Me: [Erstwhile Cubs closer Carlos] Marmol. He’s bad. He’s explosively bad, like a bad case of diarrhea.
Thom: Yeah?
Me: Yeah. He’s the only pitcher who has recently been likened to diarrhea. ‘Cause when he’s on the mound, the other team gets the runs.
Thom: Aw, shit.
Me: Exactly.
Ah poor Carlos…must feel like he’s in the crosshairs when there’s a breeze blowing out. Maybe he’ll get a grip. Anyway, that’s a funny conversation.
