Yet another totally unique lineup. That makes 44 lineups in 56 games.

erik316wttn · June 6, 2010

Is Lou just drawing names out of a hat at this point?

Fred Hornkohl · June 6, 2010

Last night's 8-5 victory marks........

The first time the CUBS have scored 8 runs in 25 games

The first time the CUBS have made 12 hits in 8 games

This first time the CUBS have hit 2 home runs in 11 games

The first time the CUBS have hit 5 doubles in 26 games

The first time the CUBS have hit 8 doubles in back to back games in 30 games

The first time the CUBS have GIDP'd in 4 games

The first time the CUBS have committed an error in 4 games

The first time the CUBS have turned a double play in back to back to back games in 67 games (last Sept)

What kind of firsts can we pull off today ??

CUBS have not won back to back games in 9 games ??

I thought Lou's catchers weren't allow to play a day after a night game. Geo must be pretty far in Lou's doghouse.

Where did you hear this ?? Soto has done it twice this year.

DiamondMind · June 6, 2010

Hill is the only thing that irritates me about that lineup. Its better, but still doesn't make a ton of sense. Poor Geo.

Hill is the only thing that irritates me about that lineup. Its better, but still doesn't make a ton of sense. Poor Geo.

Hendry could probably get a couple of decent players for Soto. Might as well do it. Lou can't put up with him allowing all these stolen bases. We need Yadier Hill back there. He's thrown out 20% this year. He single handedly shuts down running games. And we all know what he can do with the bat.

June 6, 2010

Len referencing FanGraphs on the air. This is why he's the best.

Sammy Sofa · June 6, 2010

Keppinger doing Wells a huge favor by trying to take 3rd on Fukudome.

Sammy Sofa · June 6, 2010

Wells is dog [expletive]. I'd much rather have seen him go to the bullpen instead of Gorzelanny.

Christ, he's allowed 13 1st inning runs in the 12 1st innings he's pitched in. It's the Cardinals start all over again. Wanna get him out of there, Lou?

Edited June 6, 2010 by Sammy Sofa

June 6, 2010

This ballpark is such a joke, I think I heard Lee's bat crack on that HR.

illiniguy · June 6, 2010

Is there any chance Cashner could be the guy who takes Wells spot?

Sammy Sofa · June 6, 2010

He clearly has nothing. Do the Cubs even have anyone up in the bullpen?

hardcorecubfan · June 6, 2010

This is like "truth or consequence" Would the real Randy Wells please stand up

muntjack · June 6, 2010

Actually wouldn't mind Wells giving up a few more if it meant Cashner could get a few innings.

Sammy Sofa · June 6, 2010

This is like "truth or consequence" Would the real Randy Wells please stand up

It's really not that surprising. As good as he seemed last year he got noticeably worse in the 2nd half.

I think he is just part of the vast conspiracy that is determine to give hope to Cubs fans when it comes to its young player then is dashes your hopes onto the rocky shores of Hopeless Island. (formerly fantasy Island)

Sammy Sofa · June 6, 2010

Was there really any "hope" over Wells in the first place? He kinda just came out of nowhere.

Looking at his FIP Splits it paints the picture that he was awesome in May when he came up, and then pretty much average the remainder of the year. I think we're just seeing a bad stretch from a guy who's a decent starter, which is an unfortunate contrast to his overperformance prior to now.

I need new contacts and my initial vision was blurry, so yes I had some.

True. I don't think he's this bad, but he's definitely nowhere near as good as his inflated reputation from last year suggested.
