why would you put your best hitter in the #8 hole?

 

Eric Patterson is our best hitter?

Damn straight! Did you see that perfect sac last night?

That was a clutch bunt.

[Mizzou]

What an ugly lineup

HAHA! Classic!

[Flames24Rulz]

EPatt was Iowa's leadoff hitter. Why not have Patterson leadoff, Theriot bat 2nd, and move Fontenot down in the order? What an ugly, ugly, ugly lineup.

[Allroy]

Cliff Floyd might have been a decent option at cleanup 5 years ago. This team is really, really hurting for power right now. Dye sure would look good there right now. Thanks Jimbo.

guess you're not too attached to marmol then

There's some serious problems with the way this team is being run. If Patterson was called up because of his experience hitting leadoff, why isn't he hitting leadoff? There's no reason for him to be here over Pie. None.

Let's see what he can do before we think it's [expletive] that Pie isn't here.

[Shilzzz]

Well, they do have Woody Williams pitching, so I'm not too concerned. If there's one pitcher that the Cubs should be able to win against without both Ramirez and Soriano, it's Williams.

Unless Pie isn't 100% from his leg injury.

[TysonCBulls423]

Pie didn't exactly light the world on fire when he was up. Relax, let's see what Patterson does first.

[E.J.]

Worst. Outfield. Ever.

[Jazz]

fyi, im gonna do another aim chat tonight. IM delajoo if your interested.

There's a difference between optimism and blind faith. Not every single move the Cubs make has to be defended.

patterson has a more patient approach at the plate... it's certainly possible if not probable that he'll adjust more quickly to major league pitching

It's not.

 

Patterson has had only 1 AB, and that was a bunt. Relax lets see what he does....

[TysonCBulls423]

Not every single move has to be bashed either. Seriously, let's see what Patterson can do. It's not like he's had his shot before.

[Rob]

I love that we have 4 second basemen in the lineup instead of playing Murton. What a crock.

Yeah, it's pretty apparent that, short of a huge number of injuries, Murton isn't going to get a chance

[FergieJ31]

The lineup is RLRLRLRL (it was the best I could do)

[Shilzzz]

The lineup is TLRTLRTLR (it was the best I could do)
