Why does Biggio still lead off for you guys?
.293 OBP and .245 batting average.
That is like Jacque Jones hitting lead off for us.

Roy O should have no problem going through that lineup

I don't even want to watch with that lineup.

Howling Mad · Post #33 » by **Howling Mad** » Wed Aug 8, 2007 11:12 pm

so is the bet on and is it only for this game...

Z vs. O

SportsWorld · Post #34 » by **SportsWorld** » Wed Aug 8, 2007 11:14 pm

Yeah I have confidence in the Cubs tonight. They saw Milwaukee get killed and know a win will again put them in 1st.

He did the same thing on Friday when I went. I just don't understand it. How can we improve our hitting by not practicing?

I feel like punching an infant...THERE IS NO LOGIC IN JONES BATTING 2ND.

DeRosa or Murton are better choices in every measurable way. Or even Fontenot. Hell, put Cliff Floyd there since he has lost all his power.

Robert23 · Post #38 » by **Robert23** » Wed Aug 8, 2007 11:50 pm

Ugh! Is Lou messing with us? Thats the only reason I can think of for this lineup.

I'm really dissapointed either Patterson or Pie aren't starting. This is the first game in awhile where I can actually sit and enjoy it without distractions (those being getting really drunk, or having to entertain the girlfriend).

Pie better be brought in later.

oh good....kendall might be batting second in the near future
