Bruce: Is this a part of Lee's suspension?

[Soul]

Come on, that has to be joke or something.

 

We've got a 50/50 chance of even plating 2 runs with that lineup.

Yikes, careful what you wish for. I asked for Fontenot to be back at the 2 hole and boy, did I ever get it. Ugly.

I'd think it was a joke, but it is Bruce posting.

This lineup is not good at all-one note of slight optimism:

 

Jason Bergmann

Against LHB: .222/.321/.422

Against RHB: .174/.232/.261

 

It doesn't make it all better (or probably even close), but at least it's not quite as bad as it appears at first glance.

From the way Lee has looked at the plate lately, a day off will probably do him some good. That being said, Jones and Izturis should not be in the lineup.

Lee, Derosa, Theriot, and Bowen are all RHers. Jones instead of Pie though....?!?!

Lou said he was going to get Jones in pretty soon here. I guess he doesn't want to get Pie in there until after the break (he won't start Friday or Sunday).

A pitcher who allows a .075 BAA to rightiees and a .300 to lefties is offset and then some by the difference between Jones and Lee.Lou really should have staggered the starts for all the dead weight he's been benching lately.

[killthegoat06]

Marshall better throw a shutout.

[CubmanPi]

Marshall better throw a shutout.

Won't be enough. If he could somehow limit the Nats to -1, we'd be set, but I think they're more likely to do that to the Cubs.

[C.C.]

This sucks! We already lost...

[CubColtPacer]

I'll be brave and say the Cubs will score 5 tonight.

[C.C.]

I'll be brave and say the Cubs will score 5 tonight.

 

Brave or foolish? :wink:

[Fred Hornkohl]

That lineup sure is a head scratcher.

[killthegoat06]

I'll be brave and say the Cubs will score 5 tonight.

 

Brave, yet stupid.

[Bruce Miles]

Bruce: Is this a part of Lee's suspension?

 

No, it's a day off for Lee and DeRosa.

[CubmanPi]

I'll be brave and say the Cubs will score 5 tonight.

This is almost as laughable as that one time last week when someone said the Cubs would come back to win, even though they spotted the Brewers 5 runs in the first.

[Outshined_One]

I'll be brave and say the Cubs will score 5 tonight.

 

Brave or foolish? :wink:

 

The line between the two is quite thin.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Izturis could score that many with his glove, no?

[Alfonso Soriano]

Bruce: Is this a part of Lee's suspension?

 

No, it's a day off for Lee and DeRosa.

Why doesn't he just start his suspension if he gets a day off?

Get it over with before we get into the tough competition.

[Mizzou]

Why the hell is Jacque Jones starting?

[Soul]

Ahh that Lou. Nice one! You had us going for awhile.

 

Now what's the real lineup?
