5/19 - Cubs (Maddux) @ White Sox (Buehrle) - 3:05 WGN

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Cubs lose, 114-1. They suck.

the one run will be a neifi perez inside the park bunt

[USSoccer]

I could have sworn Baker said he wants Ramirez to play 3B this weekend, so maybe Walker DH's with Mabry at 1st and Hairston or Bunty McNoTalent at 2nd.

Cubs Game Notes

[Banedon]

please don't embarass us too much.

 

I'm already just about as embarrassed as I can be to be a Cubs fan. Not sure this series can do much to make that worse.

[Banedon]

I could have sworn Baker said he wants Ramirez to play 3B this weekend, so maybe Walker DH's with Mabry at 1st and Hairston or Bunty McNoTalent at 2nd.

 

That sounds about right. And yes, in the Daily Herald he said he "needs Ramirez's defense" at 3rd. Which amuses me, because don't we have Neifi because he can catch the ball? We sure don't have him for his bat!

We have Neifi because he saved us last year-saved us from having to pay Lee more after winning the MVP...

 

For all his offensive woes, Ramirez has only 1 error this season, which isn't too shabby considering he's mostly been throwing to Walker at 1B.

 

And I think he'll have a good offensive series, provided that he stops trying to swing too hard and hit a 12 run, 7 game winning HR every time he bats. He generally has success against the Sox, IIRC.

[Master Shake]

Dusty better not start freaking Neifi!

 

There is SO MUCH you can say about that statement...

 

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

 

So I'll take the G-Rated path...

 

Neifi's at the plate, count is 3-0, he's about to walk in a run...

 

Dusty walks up behind him, taps him on the shoulder and says "BOO!"

 

This totally freaks Neifi, and he bunts an out to lose the game.

I see...I was wondering what the hell you were talking about. I wanted to say something other them Freaking starting with a F, but I didn't want to upset the kiddies...

[soccer10k]

Cubs are gonna here alot of Boos. First from the Sox fans and then from the Cubs fans. They better come out smoking to settle down the crowd.

 

I PREDICT! Cubs win this game 6-2! Murton and Jones goes yard!

 

I can see the headlines already: "Cubs and White Sox Fans United". At least they'll agree on something - the Cubs suck.

Why the heck does Pierzalphabet bat in front of the AL MVP?

[E.J.]

We are gonna get killed this weekend. And what's worse, nothing will come of it. We'll still have Baker chewing toothpicks in the dugout and Hendry gulping down hot dogs in the seats.

[Big Fergie J]

What level is the Suckitude meter at right now ?

 

And when does it explode ?....or did that happen in the bottom of the 9th ystdy ?

[halplm]

I'm betting Neifi will DH... gotta give him those ABs to help him get his swing back! Or... bunting back... yeah...

A Jones HR off of a lefty? :shock:

Or maybe you mean against the bullpen...

[RyCubsFan]

I actually like our chances with the White Sox bullpen. While it was a strength for the Sox last year, this year as a whole it hasn't been very good.

[moorecg]

Bunty McNoTalent

 

I like it.

[thedaymen]

OMG...I just realized that if I had to fill out a lineup card for today's game, I have no idea who I'd DH...unless thats where they stick ARAM.

[RegulusBlue]

If we had signed the Gladiator, we'd have a DH, but smart moves really don't have any effect on the Cubs brass.

[beersoakedivy]

The only advantage we have in todays game is that the Sox played a late game in Tampa and got back to Chicago late last night.

[louisvillecub]

I am really afraid to see the lineup for today...

[Pistolcub42]

This lefty BP pitcher is horrible. He seriously can't throw a strike to save his life... It really can't be that hard to find someone to throw BP....

[halplm]

well, we certainly don't have a "real" DH... and we don't have anyone on the bench hitting very well...

 

Probably DH Barrett or something screwy like that... I mean... gotta have a power hitter at DH, right? He's a power hitter, right?

Average power...maybe a little above average
