[CaliforniaRaisin]

I think they'll be able to get the game in, though a delay is likely:

Maybe Dusty has insider information on a rainout and released this lineup to stroke some egos.

Good ol Dusty boy in the 2nd spot. WHY THE HELL NOT MURTON? Dusty yet again proves he should be competeing in the special olympics of managaing.

Hasn't really moved south at all in the past hour, but rather just kinda hanging over Milwaukee. That may be a good sign.

 

The Cubs and Padres won't have many chances to make it up, so a doubleheader wouldn't be a great option. Tomorrow is supposed to suck nearly as much as it does today and Sunday won't be all that much better.

Good God Almighty....Pierre/Perez 1 and 2.

 

A traveshamockery....

[bobbyd20]

I'm officially not watching today. Perez hitting 2nd and Murton 7th is completely laughable. Dusty must being trying to get fired.

Pierre back leading off - check

Neifi batting second when Ronny, Murton, Hairston, even Mabry would be better options - check

Murton still hitting behind Mabry - check

Jacque Jones sitting against a righty - check

 

I seriously want Dusty to go home. Just go back to California and wait for a call. From another team.

[LoneStarCubFan]

Apparently Dusty left Theriot chained to the bench in the visitors' dugout in San Francisco. I hope Grady Little has the key. Ryan's probably getting hungry.

[LoneStarCubFan]

Dude, Walker's been slumping. He needs day off against a righty.

[RyCubsFan]

That lineup! :shock: Put the people with the lowest OBP at the top of the lineup?????

 

Big day for Guzman. Either Guz or Hill is about to be replaced by Kerry Wood in the rotation. It'll probably come down to how Angel does today and how Rich does in his next start.

Maybe he can eat some dirty hot dogs off the floor that someone dumped over.

 

Perez and Cedeno in the 2-3 spots is about as bad as it has ever been. Murton hitting 7th should be an automatic suspension and/or firing. Instead of sitting Walker/Jones against all of those left-handers that neither one can hit he waits until we play against 6 righties in a row to sit them.

 

DOes good defense mean you get to pick whatever spot you want in the lineup on a Dusty team?

You say that like you are surprised.

Dusty needs to try something different. Obviously all the other lineups aren't working. So I can't blame Dusty at all. Walker been in a major slump for the past 10 days.

Neifi at the top is hardly different. He was there all last year and the offense sucked.

[Chocolate Milk]

I can't beleive our roster consists of those players. Hopefully this game will get snowed out.

Oh my God.

[Banedon]

I'm beyond the point of surprise.

 

I just laugh insanely now at the Cubs.

[soccer10k]

Our #3 hitter has 2 career home runs and averages one home run every 100 AB's. Wow. Good thing I'm not watching this one.

Are you suggesting that it's unlikely we'll score many runs today?

They may start the game with three straight bunts. You know, just to get a run across early.

[CubinNY]

Why not put Murton in the 3 slot?

 

It looks like Dusty is going with the speed at the top philosophy today?

Neifi's about as quick as Ron Coomer.
