4/12 Cubs (Lilly) @ Phillies (Hamels) 6:05 CT WGN

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.

 

Truffle?

Posted the lineups that started the B. Ruth thing.

Are you going to watch hockey or the Cubs? I'm going to constantly be flipping back and forth.

Good news:

 

Soto seems to have passed up DeRosa in the lineup, which should get him a few extra PA this season. Every little bit helps.

 

Judging from the fact that Cedeno is hitting in front of Theriot, Lou seems to realize that Cedeno is a better hittter.

 

Bad news:

 

Murton is in Iowa. That forces DeRosa to play right, which means we have 3 middle infield bats in our lineup (DeRosa, Cedeno, and Theriot).

 

Lou has Theriot at SS instead of Cedeno... which means he still thinks Theriot is a SS, and not a 2B playing SS.

[Roast]

So..what are the chances Lilly doesn't suck.

Cubs when they're on with hockey checks during commercial. Unless the Cubs game goes to hell early which I hope doesn't happen.

About the chance that Scarlett Johansen will come to my door during the game and announce her undying love for me.

Yeah...

Yeah. She's not leaving here anytime soon, so don't hold your breath.

Soriano seems to be seeing the ball better lately. He had some decent contact in that AB that went barely foul.

[Roast]

wow, that ball flew a lot further than it looked like it should have.

[Vanilla Ice]

Dear lord, our lineup sucks

[Vanilla Ice]

WTP

[Outshined_One]

I'll say it.

 

WARNING TRACK POWER!

[Andy]

How'd that ball stay in? Ugh.

[Vanilla Ice]

I'll say it.

 

WARNING TRACK POWER!

 

beat you

[Roast]

That ball is really carrying.

[erik316wttn]

That ball is really carrying.

 

I shudder to think how far it'll go once Burrell hits it.

[Roast]

On the bright side - Hamels threw 17 pitches that inning.

[Outshined_One]

I'll say it.

 

WARNING TRACK POWER!

 

beat you

 

I feel like Brett Myers' wife. :(

[Vanilla Ice]

I'll say it.

[Andy]

CEDENO YOU IDIOT

[erik316wttn]

Haha. Great start Cedeno.

[Roast]

Oh Ronny...

[Vanilla Ice]

that sucks

[illiniguy]

Ronny Cedeno just doesn't want to play.
