[brinoch]

Well, not if you want guys on base so Soriano can drive them in.

Seriously no Theriot? No Pie? Might as well send him back down if hes not going to start. This is the 3rd or 4th game in a row without a start from him, whats the point.

[jersey cubs fan]

Get Felix out here ASAP. Same with Murton. You can't have both these guys sitting on the bench every game.

Start Felix or send him down. Send him down is probably the best option as this is the best OF available at this point.

[Keener98]

Lol 3 of us at the same time say the same thing, hmmm lol

[jersey cubs fan]

Felix has 12 ABs in the last 7 days, Murton has 9. This is highly detrimental to both of these players.

 

Murton had 81 ABs by this time last year, now he has 46.

FYI, Guzman is starting Sunday

Lou must have really wanted to break up those lefties.

Yeah, and my guess is Felix will be sent down.

[rawaction]

Not a bad idea to get him a start against the Nats. Winnable game to get back on track.

Might as well cause being a pinch runner and playing D sure in the hell isnt doing him any good.

That was my original thought, but his AAA starts really muddied the waters.

Well, Sunday will almost be like another AAA start.

[RyCubsFan]

Ugh about the line-up. I'd start Murton and Theriot everyday. Floyd and Izturis should be on the bench.

I'm hoping he threw the ball well, just had a couple location problems. He hadn't really pitched a game that poorly all year.

8. Izturis, SS

 

Jesus Christ, where's The Riot! He's also as hot as $hit and sitting on the bench because of Izturis' LH 'bat'??

 

!@#$%!!!!!!

[YearofDaCubs]

Why is Izteris in the lineup today? If he continues with his poor fielding, he has NO value on this team. Meanwhile, the blue-hot hitting T-Riot is on the bench. Why Lou?

 

Come on Carlos, let's see the true nasty Z on the bump today!

 

3-game consecutive HR streak for Sori?

I wonder if Hendry has put pressure on Lou to start the unreliable, worthless midget.

Almost makes you wonder if Neifi and Macias were Hendry's doing and not Dusty's.

Izturis is tied for the lead among NL shortstops with 5 Errors and has the lowest SS fielding percentage in the majors. We already know that he can't hit. Why the hell is he in the lineup after an off day?

Because Izturcrap is Hendry's pet.

Yeah. Send him to AAA to play every day. Getting spinters in his ass won't do him any good.

Sure would be nice to have Maddux as a #5 starter right now.

Yeah. The Dodgers got the better of that trade.
