4/13 Cubs (Zambrano) v.s. Reds (Milton) 1:20 WGNTV and Radio

[Jon]

Dusty better not be starting Blanco if Aramis isn't playing. That would be one pathetic lineup.

[C.C.]

Can Barrett play 3rd anymore?

 

W/out Barrett and Ramirez, who the heck is batting cleanup?

 

I'm assuming either Pagan or Murton...

[David]

I don't know the exact lineup but The Score is reporting that Hairston is at 2B, Pagan in RF, and Blanco is catching (no idea who's at 3B).

 

Looks like it's one of Dusty's forfeit lineups. That includes Blanco...

 

Fixed.

[Blueheart05]

I just heard that Murton is batting cleanup today.

I think it's to keep Z focused. Blanco seems to do it best.

This should be an interesting day.

 

How bout a no hitter from Z?

[jjgman21]

it's been a long time since he's played there, but with Blanco as Z's personal catcher, and Ram on the shelf for the day, it sure would be nice to keep Barrett's stick in the lineup by giving him the start at third.

 

edit - didn't see RyCubs post.

Now I'm starting to wonder if that onion article was actually accurate reporting.

[Jon]

Yeah, wouldn't want a power-hitting catcher to start with a wind blowing out, Eric Milton on the mound, and your cleanup hitter out.

[Chocolate Milk]

This is surely going to be a punchless lineup. Cross your fingers everyone.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Which would result in a 2-0 Cubs loss.

[Banedon]

I wonder why Hairston would be starting again? It's not like Walkers been a slouch out there or something.

Everybody knows you can't have a lefty-lefty matchup.

[C.C.]

Because it's a lefty pitcher and Hairston needs some starts. He's only gotten 1 start so far and that was yesterday. I have no problem with giving Hairston the starts.

I don't think today is the day to do it though with Ramirez and Barrett sitting out. We need all the pop we can get.

[USSoccer]

Here's hoping Ramirez woke up and felt better. I hope he's playing.

[badgercub]

For those who have mentioned starting Barrett at 3rd, who would be your back up catcher then? If Blanco got hurt, I suppose you could move Barrett behind the plate and put someone else at third. Too bad the Gremlin isn't around as the emergency catcher.lol

Mabry is the 3rd catcher.

That's good to know

Pierre

Hairston

Lee

Murton

Pagan

Cedeno

Perez

Blanco

Zambrano

 

My best guess based on hearing that Neifi is at 3B

I do when you don't have Ramirez, Barrett or Jones in the lineup. Walker gives you some needed power.

yuck. Well let's hope Z is electric today and then hopefully the speed in our lineup contributes to enough runs to win..

There's no way Cedeno bats in front of Mr. Everything.

Z should be batting 7th

Game threads are averaging 74 pages through 7 games.

 

The cubs are:

 

0-0 When the game thread is under 40 pgaes long

2-0 When the game thread is 40-49 pages long

0-0 When the game thread is 50-59 pages long

0-2 When the game thread is 60-69 pages long

1-0 When the game thread is 70-79 pages long

0-0 When the game thread is 80-89 pages long

0-0 When the game thread is 90-99 pages long

2-0 When the game thread is over 100 pages long

 

Clearly if we are in the 9th inning, we need to make sure we get to the 70 page page.
