if Marquis can settle down, I think we will get to this guy the second time through
I’d feel better if Marquis was getting ahead in the count. That seems to be when he does his best work!
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
Please get us out of this, Marquis

Games vs. the Pirates always go like today's game...
Which is fine, because I’m positive the offense will put up more than 2 runs. And as crazy as it sounds, I think Marquis is going to hold the line at 2, (at least until he is out of the game).

"That guy is a gamer." said Ron Santo of Reed Johnson on 07-25-08
are they getting to this pitcher at all?
Can’t see game, just wondering if the bats look sluggish from Milwaukee hangover or if this guy has good stuff working. I remember the old days when it seemed that every opposing pitcher making his season debut would dominate us.
Starting to get to him
It’ll be ugly if the Cubs get a third look at him. We should break through here soon.

Not sluggish.
Karstens is ok. They just haven’t got to him yet. They will. First 1-2-3 inning for Marquis. Good job Jason.

This guy looks competent. When he keeps his pitches down, he looks like a real MLB pitcher.
Of course, I think he is hittable.

Sounds like we are putting the ball in play a lot but not getting hits. Also, that he is a little wild.

len and bob comment
they were talking about nate mcclouth and mentioned how impressive it was that he didn’t have a single error this year considering how “spacious” the center field is in pittsburgh. is that an accurate assumption that a more “spacious” outfield would result in more errors?

Sure it would.
Deep gaps, lots of chances for a ball to be played wrong; under the glove, etc.

To many of you this Marquis start is maddening but to Piniella & Co it was a Q-start
6 IP, 3 runs allowed, Cubs still have a chance to come back with an offense that should score 5 runs a game.
Piniella: "This is a tougher job than I thought it would be, I'm going to be honest with you."
Yeah, you're right - just feels crappy because we can't put one across the plate...
Wait a minute... who am I here?
That's because to many of you, the Cubs should win 11-0 in every game...
...it just ain’t so…
