Cubs manager Mike Quade assured reporters Thursday that Carlos Marmol is safe at closer. Marmol lost control of his entire arsenal of pitches in a horribly blown save Thursday night against the Marlins. "That was pretty bad," Quade said. "That was as bad as I've seen him. Still, you feel he has a chance to pull it together but not tonight." Marmol's leash remains long.
