Call up Fox

 

Please someone pass this along to management...I have been hoping they would do this for the last couple weeks.

[Outshined_One]

We have need of Oddball.

Lee scratched again because of the flu.

 

New lineup:

sori

riot

milt

rejo

soto

hoffp

freel (3b)

miles (2b)

demp

 

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

 

At this point, he may as well pull the Billy Martin pull names out of a hat.

Post Gazette is reporting Marmol is out today and tomorrow, with his wife due.

That's about as sorry a line up i've seen in my 20 plus years of watching the Cubs

[bhogg]

I bet Reed didn't even hit clean up in little league

[cubswin2009]

Ironic that Family Guy is leading-in to Cubs baseball tonight because they're both big jokes.

[Andy]

No problem, it's not like we'll have a lead to protect.

 

So basically we have like a 20 man roster tonight?

[Fred Hornkohl]

As others have pointed out before me,..... this is fugly !!

It's not surprising that half the team is sick. They've been making me sick for a week now.

Maybe Patton will finally pitch since Marmol won't be available. I'm pretty sure Lou would put Harden out there over Patton, though.

I was worried when they let Howry walk, but Heilman has quashed all those fears.

The only thing Im hoping for Heilman is for him to be DFA'd.

We have far more deserving relief pitchers that deserve to be DFA'd besides Heilman. Cotts and Patton come to mind.
