look at the time stamps...

I opened the thread at 7:32 CT and just sat there with an empty comment box for 5 minutes… couldn’t think of anything to say. Was just about to do the “first” out of sheer boredom and desperation when inspiration hit me like a line drive up the middle off my leg.

sorry

see the third single in the inning he just gave up to make us 2 down instead of 1 down.

Jason Marquis sucks.

So he's supposed to pitch a shutout every night?

I don’t like him either, but scoring 1 run doesn’t do it.

Until the 3 straight hits in the 6th, he was having a very good game

you cannot call

giving up a two run home-run a good game. Not when you’re Jason Marquis, anyway.

Yeah, I’m watching.

Singlehandedly! Because he K’d with the bases loaded . . . because he’s stranded runners all over the place.

Maybe I’m NOT watching the game you’re watching. I’m watching the Cubs and Pirates on May 24, 2008—you?

I didn't say that.

But Jason Marquis can not keep it together. That 2-run HR was the start. Three singles in this inning was the continuation. And it’s not over yet. He does not maintain control of the game the way Z or Lilly or Dempster do.

Hoo boy

If that was Zambrano, you’d be saying it was a great effort.

Yes, Marquis is bad. His attitude stinks.

However, how about a little objectivity? He did NOT pitch poorly tonight.

by Shanghai Badger on May 24, 2008 7:54 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

but it's NOT

Zambrano, and that’s part of the problem. It’s Marquis. I’m being objective. He sucks, and I want him off the team.

screw objective.

I’m no longer giving Marquis the benefit of the doubt.

He’s becoming a clubhouse cancer.

Do you see this game? We’re LOSING TO THE PIRATES!

Dump Marquis. DFA him. Stick him in the bullpen forever.. I don’t care. I don’t want him pitching for this team anymore.

Did anyone happen to notice...

back in the top of the 4th inning, 2 outs, after Kosuke had grounded out, he came back into the dugout and the WGN camera cuts to him saying something to D Lee. D Lee looks at him and in a harsh and dismissive way brushes him off and turns as if he doesn’t want to be bothered by a stupid question. I wish I knew what it was all about because Lee looked really irritated by Dome. Maybe it was a language barrier thing. Anyone else notice it?

by epcub on May 24, 2008 8:12 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I didn't think he looked irritated

I thought he looked a little confused, and then he figured out what Dome was talking about, and said “oh, no, that’s not it” or something like that…
