Yeah, sorry for the craptastic game thread but I just got home and I have to get up to go watch this crapfest of a series again tomorrow. Go Cobs or something.

Simple and to the point.....This offense vs Billingsly could be very very ugly.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Just pu Fox at 3rd. If we have no chance at hitting Billingsly, we may as well.

[kjfoster 1553]

plz win cObs.

[Cynosure]

Lets go COBS I'm picking you for streak for the cash!

[inari]

I'll be at the game. Please win.

[Soul]

I was going to take a trip to Principal Park this year, but why bother? Chicago is much closer.

[badgercub]

Lineups?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Ryan Theriot-SS-Cubs May. 29 - 1:11 pm et

 

Ryan Theriot was held out of Friday's lineup with flu-like symptoms.

 

Andres Blanco will start in his place at shortstop. Keep in mind, however, that Blanco suffers at the plate from Rey Ordonez-like symptoms.

 

gotta love rotoworld.

Puke.

[Sammys Boombox]

Well that looks like a winning lineup...

[Keener98]

Hahaha what a lineup.

[javy knows my name]

That is gross all over

[ctcf]

Vomit.

[Andy]

What a craptastic forfeit lineup. Scales hitting 2nd...I like Bobby but probably not good when you have a 31 year old rookie getting extra ABs.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Weve seen worse lineups.

[laurens]

Weve seen worse lineups.

 

2006 comes to mind

[seattlecub]

anyone know what the wind's like today at wrigley?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Weve seen worse lineups.

 

2006 comes to mind

 

So does 2009. However, I must say if there going to send out a forfeit lineup, may as well put Fox at 3rd. If you're going to lose anyway, I dotn see how a few errors matter.

[Fred Hornkohl]

anyone know what the wind's like today at wrigley?

 

In from CF at 9 mph

[soapy]

it's bad, but i wouldn't call it a forfeit lineup. Fontenot has been warming up (vs. RHP). Scales and Hill have been hot against RHP.

 

Meh...it could be worse.
