I'm interested in seeing if Kerry Wood will end up closing.

Don't they need him to? With Ryan "Joe Namath" Dempster in the rotation I think they do.

The job's up for grabs. It's either Wood, Howry, or Marmol.

My guess is it'll be Wood until he's lost for the year due to injury (i.e. Week 2). Howry will be next, but will blow four saves in one week, including game-winning homers to Prince Fielder on consecutive nights.

Enter Marmol, who'll save 35 the rest of the way. I love this guy - he's filthy, but the Cubs won't give him the job until they have to.

GG Dempster. Way to mojo your team already.

marmol's gonna be tied up with the democratic nomination though

If I ever invent a time machine, I am going to go back to Chicago in November 1908 and tell everyone that a black man will be President of the United States before the Cubs win another championship.

You know you may have just guarenteed a Cubs victory this November?
