5/7 Cobs (Lieber) @ Dusty Baker's Reds (Volquez) 11:35AM CSN

[Outshined_One]

Just checked in, and without reading the whole thread, I think everyone is nuts. Obviously I missed something.

 

You missed Adam Dunn, Joey Votto, Paul Bako, and Jerry Hairston hitting home runs in the 2nd inning

 

No I heard those on XM, I didn't know that everyone who has ever played for the Reds went yard as well though.

 

With the way Lieber was pitching, even the fans were itching for a chance to get some ABs against him.

Did Fontenot just replace Cedeno?

 

He replaced Theriot, Cedeno moved to SS.

 

Why was Theriot replaced?

 

Double switch strategy. That and Cedeno is better than Theriot

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Did Fontenot just replace Cedeno?

 

He replaced Theriot, Cedeno moved to SS.

 

Why was Theriot replaced?

 

Would it be too much to hope that Piniella realized who the best player was?

You must be listening to a different game, lol

 

The only real surprises there are Dunn and Votto right? You gotta expect it from the other guys. Oh and someone being on in front of someone else who goes yard? That was weird, too.

[ChiCubsFan]

2nd inning doubleswitches are brilliant.

 

Especially with a small bench!

 

What does it matter if he double switches or not? Either way one of Fontenot or Theriot is out. I guess we're just lucky that Cedeno wasn't hitting 2nd and Theriot was, or Cedeno would be out of the game.

All 12 of them? And 9 of those were Cubs fans...

Dusty is currently contacting the agents of Neifi Perez, Jose Macias, Jason Dubois, Alex Gonzalez, Phil Nevin, David Kelton, Jeromy Burnitz, Damien Miller, and every other out of work piece of crap who played for him with the Cubs.

Theriot was probably taken out because he hasn't had hardly any days off and Lou figured he'd give him one. It makes no difference to me.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm so sick of the "win now with vets" vs. "play kids" false dynamic. Sometimes, the kids are already the best players.

[Guest]

marge schott just conducted a very detailed seance and summoned joseph goebbels from the dead. He hit a homerun, gave a funny look to jason marquis and then went back to hell

 

I like that a dead person conducted the seance.

 

I don't think this one is going to be topped.

 

Ever.

[ChiCubsFan]

Why take out Theriot in the 2nd inning just to complete the freaking double switch?

 

Because he is not significantly better than Fontenot? Seriously...what's the big deal? I'd rather have a Cedeno (SS)/Fontenot (2B) MI than CannonArmTheriot (SS)/Cedeno (2B) MI.

[C.C.]

Good job Marshall. Who would've thought a lefty would be effective against the Reds?!?!

[Outshined_One]

Admittedly, watching the commercial where the guy misses shooting crumpled up pieces of paper into the basket over his garbage is more entertaining hoops than the Celtics-Cavs game last night.

Too young, gotta have the proven vets get time...Dude.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I just talked to my grandmother. Apparently, she just homered off Jon Lieber.

Hamilton Porter from The Sandlot just hit a solo jack

[Guest]

Paul Bako is on pace for 22 HRs this season. And that's without getting 500 AB.

Eat it, Damian Miller!

[gerby23]

Take away Day one & Fuku's numbers aren't very good from the 5 hole. Hear that Lou?

[VanceJergins]

Hopefully they're stretching Marshall out to take Lieber's spot, then Hill will take Marquis spot when he comes back.

[cubbyvirus00]

Man, this entire team is in a crappy slump.

[ChiCubsFan]

I really wish Kosuke wasn't in a mini-slump.
