!!!!!!!! adam dunn and kent mercker on wgn, you know i'll be watching.

[OldHappyCubFan]

The Cubs are gonna get swept badly, because the Cubs can't even score 3 runs.

[Derwood]

The Cubs are gonna get swept badly, because the Cubs can't even score 3 runs.

 

Well, that would put them at 8 straight losses, which would only help the cause for firing Dusty.

[Roast]

Wow. Ya know, this is really sad. I actually do not want to watch any part of this game. at all. I would be content to not see another game this season. I am so sick of this team and its underacheiving.

 

I hope Adam Dunn hits 2000000038 home runs today. And mercker makes a spot start and pitches a perfect game. And big Z points and laughs at baker.

!!!!!!!! adam dunn and kent mercker on wgn, you know i'll be watching.

 

Dunn is gonna tee off tonight.

You could make a case that their past 2 wins were not very legitimate too. If the Cubs dont come back from 1 down in the ninth vs. Arizona, and Ryan Dempster doesnt snap out of it against Philly, the Cubs have lost 10 in a row

My investment in MLB Extra Innings looks more and more foolish each day.

[Flames24Rulz]

Hmmmm, what to do tonight?

 

Cubs game....GTA: San Andreas.....Cubs game.....GTA: San Andreas....

 

Haha. With me it's Cubs game vs. battlefield 2

 

tomorrow, its going to be Cubs games vs. Madden 06 for me.

In that case then I call several of the losses not legitimate because something could have gone right.

I'm sick of all these night games. Seriously, I know most of you probably have jobs, but I am a stay-at-home dad and I like watching the games with my daughter in the afternoons.

Amen, stay at home dad here too. But, ya know, I would rather watch Barney right now than these "hijacked by Dusty" games.

[sandberg23]

I haven't seen a game in what seems like forever. I don't care how bad they are, I'll watch every game I have an opportunity to. And, I have that opportunity tonight.

[OldHappyCubFan]

Lefty's are batting .320 against Williams I think.

 

Which basically means Adam Dunn's gonna hit at LEAST 3 homers tonight.

[Derwood]

This team has inspired me for a new pic in my signature. Ah, how misery can elevate one's Photoshop skills to new heights...

[OldHappyCubFan]

LOL hahaha

[BobRoss139]

I'm hearing that Murton will be in left, Beernutz in center and Lawton in right.....

[Derwood]

I'm hearing that Murton will be in left, Beernutz in center and Lawton in right.....

 

Hearing from where?

Hahhhaa. Now that's a nice sig.

Sorry, it was on the Score.

[CubsHawks25]

Sorry, it was on the Score.

 

 

If you're right and telling the truth, I love you in a manly-man sorta way.

 

If you're not, right or telling the truth, I despise you.

[Derwood]

Sorry, it was on the Score.

 

With a lefty on the mound, Dusty has absolutely no excuse to sit Murton tonight. None. I wouldn't mind seeing him start against righties either, but hey, Murton only batted against lefties in the minors, right? Right?

[CubsHawks25]

Since we *might* FINALLY get the right OF alignment since we acquired Lawton tonight, who wants to bet Perez plays in place of Nomar and/or Macias plays in place of ARam?

 

I know you too well Dusty... when you do something right in one place, you totally screw it up by *ing up somewhere else.

 

Either we're gonna get a lineup like this;

RF Lawton

2B Walker

1B Lee

CF Burnitz

3B Ramirez

C Barrett

LF Murton

SS Nomar

P Williams

 

or this;

RF Lawton

3B Macias

1B Lee

CF Burnitz

C Barrett

SS Perez

2B Walker

LF Murton

P Williams

[Derwood]

I'm guessing we see:

 

1. Lawton - RF

2. Perez - 2B

3. Lee - 1B

4. Barrett - C

5. Nomar - SS

6. Burnitz - CF

7. Murton - LF

8. Macias - 3B

 

 

Ramirez is hurting. They won't admit it, but something is bugging him bad. He looks terrible at the plate, and he grimaces every time he runs. Maybe a night off will do him some good.

[AR-Baseball-Fan]

Like Bob Uecker said in Major League:

 

"Welcome to major league baseball...sort of."

 

BACK UP THE TRUCK! BACK IT UP!

 

 

Turn this place into a parking lot.

 

Don't blame Wrigley Stadium, er Field, for the poor play being performed on it. Wrigley is a true baseball shrine.

[Omar]

1B - Macias

2B - Macias

3B - Macias

SS - Macias

RF - Macias

CF - Macias

RF - Macias

C - Macias

P - Macias

[USSoccer]

1B - Macias

2B - Macias

3B - Macias

SS - Macias

RF - Macias

CF - Macias

RF - Macias

C - Macias

P - Macias

 

Is that like the Moneyball line about 9 Scott Hattebergs being the best lineup in baseball?

 

Would 9 Macias' be the worst?
