[bukie]

The road to mediocrity continues.

 

Hopefully with the use of players who can help the Cubs in the future.

"I'll drink up all the Hennesy you got on your shelf,

So just let me introduce myself,

My name is Humpty, pronounced with an "umpty",

Hey ladies, oh how I like to funk thee,

And all the rappers in the Top 10, please allow me to bump thee."

You really have some high hopes don't you?

[CubfaninCA]

Someone page Mark Prior 2003. 6 innings and 2 to 3 runs just doesn't cut it. :(

Preach it!

 

Hoping for a good outing from Mark.

i think if we've learned anything from this season, it's that patterson's a great choice for leadoff.

 

at least cedeno's out there...i hope he doesn't have a tailing throw to first that costs the cubs the world series...

My thoughts exactly.

 

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a lineup that I really liked. Then again, these days if Murton/Cedeno aren't in it, I don't bother to watch.

 

Thanks for the article today on winning + playing the younger players, Bruce.

[barrettismyidol]

corey's leading off? seriously?

 

 

wow. im pretty sure i'll be missing this game.

[AlwaysaCub]

Well, Derrek Lee is going to be coming up in the first inning with 2 out and nobody on.

[Laura]

Hope Blanco and Prior brought their hitting shoes...

[Mark Priors Calves]

But Patterson is fast and he plays CF, he has to be a good leadoff hitter.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Haha, Corey leading off? Dusty should bat Lee 8th or something.

 

Does Dusty know Walker can lead off?

[Derwood]

Does Dusty know Walker can lead off?

 

I think it's pretty clear he doesn't.

 

And hey, look! He's playing a "young" guy! Scott McClain!

[abuck1220]

Haha, Corey leading off? Dusty should bat Lee 8th or something.

 

Does Dusty know Walker can lead off?

 

he's not fast, and he's not a cf, so he can't hit leadoff. duh.

 

mcclain is brutal at 3b, by the way.

[Illini Iceman]

I predict a 7 run outburst from this train wreck of a lineup. I don't know why, but it always seems to work out that way.

[Derwood]

Today's game not on MLB EI?

[E.J.]

Today's game not on MLB EI?

 

Best news I've heard all day. Guess I won't have to watch the Cubs lose again. And seriously, Corey Patterson leading off? Come on already with this crap.

[abuck1220]

you really do have to be shocked that mcclain gets the call over macias. macias' PT has decreased of late it seems.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Dusty is not good at making lineups. Neifi gets a crucial day of rest after playing 9 consecutive games.

I'm not shocked by anything Dusty does anymore

[Laura]

Dreaded first inning strikes again.

You're going to have to update those of us who have been thwarted by FOX's evil stranglehold on Saturday day game baseball.

[frostwyrm]

I've given up on Murton. He won't get a fair shot to start while Baker is here, he'll just face lefties. I say trade him while his value is high.
