9/6 Cubs (Rusch) @ Cardinals (Morris) 7:10 CT WGN

[wekse]

2 1/3

[E.J.]

at least hill could get some innings tonight.

 

rusch looks to go to 0-5 since his triumphant return to the rotation.

 

i'll take the under, by the way. rusch blows.

 

Is it wrong to hope Rusch tanks so Hill will get a bunch of innings tonight?

So after tonight Murton will have started 1 of the last 6 games. Does Hendry actually approve of this?

[E.J.]

Haha. I'm glad Murton never gets to play. I know not many players can slide into first base headfirst on a consistent basis like Hairston does, but I think Murton should at least get a shot at it once in a while.

[Chris]

ha ha, worthless lineup.

 

This is going to be the first Cub game I've actually watched a lot of, and that's only because the Jaxx are not playing tonight as they are getting ready for the playoffs.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Dusty is bad at making lineups.

What, you think going 2 for 5 with a HR warrants more playing time? He can't hit for power.

cedeno murton not in, I don't watch. see ya.

The coaches are probably encouraging him to, you know, so he can blow out his shoulder. After all, Macias deserves to play more, dude.

He'll play against Mulder because he has success against the lefties, dude. Ronny will learn from veterans Walker and Hairston how to interpret signs. It's all good. Steve Garvey said so.

[JGalt73]

Murton just needed some time off after those gruelling 26 ABs he got in August.

[frostwyrm]

Murton will NOT start next year. I guarantee it.

[otis89]

Dusty, you are a complete moron. I don't care if this lineup scores 50 runs, and Neifi and Patterson each go 5 for 5 with 5 grand slams. That sill doesn't justify not playing Murton and Cedeno when you are out of contention. I repeat, Dusty, you are a complete moron. :evil:

Lmfao, sooooooooooo true.

[Brian]

:( :(

[halplm]

but neifi has to get enough plate appearances so that it doesn't look completely like he was playing him enough for his incentives to kick in...

[Laura]

cedeno murton not in, I don't watch. see ya.

 

ditto

[UK1679666180]

I feel like this lineup validates my existence as a Cubs fan.

 

Dusty, as a Cubs fan, I have been a bad boy as this lineup tonight and well as 99% of the lineups over the last 3 years were owed to me. Have we all been behaving badly?

[Mizzou]

Does this mean that I might get to see Murton play tomorrow?

 

 

 

Nah, probably not.

[NewUserName]

Funny how the first place team has a rookie batting Cleanup.

[E.J.]

Agreed. Not worth watching. Have a good night all.

[Brian]

crappy SP, crappy lineup yeah I got better things to do.

[JGalt73]

Smoltz vs. Pedro's on soon...

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Smoltz vs. Pedro's on soon...

 

Pedro needs to get rocked, I'm facing him in my fantasy league's playoffs.
