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?

Lee, ARam, and Dome were a combined 0-12, but the Cubs still managed to score 6 runs, so yeah, I’d probably hang this one on Marmol.
I double-checked the boxscore ‘cause I was so hoping to see Marquis with a pinch running appearance, though… then I could’ve blamed him. ;-) But to no avail…

I can see it now...
Game 7 NLCS, Wrigley Field, Cubs up by one, top 9th, 2 outs, bases loaded, In comes Wood and he nails the first batter, tie game, then gives up a moonshot. Fans storm Wrigley stadium and just tear everything down and force the team to move away.
I am pessimistic right now.

Thats all you can ask for
but that doesnt mean he had good stuff. He was lucky to get out with only 3 runs given up

Ayup.
You can pitch poorly and not give up a lot of runs, and pitch well and get rocked. All depends on what the defense behind you is doing. Marquis didn’t pitch especially well tonight, and was lucky that his infield got three double plays in support of him.

Tonight's Goats
Kerry Wood – yes, you have to bear down every single game out there. Get your head out of your butt and stop plunking the freakin’ first hitter in the 9th. If you can’t then tell the manager that Marmol should be closing instead.
Lou/Blanco – no way he should have been bunting in the 13th, not with the infield playing in. You need to hit away and drive a hard ground ball with the corners coming in like that.
Theriot – someone please tell our esteemed manager that second basemen need to play second base. Get Cedeno in at SS.
