Haha. Meet your new starting CF Jose Macias!!!!

 

:puke:

[otis89]

Macias, CF .296

 

That little something or other is only a hit or two away from .300? :shock:

[Buford T Justice]

I dont mind him playing infield however he's horrid in center..Remember last year he dropped the ball against the Braves.

[E.J.]

Macias, CF .296

 

That little something or other is only a hit or two away from .300? :shock:

 

Too bad his OBP is only .010 higher.

[Buford T Justice]

I will say this Macias has hit when plays a full game..Now of the bench is where we have problems..

[UMFan83]

Somewhere, Matt Murton's mother is sobbing quietly.

[E.J.]

Still a pretty solid lineup though. Let's go Cubs!!!!

[badger1679666666]

I called this lineup in the transaction thread. This was NOT one of the lineups I proposed, but it was the exact one I said dusty would do.

[Flames24Rulz]

can someone tell me what is the freakin point of keeping Cedeno on the big league team?

[ltb]

great, macias is our new starting cf.

 

i hate dusty more than any other person in the world.

[frostwyrm]

Somewhere, Matt Murton's mother is sobbing quietly.

 

Yeah, barring injuries I think Murton's season is pretty much over. Damn shame.

[frostwyrm]

can someone tell me what is the freakin point of keeping Cedeno on the big league team?

 

They didn't send him down? I just assumed he was leaving for Iowa tonight.

[NewUserName]

Jose Macias gives us the best chance of winning? I am in search of a new team until Dusty is fired. What was so bad about Jim Riggleman anyway?

[woodprior04]

can someone tell me what is the freakin point of keeping Cedeno on the big league team?

 

No. The only time I can see Dusty using him is for pinch running. Him and Murton should be sent down and as far away from Dusty as possible.

Unfortunately the Cubs rarely do what they should do.

it's ok

jose macias is the center fielder of the future

[Brian]

Ok I've busted out my secret weapon: A) Nomar Garciaparra Cubs Jersey T-Shirt B) Believe bracelet C) Cubs Batting Practice cap.

 

It worked rather well opening day!

[frostwyrm]

Counting tonight's game Cedeno has been on the big league roster for 57 games and has 10 starts. He couldn't get starts even with Nomar gone, so now that Nomar is back it's just baffling that he is still here.

[Blueheart05]

Somewhere, Matt Murton's mother is sobbing quietly.

 

As fans we are disappointed because we don't get to see him play everyday but don't fool yourself, I think Matt Murton and his mom are both happy for the bragging rights (of being a Major League player) and the raise in pay he gets playing for the Cubs. Playing everyday is fine but there's also knowlege to be gleaned through living the life of a major leaguer as well as watching and talking to experienced players. I'm also sure Matt doesn't miss those long minor league bus rides when he can travel first class with the Big team...

 

Don't feel sorry for Matt or Ronny. They are happy to be with the Cubs.

The batting practice cap is the greatest hat in the history of hats. I may have to bust it out too.

Actually I do feel sorry for Ronny. The Cubs are doing their best to screw up his career.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Macias in CF...man I just can't stand Dusty. Wouldn't it be better to move Burnitz to center and put Murton in at left?

 

I don't think the Dusty era can end soon enough for me.

[Chris]

Tough deal for Murton. If Matt plays terrible since the callup I can see it. However, he swings a hot bat and still gets benched so Macias can play CF.

No, screwing up Cedeno's career is just a side benefit. What they are really trying to do is tick you off.
