This looks like a game the cubs are going to lose, but that being said its only May 14 so people just relax.

7.5 games back in May is still a lot when you have to climb over 4 teams.

Looking at the time these lineups were posted it has to be a joke.

[baseball7897]

Any news on Pagan?

He is saving us you know....saving us from sending up the W flag at the end of the game that is.

[YearofDaCubs]

Baker benches Murton to play Hairston in LF yet he won't bench Neifi at 2B to play Hairston there. It's criminal.

[frostwyrm]

Including today Neifi has started 5 of the last 7 games. I'm starting to regurgitate some of the crow I ate.

[otis89]

What the *bleep* about Neifi's .210 average, .231 OBP, .274 SLG, 0 homers and 6 RBI is it that gets him so much playing time? ](*,)

Two words: Dusty Baker

He can catch the ball. That was Hendry's justification to signing him for 2 years.

[Magnetic Curses]

this is the definition of fantatstic damage.

 

i'm so glad that neifi and bynum are not only on the team, but starting and playing consistently.

To be fair, Bynum has only had a couple starts, although that's more than he should ever get.

bynum is worthless, his acquisition is as a headscratching move as i've ever seen.

 

i partially blame dusty for playing him, but i wholly blame hendry for getting him.

[frostwyrm]

I think we're seeing Dusty retreating into his comfort zone. To Dusty Neifi is like a teddy bear to cuddle with during a scary thunderstorm.

[Yeti]

do they use the same clips for the intro to games on WGN for every game?

 

 

i saw myself in the left field bleachers on todays intro

 

kinda funny considering i root against the cubs these days

[sweetpeteman]

so they just showed the pregame press confrence with Dusty, and he got asked about losing, and managed, within like two sentances had changed teh subject to it being mothers day.
