Isn't our magic number down to 19 with the Brewers loss today? For some reason, I thought it was 20 going into today.

[CubColtPacer]

I like the moving up of Jones and the dropping of Theriot because of how they've been playing lately. I don't really want to see Floyd playing, but he has had 2 straight good games (1 for 3 with a BB on Monday, and 2 for 3 with a BB last night) so hopefully he can put together a 3rd straight good game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 5-9 with Mike Reilly's umpiring crew on the field, and 0-4 with Reilly behind the plate

Go CUBS !!

[Omar]

Family Guy is a great lead into Cubs baseball. They're both really big jokes.

[Guest]

Free Murton and Soto, plz.

[hankp101]

I thought Theriot was getting the night off?

[Vanilla Ice]

Free Murton and Soto, plz.

 

Ecspially; Soto. I think he can do a lot more damage than Murton, plus Soto would be replacing Kendall not exactly a great hitter. Although I would much rather have Murton playing than Floyd.

[Sammy Sofa]

Kendall, Murton and DeRosa would all be better options for #2 over Theriot or Jones.

[Balsa]

I thought Theriot was getting the night off?

Ditto.

[TruffleShuffle]

can't wait to see how we eff this one up. the lineup is a good start toward that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

I am so glad I'm home, and don 't have to listen Milo Hamilton again !!!!

[Vanilla Ice]

Kendall, Murton and DeRosa would all be better options for #2 over Theriot or Jones.

 

Geovany Soto.

[Omar]

I'm all up for Soto starting... But I really hope he doesn't turn out to be one of those young players NSBB tends to greatly overrate... Corey Patterson, Jason Dubois, and Ronny Cedeno all come to mind.

[E.J.]

If we don't crush Matt Albers, and win tonight, then we have no right winning this craptastic division.

[Sammy Sofa]

Kendall, Murton and DeRosa would all be better options for #2 over Theriot or Jones.

 

Geovany Soto.

 

I definitely want to see what he can do, but I'd much rather have him start off lower in the order where there's at least a little less pressure.

[Vanilla Ice]

Too late.
