I will gladly eat crow on the platoon topic... most of it stemmed from frustration after sitting through those two disasters vs. the Pirates LHPs live.
I know the Cubs were a lot more talented and the rest of the division was a lot less good, but I want to point out that the 2007 Cubs were 9 games under .500 on June 2nd.
Do you actually try to think up things to say like this? Nothing wrong with platoons in theory but Hairston/Ransom are not cutting it. Also, DeJesus should probably be playing at least some guys for his plate approach alone.
