5/2 Cubs (Marquis) @ Pirates (Snell) - CSN/720

[CubmanPi]

Jason Marquis is a machine.

 

I never in a million years dreamed he would start off the season this hot (*crosses fingers*)

 

I was going to say the same thing....At some point someone has to give Hendry a little credit for his pitching pick ups this off season...not yet...but at some point.

If Marquis works out, I think the blind squirrel argument carries at least a little bit of merit, but if Lilly keeps producing, I think that is a find that ranks up there with Barrett.

Jack Wilson vs Cesar Izturis.

 

Pick one.

 

Laughably easy. Jack Wilson.

 

Even when figuring in that Wilson is owed $14 million through 2009?

 

At least the Cubs can cut Izturis.

 

That's what? Less than $5mil/yr? We're paying mid-range starters 7-10mil/yr as it is.

 

No, I meant $14 million over 2008 and 2009, though I certainly wasn't clear about it. He's making $20 million over 2007, 2008, and 2009.

 

Yeah, that's certainly worse. Get Pitt to pick up a couple mil each year :)

fans sound ready to run laroche out of town

I thought only the Cubs fans treated their players that way? Guess some people were wrong.

 

I'm from near Philly... I'm pretty sure people there wanted Lance Parrish dead by the end of his first year in town.

[Rob]

DLee hasn't had a double in like 3 PA now. He's due.

[Soul]

Oh boy, tailor-made opportunity for DLee.

Running Abreu out of town was smart.

 

And scapegoating Burrell is pretty intelligent, too.

I don't know, but if we see much more of that, his BA is sure to drop below .400. Bum.
