8/5 Mets(Glavine) @ Cubs(Marquis) 7:05 P.M. CT ESPN

[CyHawk_Cub]

Let's at least not get shutout guys...that would be pathetic..

[illiniguy]

marquis is not good by any stretch of the imagination, especially at his contract. the next couple of years, plus the last part of this one, he'll be a big fat albatross that no one will take unless we pay his entire salary. hopefully canning gets enough money together to make some moves.

 

 

Exactly. No one will be defending Marquis when he's paid $9 mil. to pitch mop-up out of the bullpen in '09.

We won't take him out of the rotation. Hell we won't bench Jones for 5 million.

[E.J.]

I hope Woody gets a 5 minute standing ovation.

[soccer10k]

He's given you the stats and you still can't admit that Marquis sucks. Last I heard a 4 plus ERA is not very good, let alone a 5 and 6 plus.

 

League average for NL starting pitchers is 4.51. League average for starting AL pitchers is 4.64. Only two NL teams have team starter ERA's under 4. There are also only 44 qualified starting pitchers in the majors who have an ERA under 4 - 23 in the NL and 21 in the AL. So by your estimation, a majority of the starting pitchers in the majors aren't good.

 

Sorry, I won't try to rationalize the pi** poor pitching of Marquis.

 

And I'm sorry that you grossly exaggerated to try to make a point about Marquis.

[Omar]

I love fake rallies.

[98navigator]

Rammy RBI double

[LetsPlayTwo]

At least the Brewers lost, so we won't lose any ground. Lee breaks up the shutout.

[E.J.]

Aram is pretty good.

[InconspicuousZ28]

:shock: :shock:

[TruffleShuffle]

hey that was about 20 feet from being a homer!

[cubfan1955]

I hope Woody gets a 5 minute standing ovation.

Of which ESPN will show none of it.

You can say piss.

jones is more valuable than marquis at this point.

[98navigator]

SHUT UP ESPN. THIS ISN'T THE GLAVINE SHOW!

Probably a 20 at 20 update during it.

[TruffleShuffle]

okay enough of john smoltz in a blender

[sherwood921]

Haha, what the heck is Smoltz saying? Why is he still here?

[Brian]

I don't think so, who takes Marquis spot in the rotation?

[E.J.]

Why do they still have Smoltz on the phone? The connection has been terrible the whole time. :lol:

Gallagher, hes ready right now

[Soul]

SHUT UP ESPN. THIS ISN'T THE GLAVINE SHOW!

 

Realistically, at 5-1 in the 6th inning and Glavine at 299 wins?

 

Yes it is.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Oh geez, is it 1998 again? How is that a strike?

[illiniguy]

Why doesn't Smoltz mute the Tv in the background? It would help out quite a bit.
