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

[JonnyRed]

say we still have the lead, and Marquis can't go the 9th. Do we bring Dempster back out or someone else?

 

Wuertz

This has to be the only time in History that we signed a former Cardinal that is actually playing better with us.

 

Mordecai Brown didn't do too badly for us after starting his career with the Cards.

Jason Marquis doesn't know, and Jason Marquis doesn't care.

Gary Gaetti showed such promise at first too...

 

The Rat! One of the greatest nicknames ever!

If I were a manager, I would bat Jack Wilson second and Jason Bay fifth. Edited May 2, 2007 by cheapseats

I thought Mickey Morandini was the rat. He looked like one to me anyway.

Jack Wilson could be another candidate for "The Rat"

[UMFan83]

It's actually kinda refreshing to have some starters in the rotation that don't have such high expectations and can pitch 8-9 innings once in awhile because their PCs arent in the 90s by the 4th inning

Jack Wilson K's swinging

[seanimal]

Wow, Marquis.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

105 pitches... ehhh, undecided here.

[Brian]

ok Demp had to get 4 outs, Yeah I'm definitely keeping him out of here, especially with a 3 run lead.

[BeerHere]

Fantastic outing my Marquis

Yeah - his HR in the 1998 playoff vs the Giants was one of the few truly memorable moments in Cub history.

 

Little known fact: Gaetti hit a home run in his first ML at bat. He was sporting quite the pornstache back then too:

PC is 101? Send him out and let him finish it or let Wuertz take care of it? I put in Wuertz simply for the fact that Marquis has a history of being crap in the 2nd half. Less wear and tear now may help out later.

I'd let him keep going. He's not some young buck who hasn't been exposed to many major league innings. He's expendable in the long run. I'd see if he can finish the 9th pretty quickly, but maybe get somebody warm just in case.
