It feels great. Obviously, it's been playing with my mind for the last month and a half or so. I've got to realize that I did throw some good games within those 12 games, but when you don't get results, it starts messing with you.
"Jason Scott Marquis" is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Cincinnati Reds organization. He has pitched for the Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies, Washington Nationals, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres and Minnesota Twins.
As a 12-year-old, Marquis pitched his team to third place in the Little League World Series with a no-hitter. He is one of only a few ballplayers to have played in both a Little League World Series and a Major League World Series. He also pitched his high school team to consecutive New York City championships. Marquis was drafted in the first round out of high school by the world champion Atlanta Braves, and reached the majors as a 21-year-old in 2000.
As a major leaguer, Marquis won 11 or more games for six straight years through 2009, and also started 28 or more games in each of the years 2004–09. His 65 wins from 2004 to 2008 ranked 7th among N.L. pitchers. Through 2011, in his career in games that were late and close Marquis held batters to a .228 batting average. He also excelled with the bat, winning the Silver Slugger Award in 2005.

I don't think you'll find a better warrior than Woody. If you're not going to have your ace on the mound, I would think Woody would be the one guy they want to have on the mound, just because of his competitive nature and his never-die attitude.
They told me during last night's game that I might be starting today. I did my normal day before routine so I would be ready.
If I had the answer, I would have done it two months ago. You've got to go out there and keep pitching and be aggressive and try not to lose confidence and believe in yourself.
He and Barry Bonds are the two greatest hitters in the game right now, I've always thought that, and him hitting this home run doesn't change my views. To me, that's one guy I wouldn't like to face in that situation whether he hit the home run or not.
Since the Braves rarely, if ever give up effective starters (see Bruce Chen , Damian Moss , Steve Avery , etc.) it's tough to believe that Marquis will bring much to the table in his post-Atlanta years.
I played with Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz and I've never seen anything like this.
You look out there, ... and there aren't too many true aces out there that are going to shut you down.
