Overflow Thread 1: Cubs vs. Orioles, Thursday 6/26, 1:20 CT

I have a guy going with us to 7/9 and 7/10 games. We’ve never been to wrigley so not sure how everything works. Cubs.com is showing sold out, but he found Standing Room Only tickets for 60 a piece from a broker. Do you think he should wait and try to find a scalper or go ahead and buy Tickets online?
Thanks in advance for the help!

wait

buy good seats the day before or when player tix are released

Going to a scalper is always a crapshoot

sometimes you get lucky but not usually-personally I’d get the standing room-once you’re in chances are you’ll be able to snag a seat at some point

Honestly

wait until game day SRO are only $15. You will able to get these at least. Box office opens at 8. They release players and press tickets, tickets reserved for players and the press, and he might be able to get a seat. $60 for SRO is pretty crazy.

I live right next door and do wait until gameday all the time.

The season is long. And frankly, they’re well overdue for a few more home losses. This shouldn’t be a surprise.

He's not a head case.

There is nothing wrong with Jason Marquis mentally. He’s just a terrible pitcher. There’s no mystery to it, no character defect. He just doesn’t pitch well.

by cwyers on Jun 26, 2008 2:58 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Marquis is a terrible pitcher.

What makes him a terrible pitcher is that he’s a head case. He doesn’t know what pitches to throw in what counts, and not even the catcher can get him to trust his stuff. He has no physical problems, his mechanics are sound. He just sucks, because he is a head case.

Jimmyeatworld

by Jimmyeatworld on Jun 26, 2008 3:00 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Sigh.

The problem is that he can’t locate his stuff and he can’t keep his sinker consistently down. I’d rather stab myself in the eye than watch him pitch, but that’s no reason to insult his mental makeup.

Actually

I’m sorry I used that term head case further up the read, because it’s obnoxious. But Marquis did, in fact, consult some sort of sports psychologist over the off season because of what he (and the team management?) perceived as non-physical issues.

Well of course they'll try just about anything...

They think it's not lack of talent

because he’s pitched well for parts of seasons and parts of games before. But it does seem like his occasional successes are more luck than talent.

Jason Marquis will put together a good stretch every so often...

...largely on the backs of his defense. He gives up way too many home runs, can’t strike batters out, and walks batters way too often. But every once in a while his defense will bail him out and someone will mistake that for something Jason Marquis did.

I suggested he had actually been hit hard, just right at the defense. The general response was “thats what he’s supposed to do”, which I agree with to an extent (pitch to contact w/ sinker), however it still doesn’t mean Marquis did anything good, or that his performance despite the stats showed he is a mediocre pitcher

I'm not insulting his mental makup.

I’m talking about a pitcher who has good stuff, sound mechanics, and a history of underachieving because he can’t seem to get it together mentally. Sure, referring to him as a head-case is obnoxious, but I’m not saying it to his face as an insult. I’m simply explaining why he is not a good pitcher. JohnM. cites exactly what I am talking about.
