[ConstableRabbit]

Marquis is pitching a no hitter tonight.

Wouldn't that be poetic? Our worst pitcher (although he's really not that bad, but clearly the worst) pitches a no hitter for us in the middle of this magical season?

 

I'm not sure if it would be bigger than Estes' start against the Reds in 2003.

 

On the one hand, it'd be a better pitching performance. On the other hand, as bad as Marquis has been, he's a heck of a lot better than Estes.

Hopefully facing the nationals pitching 3 days in a row DLEE will get a much needed spark and heat up drastically.

If our 03 staff were facing this team, we'd absolutely get a no-hitter in a four game series against these guys.

It would be Clement, but he would get the loss.

[TruffleShuffle]

What the heck is wrong with Theriot why is he swinging at first pitches now, take some pitches Theriot its what made you the .320+ hitter you were earlier.

 

actually he's hitting .403 when putting the first pitch into play, so i'd say that swinging at the first pitch has made him a .300 hitter.

Lets be honest. It's Jason Marquis. If that fact alone doesn't jinx him throwing a no hitter, nothing will. 8-)

Sounds about right.

Where is Matt Clement these days? I know he had a hot streak with the Red Sox in 05.

Whats the deal with Clement anyway? Fadetobolivia comes to mind?

I feel that occasionally the world needs a reminder that there are time when the first pitch is a very hittable pitch, but the batter just doesn't get good contact.

I stand corrected haha

 

But I don't know whenever I watch the games which is pry less than most of you because I only get WGN. It always seems his good days are when he is taking 2 to 3 pitches at least and poking them into RF for singles.

[witty alias]

LOL, this is their number three hitter?

 

I don't know if you should be "loling" any team's #3 hitter after the last couple of months.

 

It's okay to lol them now.

He just got released by somebody if I"m not mistaken possibly the Cardinals? Yes at least on wikipedia it says he was released by the Cardinals on August 2nd.

Last I heard, the Cardinals tried to rehab him this year, but I think they cut ties with him.

No-hitter.

If even LaRussa and Duncan cant save him, hes done for.

Derrek Lee's OPS has been taken off life support but is still in critical condition after that home run.
