5/3 Cubs (Lilly) @ Cardinals (Lohse) 2:45pm CDT, FOX/WGN 720

[Roast]

I loved lou for quite a while. But he's really starting to piss me off.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Check out the transaction board for some shocking news

 

You scared me there. I was expecting Cubs place 3B Aramis Ramirez on the 15 day DL, Recall IF Eric Patterson from AAA Iowa.

 

Yeah, nothing shocking about the real transaction. Im asuming they intend on starting Gallagher, or else they would have brought up Cotts or Ascenio if they needed a reliever.

[17 Seconds]

Cedeno still not in the lineup? Are you [expletive] kidding me Lou? Seriously?

 

And Fontenot is batting ahead of Soto. Jesus

[SouthSideRyan]

I liked Lou for the last half of last year. I was even able to look past Soto rotting in AAA. He's just gotten so Dusty-like this year, it's killing me.

 

The reason I'm so pissed off about his managing this year is because of how high he built up my expectations of him. Coming back to 2006 level managing is crushing me inside.

Lou is just doing his part to make sure his buddy TLR stays in this race the entire year.

It's still possible that they have brought up Gallagher for a couple of days to eat some innings for a tired pen, then they'll shuttle him right back down. Just a lot of ways they can go right now, and it might depend on how deep Lilly and Marquis can go in the next couple of days to determine who is going to start. I'm not sure we can infer anything at this point.

[17 Seconds]

What's worse... not playing Cedeno, or hitting no tool Fonenot ahead of Soto?

[SouthSideRyan]

Bruce Miles confirms Gallagher brought up to go carry the gum and candy to the pen and not much else.

 

Well, he didn't actually say that, just Lieber to the rotation, Gallagher to be long man.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I honestly don't think this team wants to win. I'm honestly not sure I want them to win if they are going to be this stupid.

[illiniguy]

Of course we aren't going to start Gallagher. Whatever the proper way to handle a situation is just expect the Cubs to do it the other way. Unreal. Marquis and Dempster slide by with their mediocrity, yet we can't give Gallagher a few sterts.

[17 Seconds]

Is anyone else entirely confident that we're going to get swept this series?

I bet we win one. Maybe.

[Derwood]

If Cedeno isn't in today's starting lineup, sans Ramirez, I might just actually cry.

 

get your tissues ready. i see no way it won't be DeRosa at 3rd, Theriot at SS and Fontenot at 2B

 

i hate being right

[illiniguy]

Lou is such a phony and liar too. I gotta try and think of other ways to get Ronny in the game. Hey here's one shot that came up. Freaking joke.

[Soul]

We're gonna get swept.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We might lose the next two. We might win the next two.

 

But in the long run, stupid is stupid and it will catch up to them.

We're gonna get swept.

 

By a team with exactly one legitimate hitter in their lineup, unbelievable.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Apparently the number of consecutive plate appearances without being retired needed to get Cedeno in the lineup is greater than 5. Unreal. And Gallagher to the pen? Just call up Cotts or Pignatiello and move Marshall to long relief.

[JoshiQ]

Alrighty, game time!

See your thinking smart. Smoke a little Opium then try again.

Yes, this. :x

 

Why does Lou refuse to start Ronny? Mind-boggling...

[Keener98]

Screw you Lou freaking Piniella. For the love of Jesus Christ, why in the hell is Ronny Cedeno not playing? Seriuosly you lieing piece of trash Lou, GO TO HELL.

Eh, Lee could win one game on his own.

[nilodnayr]

Is it just me or does Karros look younger every year?

[illiniguy]

Great Buck and McCarver.
