4/15 Dusty Baker's Reds (Harang) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05 CSN

[Roast]

I contemplated going and buying a ticket on the street tonight since I get out of class early enough. I decided against it because I should probably stay home and do homework.

 

 

Radio it is.

In your shoes I'd be buying tickets. Every time. But that's why I'd flunk out of college in Chicago.

Cubs lineup:

 

Soriano

Theriot

Lee

Ramirez

Fukudome

DeRosa

Soto

Pie

Dempster

 

No shocks there. Theriot isn't likely IMO to get out of the 2nd spot very much until Pie either 1) starts hitting, or 2) is replaced.

Damn you riot.

Damn you riot.

I'm about to head down and see about tickets. I know it's first night game and all, but it's still a Tuesday night. Should be plenty.

Best insight ever:

 

According to the female on CSN:

 

Hitting, defense, and pitching win games.

Yeah, that's the only thing that sucks about Pie in the lineup. Also, very minor but is there any reason for Derosa to be ahead of Soto at this point? If DeRo is not going to hit #2, he should be 7. Too bad Soto hasn't shown he's good enough to provide protection for Ramirez or the Cubs could move Fukudome to 2nd.

I wholeheartedly agree with this lineup.

[CubsGM]

3 home runs for Patterson or bust.

[weatherdood]

Only Pittsburgh's bullpen has thrown more innings than ours in the majors... thank goodness for the off day yesterday, because I have a feeling our pen is going to be used a lot the next couple days. Wind should blow out even harder tomorrow.

[Sosa21MVP]

Way to ground out weakly there Corey! =D>

[weatherdood]

1 up, 1 down as cpatt grounds to short.

[weatherdood]

Thanks, Keppinger

[Sosa21MVP]

What is that, 3 pitches on 2 outs? I <3 Dusty.

[E.J.]

With the wind howling out like it is, if Dunn crushes a ball do you think it makes it into Lake Michigan?

[weatherdood]

5 pitch inning!!!

You know it.

[Sosa21MVP]

A 5 pitch first inning for Dempster but Soriano is hurt. :banghead:

[E.J.]

Wow. Great first inning for Demp.

 

Great. Soriano hurt himself hopping. Glad he does that.

[BCVM22]

Are you kidding me? Did Sori just hurt himself doing his little hop?

[salukifudd]

That's why you don't hop like an idiot.
