Let's hope the CUBS don't play like they've got the day off, too !!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

The fecal league has recently experienced.... shrinkage.

 

2006 Fecal League Standings (as of 5/25/06)

Team            W       L       PCT     GB
=============   ==      ==      ====    ===
Chicago Cubs    18      28      .391     - 
Pittsburgh      14      31      .311    3.5
Florida         14      33      .298    4.5
Kansas City     10      35      .222    7.5

As always though - while the league may stink, the Cubs remain at the top of the pile.

 

I see realignment has taken the Nationals out of our division.

[Outshined_One]

The fact that Tony Womack might start this game is reason enough not to bother watching.

[Brian34Cook]

This is meant as a joke honestly but here's what I see happening.. even though I'm a Cards fan!

 

1. Juan Pierre CF

2. Neifi Perez 3B

3. Todd Walker 1B

4. Ronny Cedeno SS

5. Tony Womack 2B

6. Freddie Bynum RF

7. Jerry Hairston LF

8. Henry Blanco C

9. Carlos Zambrano SP

 

Dusty loves his middle infielders doesnt he? Blanco usually catches Zambrano right? Well then.. I'll probably be wrong on Bynum cuz he could be gone with Womack around..

[WindyCity]

Despite reports to the contrary, this is the real reason for Frank Robinson's tears.

[LeftCoastCubFan]

It’s not nice for a Cards fan to kick Cubs fans when they are down.

 

Actually tomorrow we unveil Hendry’s master plan. Last time the Cards were in town we collected some hairs from their dugout. The cloning process is complete and here is our starting lineup.

 

1. Juan Pierre CF

2. Neifi Perez 3B

3. Todd Pujols 1B

4. Ronny Pujols SS

5. Tony Pujols 2B

6. Freddie Pujols RF

7. Jerry Pujols LF

8. Henry Pujols C

9. Carlos Zambrano SP

 

If they all show up with mascara, they grabbed the wrong hair brush.

[soccer10k]

Fred, you're making my brain hurt with all these numbers you keep throwing around. I got a couple for you: Braves 78, Cubs 0.

 

Of course the Cubs will win this game, and likely two of three.

 

Anything to get our hopes up for a moment and then...

 

 

smack! down again.

 

Or we sweep Atlanta to set up the inevitable...

 

DUSTY BAKER EXTENTION!!

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

so why would we dare bench neifi or hairston....cmon everyone we know murton is gettin phased out and Womack is playing left field. I mean he does have some EXCELLENT experience there....good god when's notre dame start football

[Balsa]

GAME. Better luck tomorrow.

[NorthsideAvenger]

cubs gonna lose 21-0

 

Gonna? That implies there is SOME hope that the Cubs will beat the Braves. The Cubs WILL lose, prolly before the 1st inning is through.

[E.J.]

So Pierre might finally be moved from the leadoff spot, and we might have a new leadoff hitter today. Oh wait, it's probably Tony Womack.

[C.C.]

Womack will be hitting 2nd playing 2B. You can bank on that!

[moorecg]

Womack will be hitting 2nd playing 2B. You can bank on that!

 

cause you have to get him right into the mix so he can feel comfortable...just like Theriot...oh, wait, nevermind.

Of couse! You can't have a Vet just sitting on the bench. His bones might get a bit creaky...

I don't know how many games, I have watched where I have heard the announcers say "starting tonight (insert player) who was just called up from triple-A this morning". Seems like anytime a guy is called up they start that night. Well unless that player plays for a Dusty Baker managed ball club.

Admittedly, I haven't watched this trainwreck as closely as normal over the past few weeks...but did Theriot EVER get a start?

No, but he does have 4 at bats!!!

Wow...4 at bats over 2+ weeks, I mean, what more shot could Dusty have given him. Good Riddance to the unproductive scrub.

And you'd rather see Neifi or Hairston in the lineup?

[E.J.]

2. Neifi 2b

3. Walker 1b

4. Barrett C

5. Jones RF

6. Ramirez 3b

7. Bynum LF

I'm sure Aram will see a bunch of good pitches today with the power-hitting Bynum hitting behind him. Should be a wonderful day for Aram to hit. :x

Simply awful. Look at the black hole at 1,2... What a fricken joke.

[Mizzou]

Oh boy. Pierre and Neifi 1-2? And Bynum starting? In the same game that Neifi is?

 

Moron.
