OK Lou is just daring the Ricketts to fire him. He says they "don't have the balls."

[Keener98]

LMAO the [expletive] comedy continues. Somebody, anybody, defend the [expletive] idiocy of our manager. The guy is a nutjob.

[NotSoSober]

Holy hell, that is a truly awful lineup. Tracy shouldn't be on the team, let alone batting clean-up.

Well, lemme see here...... ya gotcher cleanup hitter who's only marginally better than yer pitcher..... ya got yer leadoff hitter that's doing his impersonation of Neifi Perez..... ya got yer almost respectable backup left fielder giving up 140 points in OPS to the first string left fielder who's hotter than a 2 dollar pistol and confined to the bench...... ya got yer backup catcher giving up 160 points in OPS to yer starting catcher who's only a pinch hitter tonight....... oops !!! I'm being soooooooo negative.

 

 

Well, I really do like Marlon Byrd hitting 5th !!

 

 

Go CUBS !!!

[PrimeTime]

Tracy hitting cleanup? My God...

LMAO

 

so bench Soriano who is our best hitter right now and hits really well in Milwaukee

 

also, start Koyie Hill and bench Aramis again putting Tracy cleanup

 

got it.

[Little Slide Rooter]

This is one horrible looking lineup. I know its just Jeff Suppan,. but the Brewers offense has been on a hell of a tear. I know its just the Pirates, but damn.

 

Looks like Ole Lous gone right past senility straight to dementia. Next thing you know he'll be biting orderlies because they're stealing his custard. I guess winnings over rated anyway.

[CUBZ99]

Soriano, ARAM and Soto are all pieces of the blockbuster trade Steve Stone was talking about. :^o

WHAT THE CUSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just heard on the ESPN 1000 that Dempster asked to move back to the pen after seeing the lineup that is going to back him up tonight.

 

 

 

(ok I made that up)

Could we hire Bruce Miles as the manager? Please?

What an interesting idea !! I wonder if anybody has ever brought in a media type to manage their ballclub in the past ????

I just saw him on the Lead-Off Man show, and it's surprising how much he says that agrees with what everybody on here says. So if not manager, maybe GM. And it would be cool to have the manager or the GM posting on NSBB. ;)
