Post your favorite Cubs forfeit lineup of the last few years

I like this lineup we rolled out on 7/7/2005 against the Braves:

 

Hairston CF

Perez 2B

Ramirez 3B

Dubois LF

Burnitz RF

Walker 1B

Cedeno SS

Blanco C

Prior P

 

How did we do? We lost 6-0 on a 3 hit, 100 pitch, CG shutout by Horacio Ramirez.

 

Fun times.

To Dusty's credit, this was one of the games of a DH wasn't it?

Yup, we beat Brandon Webb in a 6-2 win with that lineup and Jason Marquis on the mound.

Mike Fontenot hitting third is pretty hilarious.

[Derwood]

these are pretty weak forfeit lineups if the team kept winning

[Careless]

What I'm taking from this is that our lineup and roster are a lot better this year than it has been

[SouthSideRyan]

How bout a forfeit lineup with a DH. Added OBPs just for fun.

 

J Pierre CF (289)

F Bynum LF (289)

A Ramirez 3B (314)

P Nevin 1B (316)

J Jones RF (323)

J Mabry DH (295)

R Cedeno SS (304)

T Womack 2B (342)

H Blanco C (282)

The Cubs have been decent over the last few years:

Doug Jennings leading off, Brant Brown hitting cleanup, Cairo coming in for Ryno, Dave Hansen hitting 5th, then a soon to be converted P, Manny Alexander, and Tyler Houston. Grace did stick the whole game through.

[Brian]

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I liked the time when David Weather got an emergency start for the Marlins during the hurricane fiasco and beat the real lineup in game 1, while the forfeit lineup beat Carl Pavano in his Cy Young caliber year in game 2.

[AllStarMe]

It took 17 innings, but the Cubs won despite this starting lineup vs the Brewers five years ago yesterday on 5/15/03.

 

Goodwin CF

A Gonz SS

O'Leary RF

Alou LF

Karros 1B

L Harris 3B

R Martinez 2B

Miller C

 

That's a pretty sorry starting 1-8. Cubs batters including pinch hitters had 14 K to only 3 BB, and a dismal 12 for 62 at the plate.

 

The final runs were surrendered by former Cubs OF prospect-turned-pitcher, Brooks Kieschnick on a homer to Corey Patterson, his last of 5 ABs after PHing for Wood. Great duel between Kerry and Sheets.

Robin Jennings. He was once a top Cubs prospect. Good times.

[Roast]

 

Yep, the 2nd game had this lineup:

Perez SS

Macias 2B

Walker 1B

 

Oh my god. When that's your top 3 you know it's going to be a bad day.

 

Holy crap.

[Bull]

Basically any lineup with Macias and Neifi 1-2 and blanco behind the dish.

Five years ago the Brewers were fielding forfeit lineups every day.

[jersey cubs fan]

The mid-90's Cubs and 2005/2006 Cubs were basically forfeit lineups by opening day.

I'm so glad that's over with. Gollie, that was just brutal.

Was that the game where Wellemeyer got the save in his ML debut?
