Lou Piniella has finally seen enough.

After Kevin Gregg gave up four two-out runs in the ninth inning in a 4-1 loss to the Padres on Monday night, Piniella said he plans on removing Gregg from the closer's role.

"I think we're going to make some changes as far as what we're going to do in late innings," Piniella said. "We'll have some more tomorrow."

Piniella didn't say who would be his new closer, though Carlos Marmol and Angel Guzman are considered the likeliest candidates.

Gregg blew his sixth save of the year and third in August, giving up a tying double to Chase Headley, and, after an intentional walk, a three-run homer to Kyle Banks. It was about as tough a loss as the Cubs have suffered.
