04/13 Rockies (Jimenez) @ Cubs (Lilly) ~2:30 PM CDT WGN TV

[Little Slide Rooter]

Has anyone heard if Ramirez back is serious or just a little soreness?

[cubsfan26]

Lineup according to the Sun-Times twitter:

 

Lineup if they play: sori, theriot, fuku (rf), lee, font, johnson (cf), miles (2b), hill, lilly

 

Ramirez out with a sore back, Bradley feels better.

 

I didn't even know Fontenot played 3rd base.

 

He does now.

 

 

He played there all spring, and Lou said he was the primary back up at 3rd. With Bradley, Soto and now Ramirez all day to day I really hope this game gets rainned out. If we play tomorrow Ramirez and Soto might be able to play, and Bradley could maybe be back Wednesday.

Just a little soreness.

It looks like he played 62 games in the minors at 3B, with 9 errors and a fielding percentage of .933. Doesn't exactly fill you up with confidence on a rainy, wet day.

 

I would also replace Reed with Hoffpauir against a righty, and make the lineup like this:

 

Soriano, Fuku, Lee, Hoffpauir, Fontenot, Theriot, Hill, Miles, Lilly

[SouthSideRyan]

We haven't won a game all year in which Aaron Miles has appeared.

It's actually the kind of day where you let Gathright get a start. With the wind howling in, it's a good day to try to generate runs without power.

 

Or not. It would be even better if they just cut him, but whatever.

It's a great day to play 2. Sunny, clear and 75 degrees as I look out my window. Let's get this game in.

CBN has the game time pushed back to 2 p.m.

That clip with Jody Davis, Sutcliffe, Moreland, Durham and some other guy singing, was classic. That's the first time I've ever seen that.

[JWCUB]

Wow, 25 years since that magical '84 team. My first year as a Cubs fan. Then the Padres had to rip my heart out!! :banghead: I still hate the Padres for that.

Thankfully, I was only 3 when that happened. But, I have my 1984. It was in 2003.

Ublado is Spanish for ugly. No, it's true.

 

The Cubs are going to go Ublado on Colorado and score 12 runs today.

 

Go Cubs!

Anyone else getting skilling on a split screen that hides the Chicago part of the weather radar?

[Post Count Padder]

That's an ugly lineup we're trotting out there today. I really wish our bench was better.

[AlwaysaCub]

Question: Who is our backup infielder today? Soriano?

Thanks, Jim

You'd think.

 

Maybe Hoff at 1B. But I don't know of anyone else for the middle INF.

I don't know. A bench of Soto, Ramirez, Bradley, Hoffpauir looks pretty solid.

[Careless]

raining and a windchill of 27. I wouldn't want to swing a bat.

He seemed too tall to be Cey. Maybe it was.
