Marquis de suc defenestration thread

[Taylor]

Marquis needs to go away. Now.

[Augie-O]

He sucks.  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?  Can we "platoon" him with a pitcher who is strong in the second half of the season?  Can we trade him to Miluwakee to "replace" ben sheets?

Nice pants-shitting.  Walked Looper when he was giving up an out, walked Lassie after 1-2, hit Pujuols (so it wasn't ALL bad).  then a granny to Baby Huey (no relation, assholes).

When did Matt Clement come back?

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).  I noticed that Bengie Molina stole third.  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.  His dumbfounded look.  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.  I gotta imagine Lou's "Cedeno Countdown" is going 7...6...5...4...

Petrick is doing a great Marquis impersonation.

"Cedeno Countdown" is going 7...6...5...4...

My Cedeno Countdown is ticking down too.  It goes like this:

.167, .100, .083, .059 ....

Late Breaking News:
Pat Hughes' condition, as per Ron Santo:  "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.
