4/12 Cubs (Dempster) @ Brewers (Suppan) 7:05 PM ESPN/720

[Cynosure]

Apparently Theriot and Fontenot didn't help the Cubs last year.

[third eye]

There's Theriot's contribution to the SLG end of the ledger. Nice.

[Rob]

It's early, but Theriot is turning on a lot more pitches this year. If he keeps this up, he might develop slightly below average power.

[B]

Theriot is awesome.

[Cynosure]

Theriot = .579 AVG 1.362 OPS

[killthegoat06]

This offense is gonna be scary good

[ChiCubsFan]

This reminds me of Mario Baseball where if you put two characters that liked each other (like Mario and Luigi) next to each other on defense or back to back in the lineup, they played better.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot stole third base

[Tryptamine]

Theriot = .579 AVG 1.362 OPS

 

I can't help but laugh at the thought of Theriot having a 1.362 OPS.

[Fred Hornkohl]

K. Hill grounded out to second, 4-3 , Theriot holding third

[UMFan83]

Geez no Soto until Wednesday.

 

The lineup is going to be like...

 

Soriano

Fukudome

Lee

Ramirez

Fontenot

Theriot

Hill

Gathright

 

or something like that

 

we have an off day tuesday so it's one game

 

Ahh...forgot about that. But the way it's sounding, the off day might be on Monday, not Tuesday. The trib seems to think the game is unlikely

[Cynosure]

What a bunt by Demp! Too bad he's slow as crap.

[Tryptamine]

Really good idea Demp. Fielder snow coned the catch.

[BCVM22]

Somebody check Theriot for steroids.

 

Theroids?

Theroids?

 

Heyyyohhhhh

[Fred Hornkohl]

Weeks singled to center field

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Fukudome was playing awful deep for Rickie Weeks.

 

And why in the world are we seeing old Reds infield footage?

[Hall7810]

Fontenot and Theriot are just working together?

[BCVM22]

And why in the world are we seeing old Reds infield footage?

 

Something about turning the double play.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Counsell singled to right field , Weeks to second

[killthegoat06]

Now infielders are dancing.

[UMFan83]

Rickie Weeks has been a thorn in our side this weekend. I hope this isn't his "breakout year" that everoyne has been predicting for the last few years.

[BCVM22]

Counsell needs one right in the ribs.

[apete6]

Fukudome was playing awful deep for Rickie Weeks.

 

And why in the world are we seeing old Reds infield footage?

 

Why isn't Fuku in RF with Reed in CF?

 

BTW, Braun's undershirt is very homoerotic.
