Do I appear for every Cub game, or just this series in Milwaukee? I’m kind of sweet.

Those pics are from BCB and are where Pollyellon, Druish Druid, and their Chinese photographer friend sat.

I’m pumped! That Pirate lineup looks like something Marquis can be adequate against!
@Dave B

The one Andy put on this post is pretty cool.
Jeff Karstens

Even I don’t know who I am.

Just remember alcohol has nothing to do with diabetes.
Nope. Nothing.
Or cirrhosis for that matter.
Pissburgh
on August 1, 2008 at 1:35 pm
We are third best in runs scored! And we still suck balls! Can we trade for Eyre to shore up the bullpen?
Lassie
on August 1, 2008 at 1:37 pm
I’m in the hole.
DP Lee
on August 1, 2008 at 1:38 pm
Oh now that’s just not fair.
Karstens
on August 1, 2008 at 1:38 pm
I’ve got a really good mlb.com mugshot. I apparently have no chin.
Lee
on August 1, 2008 at 1:39 pm
That one was not my damn fault!
DP 9-Lee
on August 1, 2008 at 1:39 pm
I like some variety in my double plays, thank you very much.

Yaaaa….whad are de adds dat de Cubs ‘ave a perfect ‘omestand? I’m goin’ to say aboud one hundert percent. I tink dat Fookokomedoreme will break out and carry da Cubs.
Marquis
on August 1, 2008 at 1:41 pm
But you can call me streak killer.
de Suc
on August 1, 2008 at 1:42 pm
We haven’t been trailing enough lately. I’ll give us some practice.
MLB MugShots
on August 1, 2008 at 1:42 pm
We take a lot of pictures to find ones that are sufficiently horrible to put up on our sites.
Marq with a K
on August 1, 2008 at 1:44 pm
I should do well today. I mean, come on, I’m at least AA quality and Pissburgh is a AA team now aren’t they?
Marquis
on August 1, 2008 at 1:46 pm
I am not long for this rotation. This may be my last start.
Marquis
on August 1, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Wait…is it after the all star break? Already? Ok then…time to suck it up!
Marquis de Suc's Pants
on August 1, 2008 at 1:47 pm
I’m starting to fill up rather nicely.
Marq with a K
on August 1, 2008 at 1:50 pm
I tend to have one horrific inning every game. It usually costs us the game. Let’s hope that was my inning of Shite and I will lock it down from now on.
Marquis Estes
on August 1, 2008 at 1:53 pm
The Cubs always seem to have one of me (at least) in the rotation.
SportSync
on August 1, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Trying to put Bob and Len out of work. Necessity is the mother of invention and obviously someone decided the TV broadcasts were so bad they invented something to sync the radio to the TV so they could mute Bob and Len.
Karstens
on August 1, 2008 at 1:55 pm
We’ll see what happens second time through the rotation.
Cub Fan in PA
on August 1, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Hey, SportSync, you were talking about Hawk and DJ, right?
2 runs
on August 1, 2008 at 1:55 pm
We do not constitute a horrific inning for Marquis. We should be considered a small victory.
TiVo
on August 1, 2008 at 1:55 pm
I can do the same thing as sportsync!
SportSync
on August 1, 2008 at 1:56 pm
We do not speak of Hawk and DJ.

Who’s excited to see me play Centerfield again? I should be the bat the Sox need ….for about 2 at-bats and then the lower half of my body will actually crumble into the centerfield grass.
Vegas
on August 1, 2008 at 2:02 pm
This will be the only time in history you will see a game pitched by Marquis at -230.
McLouth
on August 1, 2008 at 2:03 pm
I’m an all-star. Or at least I represented pissburg at the all-star game.

Hey SportSync, you’re not funny and are really a douchebag. You should go hang out with Marquis–you two have a lot in common.

My turn for the gran salami?
Stranded
on August 1, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Can I get a hit?
Jason Marquis
on August 1, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Would you hurry up and tie it, so I can give up some more runs?
Quade
on August 1, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Screw it, from now on, I’m sending everybody.
Alfonso
on August 1, 2008 at 2:52 pm
I didn’t get to second? Really?
Two outs....rally this time?

yes?

Len
on August 1, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I am ommiserating with Marquis because the Cubs do not score runs for him.
Len
on August 1, 2008 at 2:57 pm
I just said that Jason’s the unlucky pitcher who never gets any run support. I glossed over the fact he put the Cubs behind 5-0 in the third inning on Sunday and they bailed him out.
Marquis
on August 1, 2008 at 2:58 pm
I deserve to lose, just for picking the ghey blueberry tops today.
Jason Marquis
on August 1, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Just digging the hole a little deeper…
Len
on August 1, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Jason is ommiserable.
Marquis
on August 1, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Ron said that he just thinks we are going to explode. If he means “with diarrhea,” I gotta say I have already crapped my pants, so it is a moot point.
Lucky
on August 1, 2008 at 3:01 pm
that Jason Bey was traded last night. wait, wait, was that back to back home runs?
Banks Boulevard
on August 1, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Has anybody ever hit a ball off the yellow lip of the basket before?
Don’t worry, Jack, Jason will let you score here in a second.
Explode in the good way?
on August 1, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Or was he freaking out about them being down by only 3 runs?
Andy
on August 1, 2008 at 3:03 pm

Hey Lou you know that you don’t have to send Marquis out to the mound every fifth day, right?
Dusty Baker
on August 1, 2008 at 3:06 pm
My teams could never hit rookies either, dudes.

None of this would be happening if Hendry had made a trade yesterday.

on August 1, 2008 at 3:10 pm
If they were going to get an American Pie guy, couldn’t it at least have been Shit Break?
Geo
on August 1, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Get ready on Waveland. I’m sending this one your way.
Geo
on August 1, 2008 at 3:12 pm
By Waveland, I meant nine hopper to third.

Ron
on August 1, 2008 at 3:14 pm
I think I just impressed the guy from that terrible movie about the Cubs by explaining my “Little Babe Ruth” joke to him.
Ron Santo
on August 1, 2008 at 3:16 pm
We call him Little Babe Ruth because we found him in the clubhouse one day with his dick in a pie.
Bad play...bad call
on August 1, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Cotts should have just thrown it, but how do you miss that call at first?
Irregular Joe
on August 1, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Pat & Ron agree call at first was blown.

Sweeping the Brewers in Milwaukee and losing to the Pirates at home?
Typical Cubs.
Meh
on August 1, 2008 at 4:22 pm
No. 5 starter gives up three runs after a huge sweep on the road = no big deal.
Get them with Z tomorrow.
Carlos Zambrano
on August 1, 2008 at 4:58 pm
I wish I was going tomorrow. Gopher Boy Ted Lilly is pitching tomorrow.

Fuck these pathetic slapdick cocksuckers. It’s fucking Pittsburgh — you’d have a harder time beating the fucking Iowa Cubs. Fuck!
Both Ponderosa and Riot resting today.
