G1 GD 18 Marquis v. Cory Lidle
2-1 2.08 Cory Lidle facing the #2 starter on a struggling Suede rotation optimism was high in Da Bronx as Triumph the Insult Comic Dog came out to sing the National Anthem and "Blue Suede Shues" in honor of the opponent. Unfortunately, "don't you poop on my blue suede shoes" seemed to be what was sang.

Carolina opened up the floodgates with a 2 run first highlighted by 3 straight hits off the top of the inning to take a 2-0 lead while Jason Marquis combined with 3 relievers to win 3-1.
