06/23 CUBS (Zambrano) @ Detroit (Jackson) 6:05 CDT, WGN TV

[PrimeTime]

Cubs, please return to how you played against Cleveland. Thank you

[Sammy Sofa]

I'd like for Soriano to be the DH guy the next 6 games. You gotta let him try and hit his way out of this, plus it hopefully helps him ease up on his knee a bit.

From the sound of it, its going to be Lee and Bradley at DH.

plus it hopefully helps him ease up on his knee a bit.

Yeah, it shouldn't be to hard on his knee to swing a few times and walk back to the dugout.

[DiamondMind]

I'd like to see Fukudome leading off, and Soriano dropped really far down in the lineup. Like sixth.

[CyHawk_Cub]

I have the feeling Sori's gonna be trotted out on a wheelchair before he's removed from lead-off beyond a couple games.

Any case you can make for hitting Fukudome & Soriano anywhere other than 7th & 8th right now is just plain lame.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I don't have a great feeling about this one tonight.

[CubmanPi]

I respectfully request that the Cubs immediately cease and desist from all suckage.

That BABIP shows that they have been extremely unlucky and could hit higher than 7th, but OK.

[CubmanPi]

Couldn't a lack of making very good contact also account for a low babip?

[Vanilla Ice]

Yeah, but Fukudome's LD% for the season is over 22%. Now, in the recent stretch it is probably lower, but not low enough to account for that BABIP.

 

Soriano has just been awful

[CyHawk_Cub]

My 10 year-old nephew just told me "The Cubs stink." Prove him wrong guys....

[Derwood]

damn, no HD Cubs feed on EI, just Tigers

[dew1679666265]

Good start by Soriano.

[erik316wttn]

My 10 year-old nephew just told me "The Cubs stink." Prove him wrong guys....

 

He's right.

[CyHawk_Cub]

B2b singles...is this gonna be like last night?

[ctcf]

Oh wow.

 

GET HIM DLEE

[Butterscup1679666578]

How the heck are we gonna F this up?

[CyHawk_Cub]

Great....bases loaded, zero outs

[Little Slide Rooter]

For the love of God and the sake of my sanity, PLEASE capitilize on this.

[illiniguy]

How the heck are we gonna F this up?

K and dp. No problem.

[ctcf]

Gameday has Hoffpauir listed as "Hoffpauir,M". Who the hell else is playing in the majors with that last name?

[CyHawk_Cub]

How the heck are we gonna F this up?

K and dp. No problem.

 

Too easy.....
