Nice outing, dick.
If JD's not on the board right now I know nobody else is going to step up and give Jock credit for taking out Hudson if I don't. Whether intentional or not, that was well-played. Umpires can't do shit to protect your bald headed ass from that, fucknuts. Ouch. Better get some ice on that, stat.
I'm too drunk and tired to look for the ODC/OAC thread. Can someone dig it up please? Jesus H. Christ.
This home plate umpire has no idea what's going on.
[/BC]
This Gallagher 2 guy isn't much fung to watch. I'll pass on him for my fantasy squad just yet.
The Marquis d' Suck is back. 1 and 2/3 innings after getting a spotted a 4 run lead.
So much for Gallagher keeping the game close.
Marquis is who we thought he was, and he got his ass crowned.
The only good thing about tonight is the Tards lost again. And the Brewers were winning 3-0 going into the bottom of the ninth and
- F. Cordero relieved D. Turnbow
- F. Catalanotto struck out swinging
- I. Kinsler grounded out to pitcher
- B. Wilkerson singled to left
- B. Wilkerson to second on fielder's indifference
- R. Vazquez walked
- G. Laird singled to left center, B. Wilkerson scored, R. Vazquez to third
- K. Lofton singled to first, R. Vazquez scored, G. Laird to second
- M. Byrd singled to center, G. Laird scored, K. Lofton to second
- M. Young singled to right, K. Lofton scored, M. Byrd to second
4 runs, 5 hits, 0 errors
Milwaukee 3, Texas 4
Fuck Milwaukee. The whole thing.
The disappointing thing is Marquis struggled in his last start, but he went 5 and 1/3 only gave up 2 runs. Got a couple of double plays to get himself out of trouble. Last night he was just god awful.
I'm not saying the Cubs are a playoff team, but they have had a number of chances to not only be competitive this year, but be in first place considering the lack of any really good teams in the division. Just like the Tards were the best of the shitty last year.
Hey, the Tards may have lost, but I told you Marquis sucks donkey balls. You guys laughed it off and said Dave Duncan blah blah blah. Enjoy 2 and half more years of that douchetard.

Umm, no one on this site did anything of the kind. Perhaps you missed the hand wringing of his signing and the continued loathing of him and the moniker Marquis de Suc. The bottom line is you can't have 5 number 1's but if you can get a guy like Marquis that will most of the time give you 5 or 6 innings at the end of the rotation, even if he does get shelled often, he can stilll serve a purpose. The Cubs made the postseason with Shawn F@&%$in Estes at the back of the rotation. That in mind I would put forth Marquis is an upgrade from that loser.

Yeah, I don't remember anyone saying anything like that, either. And Marquis has ALREADY given the Cubs 5 times as many good starts as I thought he would. In three years.
Wait, I thought Larry fixed him this offseason and that led to his ridiculous contract?

Right. Except his ERA is still a full run lower than any starter on the Cardinals.

You guys should really just focus on enjoying Todd Wellemeyer. IN YOUR STARTING ROTATION.
My apologies for that original post. I was still wasted from the night before and was just plain stupid. You guys pretty much said he sucked. I have no idea what went through my brain. Other than booze. Ugh. Apparently, I don't handle drinking whiskey until 4am like I used to.
And Marquis may have an ERA a full point lower than any starter on the Cards and we may have Wellemeyer in the starting rotation but somehow we aren't imploding. Man, if we don't have the shittiest starting rotation in any level of baseball, I'd be surprised. So I got no argument.
Anyway, you guys said Marqius sucks and he does. My bad. But I still reserve the right to remind you how bad he sucks on occasion.

You can't play the Reds, Pirates and Royals forever you toothless fuck. Soon, your Deadbirds and their 1-5 record vs. the NLE will take on the Phillies and Mets and we'll check back in with you and see how that whole not imploding thing is going.

Fantastic work there.
It's reassuring to know that Marquis doesn't really start to suck until after the All Star Break. The batting practice he's been throwing to the Pirates tonight is a preview of what to expect from him in the second half of the season.
We should defenester people/things more often around here.
I have to say that I really like Jeff Garlin. Why? Because he is as die-hard as I am. On the other hand, his father is an old-fart!

IP H R ER BB SO HR ERA
4.0 8 6 6 3 2 1 4.03
It's a good thing Wendy RodrÃguez was a run suckier than the Marquis.
So true. But if yesterday's game means that opponents can't call up every piece of shit AAAA lefty on the 40-man to shut down the Cubs' lineup for 6+ than color me a shade gheyer for this group of men than I was at at 2:20 ET yesterday.

Even though Wendy did shut out the Mets his last time out, your point is noted. And gheyed.
Marquis needs to go away. Now.
He sucks. Â I'm ready to bail on him for the rest of the year...is there anyone in the minors that we can call up to take some starts? Â Can we "platoon" him with a pitcher who is strong in the second half of the season? Â Can we trade him to Miluwakee to "replace" ben sheets?
Nice pants-shitting. Â Walked Looper when he was giving up an out, walked Lassie after 1-2, hit Pujuols (so it wasn't ALL bad). Â then a granny to Baby Huey (no relation, assholes).
When did Matt Clement come back?
F[size=0pt] [/size] UCK![/b]
This is what you get with de Suck; one good outing, then one goddawful outing. I'm not ready to poke my eyes out just yet, he's a 50-50 guy just as-expected. Fine for a #5 pitcher.
BTW, the guy that needs to go is Serial Killer. Geezus, he has NOTHING in the tank. Wow.
DLEE!
(Marquis' June ERA was 5.02. His July ERA was 5.79 but I would have to think thats on the up-and-up.)
Marquis is the opposite of good.
On the bright side, the Reds VORPed the Brewers, so at least the Cubs don't lose any ground.
Too many here are getting all "4-letter" on us here. Since when is winning 2/3 in the New Urinal Cake a bad thing? Me satisfied.
I'm not watching the game, but doing crap in the kitchen where I'm listening to the new guy and Ronnie (Pat must be having the mother of all steamers...new guy sounds like he's doing the whole broadcast). Â I noticed that Bengie Molina stole third. Â According to Santo, Cedeno had NO IDEA what he was doing, as he came in for the SAC but didn't keep an eye on Molina so he could backtrack to the bag.
I could just picture it. Â His dumbfounded look. Â According to Santo, it seemed that he didn't even know what he did wrong, or that he did anything wrong at all.
Today's Dose...very timely. Â I gotta imagine Lou's "Cedeno Countdown" is going 7...6...5...4...
Petrick is doing a great Marquis impersonation.

Late Breaking News:
Pat Hughes' condition, as per Ron Santo:Â "Must have ate something"
You think, Ron?
I went to a night game there last year when the Cardinals were playing the Royals... The gametime temperature was about 85 and the wind was out of the west at about 10 MPH, but the balls were FLYING out to right center. I think two homers went out that direction that night and there were a few flyballs that I thought would be moderate depth that ended up going warning depth distance. I think the reason for it is that there is a hole in the stadium from the first level up to the upper deck on the third base side and it probably tunnels the wind out in that direction when the wind is out of the west.
So, tonight, Soriano hits a ball very well (Sounded the best of any hit ball tonight anyway IMO) but it gets caught as it went to left center. While Pujols and Duncan can hit under their respective home run pitches and still get them out of the park because they hit the balls to right center. Lee also hit it that way, his was a little more of a line drive but it was probably wind-assisted as well.
I can't get too upset about Marquis. He's just a guy. Not good. Not horrible. He's there because Z can't pitch everyday. You can't get too excited about Z or too upset with the 5th guy. The key is the three lefties. Everybody hates their 5th starter.

You know there's a problem with your shortstop when he's out-awared by Ron Santo.
I have to admit to having this hope delusion that not only will Kerry Wood come back healthy, but he'll be so strong when he comes back that by mid-August he replaces Marquis in the rotation.

I just hope it doesn't come down to the last few days and Marquis goes to the mound in a game that the Cubs absolutely must win. There's a reason Atlanta let him go and there's a reason the Cardinals didn't even have him on the postseason roster last year.
As far as the playoff race goes, looks like every team that is either near the Cubs or the Cubs are chasing lost today/tonight. I'm sure the Cubs could find many excruciating ways to not make the playoffs, but the one thing that would absolutely piss me off would be if the Cubs lost the Wild Card by one game to the Braves. Not only because I just hate the Braves (Other than the Cardinals, White Sox and Yankees I hate them the most) but that M-Fer of an umpire that ejected Lilly on the freaking third pitch of the game or whatever it was against the Braves would have essentially cost the Cubs a chance at the playoffs.

Recent Cubs winning teams, 5-hole comparisons--
(04): Jason Marquis or Glen-done? Rusch's career year, I take G-Unit.
(03): Jason Marquis or Shawn F. Estes? I'll take de Suck.
(01): Jason Marquis or Kevin Tapani? OK, I'll take Tap.
(98): Jason Marquis or Mark Clark/J(G)eremi Gonzalez? I'll take de Suck.
(93): Jason Marquis or Frank F. Castillo? Are you kidding? I'll take de Suck.
(89): Jason Marquis or Paul Kilgus? I'll take de Suck.
(84): Jason Marquis or Dick Ruthven? I'll take de Suck.
de Suck ranks 3/7 for the Cubs #5 starters. Livable situation.

Who else was available? I really don't remember.

You're right. They way over paid. I just can't get upset about a few million here or there when the team has the money to spend. This isn't like the NBA where a bad contract can hamper what a team is able to do. The only way the Marquis contract is a problem is if the new owner lets it be.

Sure it is. Look at the Jacque contract. We overpaid for him, and now we can't even get rid of him because no one else wants to pay that contract (no one even wants to pay half of that contract). So we're stuck with him. And that's just a minor example. Bigger mistakes, like the Chan Ho park deal, have put teams in binds for years.
And if you want to see how a bad deal can hamper a team up close, wait until we're paying Soriano $18 million in 2014.

But we could get rid of Jock if we wanted to eat all of his contract. That is an option. If someone like Cuban buys the team (which won't happen) it wouldn't be an issue.

I have to admit to having this hope delusion that not only will Kerry Wood come back healthy, but he'll be so strong when he comes back that by mid-August he replaces Marquis in the rotation.
You're with me, leather Taylor. I've been having the same fantasy. I feel like a four-letter guy, only my fantasy doesn't end with Adam Dunn and Kent Mercker going all bukkake on me.
Count me in on the chimeric Japanese splash fest where Wood joins the rotation. Never had an avatar before, but I somehow feel the need to create a collage of Ronce, Monk, Frodo, and Leon Joe. Hell Yeah!!!

Monk the fictional TV detective. Bauer is so two years ago, now that he let a nuke blow up LA (.. oh, and since the show has decided that the shark tank over there is just itching to be jumped. I fully expect Henry Winkler to be the Chief of Staff this season).
Meanwhile, Monk the detective is hanging with Snoop. And, he always gets his man.
Art Monk played football pretty well, so he would be an apple amongst my oranges.

Bad news, good news. Bad news: he sucks ass and the Cubs are down 2-0 quickly. Good news: I figure this is his last start for a while. Lou has seen enough.
Can someone please tell Lilly that Marquis is playing around with his girl?
Man, he just looks bad on the mound. Who do they even have that can replace his spot in the rotation right now and be semi effective?

Well Lou doesn't seem to want Marshall, I'd guess Hill is still a bit away from coming back, and Lieber is better out of the pen.
Marquis picked up the W, simply by virtue of the fact that he pitched against Mitch Hill.
So the Cubs went 7-1 on the homestand in games started by major league pitchers and 1-1 in games started by Jason Marquis. At least he won't get to pitch against Houston.
QuoteCubs starter Jason Marquis (2-3) won for the first time since April 19, allowing two earned runs on four hits in six innings.
One win every month. Too bad the Cubs don't play the Pirates again until August. It's the only team he can beat. But the Cubs maybe stuck with Marquis for a while as Dick Hill's trip to Iowa isn't going that well.
QuoteThe Cubs lefty, who was sent down to Iowa on May 3 to get his house in order, was pulled out of Friday night's game with back stiffness after allowing 3 walks and a 2-run single in the third inning.
"The extent of it I don't know yet," said Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild. "I don't think they do either until later (on). It's not anything. It just cropped up last night."
Has the back bothered Hill before?
"Don't know. He didn't have it last year, he didn't have it earlier in the year," manager Lou Piniella said. "I don't know what the problem is. Let's not make it too serious; it might not be serious at all."
Hill is 1-2 with a 3.38 ERA at Iowa. He has allowed a dozen hits in 13 innings, striking out 15 while walking eight.

Actually it means I'm tired of watching Marquis suck at a high rate of speed. I'd rather watch somebody else suck for awhile.
Marquiss won today because the wind was howling in. It kept definitely a few balls out of the bleachers. On a day where that doesn't happen, he gets shelled. Just be thankful the Pirates took the Dusty approach and with the wind blowing in, swung from their asses and JJP'd (Jock Jones Pose, remember that). The Pirates looked like Dusty's Cubs. Sucks for them.

The only two shitty outings by a starter since the break are both of his starts.
Bounce his ass and see if you can get a servicable LH bat in return.
That contract is the worst of Hendry's tenure. Marquis has less than no trade value. If he'd put together 3 or 4 decent starts going into the deadline he'd have maybe a little. But alas...
Yesterday would have been a 15-12 game if you had the 2000 Cubs staff. Marquis didn't have great stuff, but he lasted 6 innings. He's strung together some decent starts. He might have some value yet. The next couple days could be, um, interesting.

The thing that was frustrating about this whole series is that the pitching staff had Chlamydia er Hermida or whatever you'd want to call that rare form of STD the first few games...and then it was one hitter that did virtually all the damage to Marquis (with the help of BB's and a HBP).
Sure, hitters get in grooves, but it also seems to reflect a total lack of preparation/clue to get someone out when you're handling 7 guys to only get smoked by the 8th. Repeatedly.
And with an erratic offense, any chance we can pin some of that on poor advance scouting? Seems to me that might explain a lot, from both sides of the ball.

Again, not fair. Marquis may be a joke compared to the Cubs' other 4 starters, but he gives up 3 runs in 6 IP, there's nothing wrong with that for a #5 starting pitcher. Problem of course is that once again, for the umpteenth time the last five years, an absolute nobody pitcher faces the Cubs and they can't hit squat off of him. Future Cy Young winner Jeff Karstens, um, yeah.

Wow, Marquis can't even get the ubiquitous Jason Michaels and Andy LaRoche out...and another Marquis HBP scores. And Jack Wilson ropes an RBI single too.
Seriously, Marquis' career as a Cub needs to be euthanized after this outing.
Again, not fair. Marquis may be a joke compared to the Cubs' other 4 starters, but he gives up 3 runs in 6 IP, there's nothing wrong with that for a #5 starting pitcher.
I was anticipating it getting uglier. He actually got out of a few jams. And he would turn in a performance good enough to win, when we don't score. Asshole.
I'm still on board with axing this guy.

Well of course he did. He always keeps us in games. However, he never keeps a lead in games. We could have scored 5 in the 5th, and Marquis would have proceeded to give up 3 more runs to blow the lead.
So how much longer before they DFA this assbag? Four straight losses, an ERA of 6 since the break, and a history of second half shitfests? They can't possibly be willing to give this douche 8-10 more starts, can they?
Christ on a bike.
I'm a reasonable man, but this should be the end of the reign of the Marquis de Suc.
He started off very good, the sinker was working, no deep counts. Then the jackass decides to not take the pitch calls he's getting from Soto and shake everything off so he can get back to the suck. This all stinks of "LaRussa covert ops".

Okay, Marquis has qualified for what should be his last Cub win. Get maybe one more inning out of him (or don't, off day tomorrow) and give him a goodbye that Stevie Ire wishes he could've had.

I'm pretty sure Howry and Cotts will both be on the post-season roster. Howry for sure.
Isn't it comforting to know that we have a great bullpen and we don't have to rely exclusively on Samardzia, Marmol and Wood?
I just just noticed that I am a member of the Fucakta fan club. Can I resign?
The best insurance we could get in September would be for Marquis to be caught in a bathroom stall with either Cotts or Howry.

And if they're going to be shooting each other with some performance enhancing substance, wouldn't you rather they weren't caught?

Marquis is overpaid for what he brings, but maybe he should be viewed in context. The guy is a 500 pitcher, 190 IP, high 4's ERA, double digit wins year in and year out. For a #5 pitcher, that's pretty damn acceptable. I don't like his smirky attitude, and sure, I'd rather have a Johan Santana as my 5th starter than a Marquis de Suck. But objectively, he's probably one of the top 5 #5 pitchers in baseball. Nothing wrong with that. And he will never start a post-season game barring injuries, so he can't hurt the team when it counts in October.
He kind of looks like Mark Cuban a bit, too, just noticed that.

He can also hit, run, bunt and fields his position better than any other guy on the staff. He just isn't the balls and considering that the other four starters are capable of delivering a masterpiece any given start, the fact that we have to brace ourselves and hope he keeps the team in it when he starts is such a letdown that we may be harder on him than he deserves. The lousy son of a bitch.

Not to quibble, but he doesn't hit his position best, that would be Carlos. And he doesn't bunt the best, that would be Dempster. But overall he's not such a total slug, I agree. He's just mediocre, and I can identify with that. True story.

I was just thinking that Marquis' bizarre 7 innings of shutout ball today reminded me of this game (http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN200309240.shtml).
Obviously today's game wasn't as important, but both were surprisingly well-pitched games from a shitbird that the vast majority of us loathe(d).
Nice game today, shithead.

There were times in the early 80s when he would have been the ace of the staff. Yes, the Cubs have been VERY bad in the past.

So, he's somewhere between the 121st and 125th best starter in MLB. Yea?
The fact that Marquis shut down a team that sucked even before they traded 2 of their 3 best hitters doesn't impress me.
He's still shitty.
Who cares if he's shitty. He's going to start a few more games this year then do the same thing we all are going to do....watch the Cubs in the playoffs on TV.

I was thinking about this on the trip home last night... The Harden trade has increased Marquis' value - it basically sent away our old #5 starter for a starter that was so ridiculously better than Marquis that it bumped Jason down to the clear #5 starter.
As a #4 starter...it's probably not as clear. While we're overpaying, the Harden deal gave Marquis a role where he might actually be very good.

Yep. It's the role of "pitcher that definitely won't be in the playoff rotation." I think it's the role for which he's best suited.

All we need now is for Runge to completely fuck up a ball/strike count every time Marquis pitches...if he does it with the leadoff hitter, we'll see a no-hitter.
Only a 3 run first. Not bad.

There was ever a chance that he was going to make the post season rotation? Or, for that matter, the post season roster at all?
Either Sheets is hurt or Mark DiFelice forgot to throw his bullpen session before the game.
This piece of shit. I'm sure he or others would defend him by saying he 'only' gave up 3, and that the team didn't hit, but there's a reason he never wins a lot of games, and it's that it's deflating to his teammates to see this retard out there on the mound. Cubs win 5 in a row, Brewers lose 5 in a row, Sheets has all the pressure in the world on him (and would eventually cave in, in his way), Cubs need only to win the last two games to clinch, so naturally Marquis goes out and gives up 3 runs before getting an out. Then he 'settles down'. What a faggot this guy is. Playoffs can't come soon enough, get this asshole off the field.

This piece of shit. I'm sure he or others would defend him by saying he 'only' gave up 3, and that the team didn't hit, but there's a reason he never wins a lot of games, and it's that it's deflating to his teammates to see this retard out there on the mound. Cubs win 5 in a row, Brewers lose 5 in a row, Sheets has all the pressure in the world on him (and would eventually cave in, in his way), Cubs need only to win the last two games to clinch, so naturally Marquis goes out and gives up 3 runs before getting an out. Then he 'settles down'. What a faggot this guy is. Playoffs can't come soon enough, get this asshole off the field.
It's not that he gave up 3 runs. He walked five. In his previous outing, he walked five. Milwaukee is pretty much demoralized, and Marquis spent the night issuing walks to a team that can't get out of his own way.
On another note, how do the Cubs only manage four hits and one run in seven innings against the Brewers' bullpen?

No way, man. When I was watching the World Cup in France a few years ago, I saw numerous soccer players go down with what looked to be bone-crushing knee injuries. They'd roll on the ground, screaming in agony. But then, rather than be carried away on a stretcher, they'd hobble over to the sideline, receive a magical cure from some kind of healing spray, and be back on the pitch running and
diving er, kicking all over again.
To recover so quickly from such agonizing injuries is a clear indication of how tough those guys are. Either that or they need to get that magical spray into baseball ASAP, for all those nagging elbow and shoulder injuries. Just think, Mary Prior might be pitching this year if he'd been exposed to that spray!
Sigh. I retired from playing soccer after my 2nd ACL reconstruction, but anytime you wanna go for a spin Fork, you're on.

So when the Cubs clinch the division we should flip over ballroom dancers and not soccer players?
Yes.
You take the one on the right. I'll work on the one on the left.

Don't you understand? Soccer players don't get hot girls, even if they have hot girls hanging all over them. It's science.
Moreover, in high school, I'm absolutely positive that I could have beat the shit out of more than 75% of our football team.

I don't really have anything against soccer players or soccer fans or soccer moms or soccer balls or any of that shit. It's just the sport itself. I have ADD. The game's too slow for me. Sorry. All that effort just to
almost score. At least in ice soccer they get across the rink fast as hell and smash into each other, occasionally dropping the gloves for fisticuffs. International tournaments with the pride of one's country on the line? That's interesting to watch, I'll grant you. For about 15 minutes. Then I'm flipping over to some boobilige. Or a Frazier re-run. Fuck. ANYTHING.

I hate when pro-soccer people assume I don't like soccer because there isn't enough scoring. That's not the problem with the game as a spectator sport. Apex is right....it too much effort just to get to a decent scoring chance. I don't care if the ball goes in the goal, but I want to see a shot every so often.

That has been my problem with the game the last few years. Too much play acting, not enough offense, too much boring, slow defense. Guys were playing to not lose, and not to win. There are some games that put me to sleep after 15 minutes. Hell, World Cup finals have put me to sleep (Argentina versus Germany 1990 - Not even a coked out Maradona could keep me awake).
I reserve most of my fanaticism for the US National Team. I'll go catch a game sometimes, used to play a lot, but otherwise, I don't flip cars over it.
Some people say the same thing about baseball though; it's too slow and boring. Once you understand the intricacies and the strategy behind baseball; you can appreciate it. Same with soccer. Then again, some teams in soccer are like Steve Trachsel. Slow and booooooooooooooooooring.

Marquis, 30, has been a consisted winner
That is all.
Cubs are saving about $5 million in this deal. Hopefully Vizcaino can pull one of those randomly good reliever seasons out of his drunk ass.

The Cubs needed a way to get more homers. Luis Vizcaino can help them with that. From the mound.
But hey, he's no Jason Marquis. So he's got that going for him. Which is nice.

Does this bring Peavy back into play?
Bruce Levine says DeRosa is all but gone for a couple prospects who would then be swung into a Peavy deal. Also, he said the 5 million will go toward Uncle Miltie.
Levine? Shit that guy is still reporting that the 2004 Cubs are about to sign Pudge Rodriguez.
While I realize he's probably just thinking out loud, it's still worth posting. Especially because we can make Bruce Levine jokes.

Like the fact that he was risking his life reporting on DeRosa possibly being dealt instead of giving his mother a foot rub?

They aren't?
I don't even know who Luis Vizcaino is. I don't even care. He probably won't even make the major league roster. This means no more Marquis. This might be a good year, after all.
I'm happy that this thread is about to be over and done with until the Cubs/Rox series when Marquis throws a 2-hit shutout at the Cubs at Coors.

TRADE EVERYONE
BUMP.
Looks like he is having a pretty good second half (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AooBuFFzktJjLNRZRye8jPQ5nYcB?slug=ap-reds-rolenhurt&prov=ap&type=lgns).

nice
I suppose the salient point here is...
Why would the Reds bother getting Scott Rolen?

Sure it does. Rolen will be 35 next year. Roger Craig taught Dusty that most players peak between 35-39 years old, so they're just waiting to cash in on his prime years.
Looks like a Marquis-Dempster match-up in Coors Saturday.

I'm sure Marmol could pull it off if he aimed right for it.

"The Nationals will sign Jason Marquis, according to MASN. It's a two-year deal, according to MLB Network's Hazel Mae. The Phillies and Mets were other clubs reportedly in the mix for the 31-year-old righty. Back on December 15th, Marquis explained to MLB.com's Bill Ladson that he found the ability to mentor the Nats' young pitching staff appealing.
Marquis racked up 216 innings for the Rockies this year with a 4.04 ERA, 4.8 K/9, 3.3 BB/9, and 55.6% groundball rate."
