Cubs-Padres Preview

The Cubs looked sloppy at the end of last night's game. There was nail biting and there shouldn't have been nail biting. Thankfully, the Michael Barrett's fly ball landed about seven feet short or I would've been forced to slam my head into the wall over and over. Lesson learned--give Marmol a night off here and there.
Tonight though, the Cubs look to make it nine straight and they throw Jason Marquis on the hill. Why should this worry the Cubs? Simply put: he's not facing the Pirates. Marquis has two victories on the season, both coming against Pittsburgh. This will be the second time he faces the Padres this season 5.2 innings giving up 4 runs and 6 hits on May 13.
