Gregg gets hammered in Beer Town
The Cubs missed a perfect opportunity to take the season opener against the only team in the division that should pose any sort of challenge to the Cubs, those boozers from Milwaukee. Harden pitched a great game and had great stuff with a live fastball reaching 97 MPH. His victory was spoiled like a brat left on the grill for too long in Milwaukee when Kevin Gregg blew the save in the 9th. Before the Kevin Gregg bashing starts....its only game 4 people. There is a lot of baseball left. I believe Kevin Gregg will prosper for a couple of reasons. He has some great closer qualities that overcome him not having overpowering stuff like the K-Rods of the world. Three words; calm, cool, and collective. He doesn't seem to be bothered by the spot light of being the Cubs closer. When he's out on the mound he seems to be totally focused and has a proven track record. I love Marmol just like anyone else and I feel he should earn the job by how he pitches this season. Right now he might be in the top 3 list in the NL in set up men. I still trust Kevin Gregg, do you??

I liked Gregg as the closer to start the season because I think Marmol is much more capable of getting out of jams in the 7th and 8th. Gregg has been pretty bad so far after an impressive spring and it is making me think about how nice it would be to still have #34.
