    How? 1.60 WHIP 5.40 ERA That's flat out terrible. Woah there sparky, three errors and a horrible day in the field should also be factored into account on those stats. I bet Lou is going to have a field day with this kind of effort... YIKES! Hate to be in the locker room. You understand that errors don't contribute to ERA or WHIP, right? No they don't but without the errors, one could make a case that his ERA could have been lowered just by virtue of pitching deeper in the game. The errors extended the innings and raised his pitch count which contributed to Marquis only pitching 5 innings. That's what he's saying. Bah..he could have pitched longer and given up 5 more runs too. The what-if game is a dangerous game. Lets go on what he actually did. well, what he actually did was keep the team in the game. I agree! He did! He did keep his team in the game. So if the offense scored 7 runs and he allowed 10, did he do a good job of 'keeping his team in the game'? that's different and you know it

    right, the whole bonds thing is much ado about nothing, as it is very likely that ARod will break Bonds' record by the end of his career

    hmmmm, right around the same time Miller was last effective. Looks like a choice between a turd sandwich and a crap baguette

    oh, NOW i see

    Do you really think this for the long term betterment of theteam how long term are you talking? The Cubs are (supposedly) built to win now, so no, I don't want a struggling-yet-promising hitter in the lineup over an aged-yet-producing veteran if it costs an already struggling offense runs

    from what i gather, that's not exactly his cup of tea

    Probably true. The Cubs have just 4 HR this year and have given up 9. But they are also struggling with OBP. It's .313 overall, and sub .300 in each of the past 3 games. and against middling to bad pitchers. very, very frustrating

    So you're saying Guzman should play CF? :thumright:

    i have grown to hate the phrase "One Bad Inning"

    i never got into the parking lot at Miller Park, as there isn't enough parking for a sold out game. I had to park 1 1/2 miles away and walk. I got there mid 3rd inning

    you know who else had great stuff? Rick Ankiel /gas on the fire

    But that doesn't affect those stats. You can't give up 3 earned runs in the first and pretend to not share in the blame of a loss. Sure, but it wasn't a poor outing. No, it wasn't poor, it was terrible. cool, so anyone who doesn't pitch complete game shutouts is terrible? Just so I know so we can move forward That's a freaking stupid thing to write. Just stupid. There's a very big difference between 5 IP, 4 R, 3 ER and a 1.60 WHIP and a complete game shutout. Don't respond with that nonsense. well my exaggeration aside, what satisfies you from a guy like marquis? my guess is nothing, since you always find something bad to say about every situation No but as we're learning any pitcher having a bad game is subject to being chased with pitchforkes and torches until he turns arround and pitches a good game when he is lifted up and given the key to the city until he pitches a bad game and is chased with pitchforkes and torches......... unless it's Marquis (or Jacque) where they can run off 20 great games in a row and people will still say "yeah, but he still sucks, and will next time, you'll see"

    How? 1.60 WHIP 5.40 ERA That's flat out terrible. yes, but in the first inning, everyone acted like he was going to give up 30 runs by the 3rd. The truth is, he wasn't great, but the Cubs offense and defense were worse. This lineup should not have been shut down by Sampson. Marquis would have had to give up 0 or 1 runs for us to win today Nobody thought he was going to give up 30 runs by the 3rd. Marquis had a terrible outing. Izturis had a terrible game. The offense was terrible. I don't understand why people feel the need to focus on one thing and excuse everything else that happened. i'm not excusing it. i'm also not panicking over one start where he did better than most expected him to. He was part of the problem, not THE problem. Frankly, I don't care what he did last year. So far this year, he's been good once, decent but not great once. I'll hold my judgment for now

    okay, say Lou sticks Guzman out there instead of Miller, and in his first start, he goes 2 1/3, gives up 9 hits, 8 ER and walks 5. Then what?
