Fukudome gets to play but Bradley get benched.

 

Nice.

 

Fuku still has an OBP near .400 and we dont have anyone better to play CF.

 

I wonder what Fontenot has to do to get benched.

 

Have the Cubs sign a good player

And that's why I'd like to see him batting leadoff, or at the minimum #2, so that he at least has a CHANCE to be driven in when he's on base 40% of the time. When he's got Fontenot or Soto or some crap behind him, when he's hitting 6th, he's completely worthless in the lineup.

 

It's "still" that high only because it started off so much higher. He's had a .267 OBP in June.

According to Chris DeLuca of the Chicago Sun-Times, Cubs manager Lou Piniella will sit the struggling Milton Bradley until Saturday.

 

Bradley has no hits and four strikeouts in his last 10 plate appearances and is batting just .241/.360/.386 for the season.

 

Problem is, Bradley really hasnt been struggling lately. He hasnt lived up to expectaions, but hes been doing fine for himself.

He's 0-10 with 4 K's in his last 10 PA

 

In Bradley's last 13 PA's, he has a .538 OBP. I don't get the benching.

How about Hoff? If nothign else, it could be entertaining to watch him lumbering around the infield.

He's stunk all year and hasn't been close to healthy. He has to sit frequently. What is the confusion?

Isn't it because his wrist is sore after making that attempt at a diving catch last night?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Cobs baseball is on the air.

[pitchcs]

Oh my, a double

[Sammy Sofa]

Leadoff double for Sori down the LF line.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Soriano is slowly but surely coming to life, but we have yet to see the mythical creature who can carry the team on his back for weeks at a time, not lately anyway.

[Keener98]

GET HIM IN

[Little Slide Rooter]

According to game day, 1 and 2 to Riot should have been strikes.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Will this be one of those we had the guy on the ropes but couldnt capitilize situations? Stay tuned.

[Sammy Sofa]

Theriot walks.

[Sammy Sofa]

Lee flies out to CF.

[Butterscup1679666578]

we arent scoring

[illiniguy]

Thank God, for a second there I thought we had an extra base hit with guys on.

[jersey cubs fan]

Hoff with another just foul almost HR.

 

Detroit radio people saying Lee's flyout was on a "lazy breaking ball" and that he got himself out there.

[Derwood]

Lilly is the one pitcher the Cubs seem to score runs for, so I feel okay about this game today

[Sammy Sofa]

Hoff strikes out.

[jersey cubs fan]

These Detroit guys are very sympathetic to the Cubs problems.

[Derwood]

let's go f®at boy

[Butterscup1679666578]

FOXY!

 

He's gonna catch one in the earhole later for watching that thing though
