Looper, second coming of the Alfonseca heart-attack, would be a good set-up man. Recently, he whined that coming in the eighth inning made it very difficult mentally for him to Close in the ninth inning. Penny, knowing our desperate bull-pen situation, announced his arm couldn't take bull-pen duties. Maybe these egocentric whimps need to talk with Smoltz. There are times you need to "take one for the team." Sometimes, it works out good for you, too.

Never heard that quote on Looper, but I agree his stuff is better suited to setup a closer. He has done great job so far and you cnt expect him to pitch a perfect 9th everytime. Penny has an attitude problem like all of us have suspected the entire time...Jack just proved these thoughts with his latest comments.

i never saw a quote weird Loop didnt want to come in the 8th inning.... and as Shamrock said, he wont be perfect every time...... even though he stunk yesterday, he got the Cubs 2 best hitters with the gameo n the line(Alou and Sosa).... that shows me something

yeah i saw that quote, it was in the papers a few days ago.

Thank you for confirmation. Think Looper said it first with Minirvini (local Fox News pre-game or Boog on radio pre-game.) Guess RAMP doesn't know everything.

Well then I guess Loop wont be too hurt to moving to setup man once we acquire a power closer.

actually Ramp does know everything
