Game 65 Thread/Mariners @ Cubs (Finale of 3)
Game chat
Jason Marquis vs. Jeff Weaver
In the rubber game of the series, Marquis (5-3, 3.01) faces Weaver (0-6, 12.46—do not adjust your monitor; you’re actually seeing the ERA you think you’re seeing).
Marquis, who only lasted an inning and two-thirds when he pitched in Atlanta last Saturday and is three starts removed from his last truly decent outing, beat the Mariners in his one game against them, back in 2004 for the Cardinals.
In six games (four starts) against the Cubs, the 30-year-old Weaver is 2-0 with a 4.34 ERA.
The three starters Seattle will have sent to the Wrigley Field mound this week—Washburn, Batista, and Weaver--had a combined 5.86 ERA coming into the series. It doesn’t seem much to ask for the Cubs to win two out of three.
