Hey Dude, Holly needs to stay sharp... :roll:

[gflore34]

Macias leading off? Murton back on the bench despite being on fire? Dusty needs to go immediately. That's a complete joke.

 

Against a RH starter there's no possibility of Murton getting a start. The only way someone besides Hollandsworth starts against a RH starter is if Hendry trades for a proven veteran LF.

 

Whats the over-under on how many men Hollandsworth leaves on base today? I'm setting it at 8.

What I really dont like is that Macias isnt in RF. If you're going to put him in the same line-up as Burnitz, put Jeromy in CF, and Macias in RF.

[LoneStarCubFan]

I think MLB Security needs to look into Dusty's financial situation. He must be throwing games to cover some gambling debts.

 

That's the only thing that makes sense after looking at that line-up.

Hollandsworth career against Tomko.... 3 for 23. That's pretty amazing.

[Chocolate Milk]

Wow.

[otis89]

PUKE!

The failure of this club to recognize that we shouldn't have gone into the year with a 4th OF as our starter in LF will be our downfall if not addressed by the end of this week.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Twice now Murton's gone 4-5 and gotten benched the next game. STOP MAKING SO MANY OUTS.

 

Macias will get 2 hits today, he always does when he starts. That doesn't make playing him and leading him off any less of a joke though. WE WANT JODY!

[barrettismyidol]

April fools? No? Gahhhh!

[JGalt73]

I think this lineup wins for "Worst of the Year". Zambrano should be batting 5th - seriously.

[TuffyRhodes]

It is nice to see Cedeno starting, although I have a feeling Dusty just wants to make sure Neifi is good and rested so when Nomar comes back and Cedeno is sent down, Neifi is ready to play everyday!

[jyoung55]

I hate you Dusty. No really, I hate you.

 

What a joke... do you think we can organize a boycott until Murton gets at least half the starts?

[nick23]

It's sad to say but this lineup makes me not even want to listen to the game. I just don't understand how he continues to put us at a disadvantage every day.

[Coach C]

"I ain't sayin nutthin" Dusty's comment on the booing list.

 

Congratulations Dusty, you just earned yourself the top of my booing list.

[USSoccer]

Here's the deal: If Holla is "protecting" ARam, how is it that any team pitches to Aramis?

[LuckyPup]

I really, seriously, am blown away by this lineup-WTF is going on in Baker's mind? It is staggering really- Why can't Walker leadoff again, Oh I forgot -no speed,

 

Why is Macias playing CF(or playing at all)?

 

Does Baker even know who his players are on his team-has he seen Burny's FP in CF?

 

I just don't get it-it has begun to make me laugh-Hendry needs to do something about this because this guy is going to run both of them out of town-

You have got to be kidding me.

 

I have only one hope. I know it won't happen because of the Cubs-colored glasses and the constant comments about the "great manager Dusty Baker", but what do you think would happen if Ron Santo absolutely flipped out over how incompetent Dusty has been in regards to filling out the lineup card? Do you think tribune Co. would throw him under a bus?

[E.J.]

Murton is 12 for 26 since being called up with a .531 OBP. I'm glad he's sitting on the bench for Holla who's hitting .220 in July. By the way, Holla's OBP is slowing reaching that sub-.300 level. He's at .309 right now. Yeah, that's our starting LF. :wall:

[hawkeyecub]

Why did Greenberg have to get hit in the head?

[otis89]

Guys, you're forgetting that Z is pitching. That makes Dusty think that a solo home run from DLee will be enough offense to win the game.

[sethuel1]

Why did Greenberg have to get hit in the head?

As if this lineup would be any different had Greenberg not gotten hit in the head.
