I won't be able to watch this game because FOX will likely be showing either the Dodgers or A's game out here and MLB.TV will be blacked out.

 

Ah, the wonderful Fox blackout. I won't be able to watch because my game of the week is Boston/LA Angels at 1pm ET. Instead of showing the Cubs at 4pm ET, Fox will have Cops playing. Gotta love the Fox Saturday blackout. :x

That's scary when I look at Neifi in the 2 spot and say that with this lineup, that's where he should be. Well, he also is hitting well this month-well, at least better than half the people in our lineup today. In short, I like the order-just not the people in the lineup today.

I won't be able to watch this game because FOX will likely be showing either the Dodgers or A's game out here and MLB.TV will be blacked out.

 

Don't worry about missing it. This is the Cubs and the Cards ON FOX TV on Saturday afternoon. Chances are the announcers will be Buck and McCarver. So, I guess you should be lucky that you won't have to listen to those two losers get a large TENT every time a Cardinals player makes a play, and take their subtle and not so subtle jab at the Cubs.

 

And maybe, just maybe we can see the "All Star" in action behind the plate. Maybe Molina will do something that makes McCarver say something stupid like "Molina is HOFer, or a legend" or something as stupid.

 

So consider yourself lucky, soccer10k.

Is Dusty trying to lose or something?

 

Why do you say that?

 

Pay Rasie (Perez)

Pagan saiuance (Pagan)

Sherriff opf Mabry (Mabry

 

Arei n the the lineup.

 

I assumed those were the three points of contention. But, they have done well the past few days. Perez did have a good game on Thursday. Pagan went 3-4 yesterday. And Mabry hit the game tying homer yesterday.

 

Note: I never advocate starting Neifi. I would rather see Murton over Pagan, but I do think Pagan should play base on yesterday. Maby or Nevin...it doesn't even matter since I don't see Nevin being traded since DLee is out.(Actually, I'd rather see Walker at first.)
