Wait?

I thought you said he completes me. Now are you going to use my words against me?

To give Eyre time to warm up.

but slapped Marquis' butt

He should have kicked his butt out of the playing field.

by zevkalman on May 13, 2008 8:38 PM CDT up 0 recs

Wow

A successful sacrifice bunt… taking notes?

if marquis gets another start

I hope he gets absolutely crushed

by bheidge on May 13, 2008 8:39 PM CDT 0 recs

Hopefully thats his last start in a cub uniform

This would be a horrible game for us to lose

by CubsBall2202 on May 13, 2008 8:39 PM CDT 0 recs

Absolutely.

by zevkalman on May 13, 2008 8:39 PM CDT up 0 recs

after winning 4 of 4?

How is it “horrible”? Never good to lose, but…

by Bildo1805 on May 13, 2008 8:40 PM CDT up 0 recs

It would be a tough loss seeing how we came out quickly with a 3-0 lead

and marquis gives it right back to the worst offensive team in the majors

by CubsBall2202 on May 13, 2008 8:40 PM CDT up 0 recs

It's our 5th starter...

I mean, giving up 4 is bad, especially in the way we did…but did we really think Marquis wouldn’t give up about 4 runs in 5 innings?

"This is the kind of thing … that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose." Marty Brennaman

by Bildo1805 on May 13, 2008 8:41 PM CDT up 0 recs

No, we thought he would, just about.

4/5*9 is is a 7.20 ERA, a bit high for him but not outside of his reach. We just think the Cubs have five pitchers who are better than him, which makes that whole “he’s the fifith starter” business a distraction from the actual facts at hand.

I has a blog.

by cwyers on May 13, 2008 8:44 PM CDT up 0 recs

Oh, I'm not saying he should be our 5th starter either.

DFA him all the way to Ballpark of Arlington Hell.

Just saying, it’s not a horrible game to lose. Tough one.

Whatever though, really not all that important. Conversation over?

We were ahead 3-0, facing Estes, and facing a pathetic line up. Marquis pitched badly.

by zevkalman on May 13, 2008 8:42 PM CDT up 0 recs

Not arguing Marquis pitched badly.

Arguing how this is a “horrible game to lose”

I should have said it would be a "tough" one to lose

To be fair, it's hard to draw a walk with all those meatballs being thrown at you.

yeah

was emailing my brother about that this morning. “don’t worry, ” he said, “we’re good against lefties this year!”

Boston had the bases loaded with nobody out...

and Man-Ram up to bat. They didn’t score a run. I’m just saying it could be worse. We could have our hopes rely on someone with a nickname Man-Ram. Altho I hear Jimmy Edmonds loves it lol jk
