No offense to Roast, but if the Cubs lose this game, I think its time to call the "game thread pimp" out of retirement to get things turned around.

Those are the Cubs walk totals during the losing streak. What the hell happened to this team?

[coldsteel]

Will Jake Fox's batting average overtake the Cubs' team winning percentage?

 

The Cubs will sweep this series so Jake had better keep on mashing.

Anyhow, when you figure it out, give Lou a call so he can tell the boys to knock it off, ok ??

I really hope they give this guy a chance in interleague play. 17 Hrs .423 avg. I cant imagine a sub .500 team keeping a player with those kind of numbers in triple-a for too long.

What's the weather outlook - they gonna get this one in?

Crappy lineup

Lee scratched again because of the flu.

 

New lineup:

That lineup really makes me not want to go.

Yuck. Reed as the "cleanup hitter" and Micah as the 6th hitter? I think Lou is trying to put out a forfeit lineup.

Not a good enough justification to put Reed in a "run producing" spot in the lineup.

What was it, Sunday I think? Two of our three outfielders were batting .185. YIKES!

My bad, my smartass detector is on the fritz right now.

[Laura]

Scales is also unavailable due to flu.

Probably just wore it out over the last week or so. It's been a rough one.

[rynefan]

On another more positive note, I really do have a good feeling about this game.... at the very least, the Riot homer comes into play now.

Are players passin around swine flu?

Hes produced more runs than anyone in over a week, so there you go.
