Re: 5/5 Cubs (Dempster) vs. Dusty Baker's Reds (Cueto)

[TruffleShuffle]

lou is going with pie against cueto but went with johnson against lohse and welly. maybe he's playing the white-on-white and latin american-on-latin american matchups.

[Roast]

I'm convinced that Cedeno killed lou's puppy or something.

CUBS were 2-1 with Tim Welke behind the plate last year.......

Any word on whether Cedeno's still hitting the town pretty hard?

The only feasible explanation I can think of for why Theriot is in instead of him today.

[C.C.]

Theriot has a .389 OBP, I don't think he is going to be sitting anytime soon.

There's no plausible reason for a 1.000+ OPS riding the pine for over a week, especially since during that time, Soriano and Ramirez have missed time opening up a spot in the lineup.

Yep, but then again there was no reason to have Geo Soto rotting in the minors last year with a huge hole at our catcher spot.

[tfarks]

Well Soto is moved up and Pie is in, I can't complain too much.

[Andy]

Put Dusty Baker's Reds in the

Ugh, I'm in both Cardinal and Red territory according to MLB, so I get to Brantly and Brenneman.

I'm not saying that Lou is making the right move, I'm just pointing out that there is a plausible explanation as to why Theriot hasn't lost his starting job yet. My guess is that if he continues to put up an almost .400 OBP he will remain in the lineup.

[weatherdood]

Please win, you jerks! I'm tired of hating you

[JimSorgi]

Hey Cubs, I would really like it if I didn't have to make a game thread for a few more weeks. So win. plz.

[illiniguy]

Just win.

[CubsGM]

Wow, Soriano saw a ball!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano struck out swinging

[CubsGM]

Great start!

[chuckywang]

Soriano struck out swinging

 

Cueto's good.

[CubsGM]

Soriano struck out swinging

 

Cueto's good.

Or Soriano is bad....

[illiniguy]

Soriano struck out swinging

 

Cueto's good.

He was good his first two starts, he has been pretty bad since.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot called out on strikes

[Careless]

Couple of generous strikes on theriot. And it was inside

[17 Seconds]

If that's a strike all night we have no chance.

[Careless]

Lee and theriot would make an amusing tag-team beating this ump.
