Marquis just threw a CG at San Fran. He's now 4-1 with a 3.31 ERA.

I always thought we could have gotten more for Marquis. Coors Field will catch up with him though just wait a few more starts.

One would think, but he's dominated there in his career: 5-0, 2.72 ERA.

But he is Marquis, he will suck sooner or later. It has to happen and it will. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img]

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Oliver Perez was pulled in the third inning Saturday after allowing five hits, four earned runs and six walks to the Phillies.
There's something seriously wrong with Ollie. He's now working with a 9.97 ERA and a 20/21 K/BB ratio in just over 20 innings. Perez has been rocked in three straight starts, and it'd be hard to justify running him out there again. The Mets may need to consider their options.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

A couple months ago we heard Abreu wanted 3/45, and now he has an offer for 1/8? Wow.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And what's interesting is the pitchers are still going for normal price or close to it. I can't imagine Oliver Perez getting much more than 12 million bucks in other years for example.

<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->A fine deal for the Mets. In last year's market, Perez would have been in line for a five-year contract, possibly worth $70 million.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

If that deal had happened, we might be looking at a worse deal than the Silva and Zito ones.

A's-M's is NUTS. A's got 3 in the top half of the 13th, M's just matched it. Gio Gonzalez has thrown 95 pitches out of the pen for the A's.

And Clappiday, my one fantasy rep in the game, is 0-7. What an asshole.

I watched a little sunday night baseball. Andruw Jones is doing pretty good. I thought he wasn't going to make the team, but due to injuries, he is starting.

[Clapp]

KB... I am now a fan of Neyer, as he linked a Denise Richards/Take Me Out To The Ballgame post I did. Odd post to consider linking, especially with the "7th inning stretch in the pants of males" comment I made.

Sounds about right. The Padres have instructed him to "take a step back" in his rehab, and it's not clear when he'll begin throwing again. "The poor guy just can't seem to get over the hump," said manager Bud Black. "He is doing everything possible for him to come back. ... I hope it works out for him."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

remember when people got all bent out of shape when we didn't resign prior? same people lamenting the loss of mark derosa if i'm not mistaken.
