I don't know. I've followed a few of the games and thought he had a pretty quick trigger finger at times.

 

Today, Marquis' pitch count was high after 5 innings, at 86.. but did he need to go to the pen at 86 pitches, with the starter having given 2 over 5 innings. That's unnecessary to me when you are trying to save your pen.

Marquis was absolutely terrible, the fact he somehow only gave up 2 runs doesn't change that. He pitched as poorly as Suppan did.

I don't mind seeing the Tigers choke. Everyone felt sorry for them when they were horrible. Then, they built from within, and with a couple extra free agents they made a run at world series appearance. This past offseason, they spend millions upon millions and bring in the "best" players they can get their greedy hands on. Serves them right, i see no difference between them and teams like the Yankees and Red Sox. Trying to buy a championship.

 

I'm glad it's not working out.

Just saw the highlights on baseball tonight. DeRosa hit a HR in the 6th that was clearly a foot foul! The umps got together and discussed yet still called it a HR. The Cubs went on to win in the 10th. Obviously without that HR they never would have made it to the 10th. I hope this is not a sign of how things are going to go this year? How many times last year did the Cubs pull out games late that they had no business winning? I am not sure how an ump that is standing down the 3rd base line can miss the call that badly?
