observation
marquis starts with the ball behind his back then moves it into his glove in front of him. he then changes grips while bringing the glove down into his set position. watch closely and tell me what difference there is between his changeup,fastball, and sinker!! watch closely!!

D-Lee hits a lot of fly balls to right field. You think he is afraid
to pull the ball with a runner on first or are they just pitching him away all of the time?

So our options are:
1) Derrek Lee is afraid of hitting baseballs.
2) Other teams have video of hitters and know when there are baserunners on.
Hrm. Tough choice.

I recognize that JM is the #5 starter,
but boy, you have to think that Marshall gives you a better chance to regularly win the #5 game as a starter than Marquis. Is it a contract or experience thing? I have a hard time believing that Lou honestly thinks Marquis is a better pitcher than Marshall.

I think Lou has wanted rid of Marquis for a while.
And, FWIW, Marquis is headed to the bullpen after this start – Cubs are going with a 4-man rotation due to the number of off days ahead.

Eyre hasn't been released yet.
The Cubs have seven days to trade him before they have to either release him or send him to the minors. Eyre can refuse an optional assignment.
