7/6 Cubs (Maddux) @ Brewers (Capuano) 7:05 PM WCIU

[Stu]

At least we've a good bench tonight. Barret, Walker, Jones, Nevin. There are some nice bats off the bench right there.

[Drew Doughty]

at least pierre has been better lately...but neifi...go brewers go! FI-YER DUSTY *clap clap clapclapclap*

[Rob]

Wow... Lee and Aramis are the only good hitters in the bunch.

[UMFan83]

I'm sure Todd thinks its better that he not start over Neifi until after the ASB

I guess I'll cover PBP again with no Fred...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

How sad is a lineup/offense when Pagan in the 5-hole is the right decision?

[E.J.]

The Brewers are going to kill us tonight. And why is Neifi batting 2nd? Pagan batting 5th? Barrett sitting? Yeesh.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

According to Darin Sutton, the Brewers have inquired as to Maddux's availability.

[Schwarber Fan]

no prob

[otis89]

I'm glad that aggressive approach is working, guys. Keep up the good work.

Is it wrong that I am cheering for the Brewers? Unfortunately with Hendry at the helm, I'm fearing that a split against Milwaukee will cause Hendry to wait the whole season to fire Dusty. IF we lose 3 out of 4 or get swept, he'll be gone after the break. So is it wrong? I'm conflicted.

[E.J.]

Brewers' announcers talking about Pagan like he's the next Pujols. Talking about how excited the Cubs are to have him back.

 

They did say that Murton should be playing since the Cubs are in the position they are.

[Schwarber Fan]

Aramis Ramirez grounds out to SS, 6-3

Angel Pagan flies out to LF

Matt Murton flies out to deep LF

 

0 runs, 0 hits, 0 errors, 0 LOB

No. You are looking to the future of the team, not the continuation of suckiness, even if it means losing now.
