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.

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

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

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.

He's on the verge of pitching a quality start. Only 2 ER in 5-1/3 innings.

Yes, Marquis is bad. His attitude stinks.
However, how about a little objectivity? He did NOT pitch poorly tonight.

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

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?
