I agree. Not many sport heros wear glasses and it shoes he is bold and not afraid to be different. Cut him some slack.
(but does anyone think he should wear goggles? Goggles make a man look way more sophisticated, and besides goggles always look better than glasses)
Does anyone agree with me? please answer…

I think he looks cute in the glasses. They make him look much better and more focused.

I echo Golan’s points…if Gregg is effective then the Cubs benefit from giving him an assigned role. Its a strong argument contingent on Gregg being pitching like he did the past 2 seasons. But if he continues to suck, then all of the situational advantages described above are nullified and he becomes the Cubs version of Mike Macdougal

I think choosing Gregg as the closer was the wise move. 1) More often then not, the setup pitcher is called in higher pressure situations with runners already on base then a closer who typically starts off the last inning with a clean slate of zero runners on base. 2) Marmol can be brought in, in the 7th or 8th inning, and can last more then 3 outs. Typically, you use your closer almost exclusively in the 9th inning only. 3) Reccently Lou realized the degree that Gregg is still rehabbing from reconstructive knee-surgery. This means that Gregg can pretty much only pitch in one inning, because once he begins warming up, the minute he stops pitching (like at the end of an inning), his knee tightens up. Therefore, the optimal position to place Gregg is in the closer role where he knows he’s going to play and can warm-up appropriately.
