yea but he has a lot of movement. but the movement doesnt matter if its not fooling the batters. most pitches start in the zome and end out of the zone. oh well

How did Neifi Perez, Kevin Orie, and Jeremi Gonzalez get Rookie of the League votes in 1997?

are we not allowed to talk about the quality of announcing for cubs games? is that not part of the viewing experience when not at the ballpark? give me a break. if joe buck and tim mccarver (or the jon miller/joe morgan tandum) were announcing, everyone would be making fun of their inability to call a legitimate game.

Are any of these comments necessary?

I gotta agree. Chip is bad. Not the worst, but bad.

I see.

I was only kidding, anyway. Pat the Bat is a pretty entertaining player to watch, at least at the plate.

Is there an ETA to get it corrected?

I'd like Marquis

to qualify for the chance to win it...

It worked out well, but Marquis just walked a decent hitter with four balls

Looked like it could easily turn into a 3-inherited runners situation

I'm glad Lou is our manager and not you, since it turned out to be just fine.

It could have not turned out well,

But I'm glad I'm not the manager, too.

ok

not a great start by marquis but we're ahead. need some insurance though.

It is a "quality start,"though...

Miscounted my innings there.

Still, compared to what Hill and Lilly have given us for the past two games, not a bad job by Jason today. Let's call it "effectively mediocre." Sound good?

any start

Marquis leaves the game with the lead in is a quality start

Without question

Z, Demp, Marquis, Lieber, Hart/Marshall... That should be the new 5

There's a reason

Rotations aren't switched after 10 games.

Without question...

Marquis is better... the proposed rotation is questionable.

Lou

I think he often does this because he is big about player confidence.

Marquis's done

They showed him gather up all his things and head to the clubhouse on the Phillies feed.
