Jason Scott Marquis (0-6) ERA = 11.39, WHIP = 2.25

 

Holy Crap!!!!! Really?

 

It's true. He's only had 21 1/3 innings on the year though because of the elbow surgery and the injury has probably helped cause some of those horrific numbers.

This game is at 6:05 not 7:05 by the way

Dear Cubs,

 

Please stop screwing up your outside chance at the #1 overall draft pick next June.

[Laura]

someone needs to edit Quade into the streetsweeper

[SouthSideRyan]

Somebody needs to trade for Jason Marquis before the year is over. The streak mustn't end!

[SouthSideRyan]

Soto 8th.

[Prizefight]

Soto 8th.

 

 

Perfect spot for the guy with the .913 OPS imo

And god forbid Colvin would start 2 nights in a row.

Colvin started both of the first two games of the series. This is Fukudome's first start in 4 days. And Byrd had an off day last night and Soriano had one on Saturday.

Soto 8th.

If Geo Soto is your 8th hitter. Odds are you have one hell of a lineup or you're the dumbest organization in sports.

[J.R.]

'Queef LOL

[BCVM22]

Dempster cruising through 7 innings on 79 pitches... and Quade takes him out so Colvin can pinch-hit.

 

Uggggh.

[JonJayCutler]

Yeah that's a horrible move by Quade. Not to mention Dempster has one of the four hits to this point. Colvin better score.

[UMFan83]

I [expletive] love Starlin Castro. I just knew he was gonna get the job done and he did.

[Careless]

Castro has been from-my-dreams-good, if I had good dreams about the Cubs.

 

But I don't. Ever.

[J.R.]

BOOM

[XZero771679666304]

Soriano destroyed that ball.

[Sammy Sofa]

Awesome series.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Sadly,in the case of the Cubs, its the later.
