I wish we still had Angel Pagan....

 

He's nothing special, but he's still would be a nice player to have.

[radarluv1]

this one could get ugly.

I prefer players that are actually good.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Time to head out to the ballpark.

 

Go CUBS !!

He's not great, but he's not terrible. Also, he's good on defense, and a switch hitter.

Small sample size I know, but he's hitting .387 with an OBP of .462 for the Mets this year.

He'll return to his .740ish OPS soon enough.

Who would you want him over? Felix Pie and Reed Johnson are the only two players he could replace. He's certainly not a better option than Pie, and Johnson is a lot better at hitting lefties than him.

Oh great, Hamels?

 

383782-0 Phillies.

[VanceJergins]

Oh great, Hamels?

 

383782-0 Phillies.

 

Soriano, Theriot, and Ramirez have lit him up pretty well. And nobody else has more than 6 PA's againt him. I'd be more worried if Hamels sucked.

He's a lefty though, and last year he pretty much dominated us.

 

:help:

The Cubs have dominated lefties this year though.

Wow...odd lineup i guess.

[weatherdood]

Wow...odd lineup i guess.

 

I kinda don't hate it.

[Roast]

Wow...odd lineup i guess.

 

I kinda don't hate it.

Yeah, I mean it's not bad. But if Cedeno has a bad night there are 3 automatic outs in a row in that lineup.

[salukifudd]

It's really unfair that Babe Ruth dug himself out of the grave and is starting in LF again tonight.

[Andy]

Best lineup we could've hoped for under the circumstances, I guess.

 

Let's go get em.

[Derwood]

love me some soto in the 5 hole

[Guest]

Would rather have Cedeño at SS at Theriot at 2B.

[Andy]

It's really unfair that Babe Ruth dug himself out of the grave and is starting in LF again tonight.

C'mon Truffle. Babe Ruth batted lefty.

 

And in any case he hit far fewer homers off the Cubs than Burrell has.

[C.C.]

Soto one tough dude!

theriot gets on base 1/3 of the time, that's hardly an automatic out. if he's an auto out then it's actually 4 in a row since soriano has an OBP around theriot's.

[Andy]

Soto one tough dude!

Or Lou's completely insane.

 

I guess we'll find out which before too long.
