Has it been officially announced that Lee is out of tonight's game ? Last I heard was he is "day to day".

[E.J.]

Let's go Cindy, let's go! Let's go Cindy, let's go! Let's go Cindy, let's go! Let's go Cindy, let's go! Let's go Cindy, let's go! Let's go Cindy, let's go!

 

 

Hopefully Tropical Storm Cindy can settle in over northwest Georgia for the next 36 hours or so, and rain out the rest of the Braves series. And then maybe Tropical Storm Dennis can veer a little north, and rain out most of the Marlins series. If they only play two more games before the all star break, than they'll only be able to lose 2 more games.

 

Is it wrong to hope for this? It's probably the best-case-scenario as of right now. :cry:

[Brian]

It's possible but I don't remember a line-up ever coming out this early. I doubt Lee plays today anyways, I'm sure even if he was day-to-day and he felt fine today he'll get to day off just to be on the safe side.

I think they're just guessing what the lineup will be.

That's all I was doing, guessing. Regardless of how serious the injury is, I don't think Lee will play tonight. But, again, just a guess. It will be interesting to see who plays 1B.

It will be either Hollandsworth or Walker

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Neifi and Jose at 1 and 2.

 

All I can do is laugh. Thank goodness I get to work through this game.

 

What did Hairston do to Dusty or Darren to get to sit behind Macias!?

[Flames24Rulz]

oh my god. This might be the first game that i'm home for that i actually won't want to watch.

[otis89]

Why does Dusty hate Hairston? If I was Hairston, I'd be PO'd right now.

[Jon]

A few of things to remember before saying the Cubs will lose tonight:

 

1. Prior

2. Atlanta's B lineup

3. Rain?

the problem with Prior is that Baker will probably only have him throw 6 innings no matter how good he is. i just hope it rains so we don't have to use this stupid stupid stupid lineup.

Atlanta's B lineup? The only major difference I see is their backup cather is playing.

Yeah, that's their B lineup...

[Brian]

God I hope some reporter asks him what in the crap he is thinking, this is almost the worst possible lineup imaginable. :evil:

 

I'm starting to wonder if he doesn't want to be fired, how can you expect succes against an all star with that turd of a lineup. woohooo 7 game loseing streak here we come.

This is just disgusting. Somebody better call Baker out on this garbage he is putting out there. Somebody better call out Hendry on this garbage on the roster they call a baseball team.

[Brian]

I'm calling it right now, Smoltz throws a perfect game.

[Outshined_One]

I thought I was kidding around about Dusty wanting to get fired all those months ago.

 

Oh how right I was.

[Brian]

Jose Macias you strike out with the bases loaded 1 out against a guy with a 6.30 ERA, congratualtions that earns you a spot in the starting lineup batting 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!

[LuckyPup]

I'm calling it right now, Smoltz throws a perfect game.

Smoltzy's line tonight:

 

9IP-0R-0H-0E-94 Pitches-0BB-15 strikeouts.

 

I can't believe this lineup-this is horrible-You would rather play Macias at 2B than Hairston? ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME? AND BAT HIM 2ND! WHAT IS MACIAS' OBP-......091? THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS-SOMEONE HAS TO CALL HIM OUT ON IT-LAUGHABLE-

 

Baker is probably pissed because Jerry said he wanted to play and the papers took it and ran with it and he is making a show of power-this is the stupidest lineup I think i have ever seen-this harkens back to the dare I say it, Lenny Harris days-

[MembersOnlyJacket]

That's just awesome.

 

Hopefully the last two games of this series are rained out.

[rickrolled]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

 

Neifi and Jose Macias, 1 and 2.

 

I repeat, Neifi Perez and Jose Macias are hitting 1 and 2 in our lineup.

 

Neifi: .295 on base percentage

Macias: .280 on base percentage

 

Unbelieveable. Simply unbelieveable.
