lee is making his way toward the mendoza line

0-4 tonight. Might be time to sit him in. Can Nady play first?

 

Uh, Nady's been about as competent with a bat as Lee has. May as well let him play his way out of it. I'd move him down though for the time being...

 

problem is, we keep having to move down our "best hitters" because they aren't hitting.

Thanks to this game being on WCIU, I now know that chicago has television stations called "u" "me" "me2" and "this"

CUBS are 0-0 when they don't get any extra base hits.... 10-10 when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Byrd, Sori, Colvin and Soto are hitting. Any combination of them could bat 3-5 and let Lee and Rami figure things out elsewhere.

Berg has no business on this roster if he's walking guys with this frequency.
