8/29 Dodgers (Houlton) vs. Cubs (Williams), 7:05pm CSN, ESPN

[Derwood]

final score: LA 6 - Chi 1

 

How does that happen? A Derrek Lee homer?

 

Nope. Umpires spot the Cubs 2 runs to start the game, but Macias runs the base paths backwards for a -1 run scoring inside the park homer

Wow, LA has some sucktacular lineups tonight! Ricky Ledee (of the .673 OPS) batting clean up? Jee-Zus!

 

That happens when two of your #3 hitters are injured and out (Drew and Bradley).

no, burnitz will double and then neifi will hit a single...this will in turn keep neifi in the lineup.

The Dodgers AA franchise (Jacksonville) could probably beat the Dodgers big league team with ease right now. :?

nice jump holly :roll:

Hey, I'm glad to see Ronny Cedeno was rewarded for his big game yesterday by grabbing some pine tonight in favor of Neifi Perez. Why won't MacPhail save us this frustration and just fire Baker's sorry butt? I mean honestly, this is too much.

Have to agree with ya there. And this isn't looking like a good inning here for williams.

[bobbyd20]

How does Barrett move from the 4 spot a couple of days ago to the 8 spot today? How is it possible for Barrett to ever hit behind Hollandsworth and Neifi? And where is Cedano? A lot of good that 2 for 4 did him yesterday.

 

The more and more I watch these lineups, the less of a clue I realize Dusty has. I was at least hoping he would make a couple of quality moves this series so that they Dodgers would be impressed and take him with them when they leave.

only a cubs fan could be so optimistic

[Omar]

Doesnt anybody want to get their post count up :lol: ?

[Flames24Rulz]

great game tonight :roll:

 

Dustbag might bring Wood in for the 3rd inning, and unfortunately, i'm being serious :x

[eburgcub]

:x Wow. that's all I've got. Wow.

[circlechange]

Why pull Williams there? He settled down a bit, got a couple easy grounders. Instead we're going to use 6 pitchers in this game.

[J.R.]

Dusty has destroyed this franchise. Just as we were getting off the mat ... the dude defecates all over our lives.

[eburgcub]

Hey, it's a Welly sighting. :shock: :shock:

 

and he still isn't very good.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS haven't given up 6 runs in one inning since Mon 15 Aug @ Houston.

[Blueheart05]

Wellemeyer is the walk machine :roll:

Woo Hoo! Here comes the comeback!

Didn't Burnitz say he was going to hit 80 or 90 HRs this year? It's gonna be a heck of a September!
