Wow, I certainly hope Fontenot can reclaim his bat and that Pie can hit, cause otherwise that's going to be a fun bottom of the lineup. Oh well, good defense anyway!

I don't care if Fontenot finds his bat or not, that is the least important guy for us to do well in that lineup.

Well Chad, I think it's vitally important that the bottom 4 people in our lineup do well. We simply cannot do well with 4 automatic outs.

I'm not sure it matters where you hit them in order, automatic outs are automatic outs. Actually, I think it would serve you better to get your automatic outs as far away from the guys who are hitting well as possible. But that's just my take on it.

What I am saying is that if there is a guy who I hope finds his bat, it's felix pie. His ceiling is so much higher than Fontenot's. That if Fontenot reached his potential, he'd be a nice little player on our team, whereas if Felix reaches his potential, we have another game changing superstar. But I would agree that the odds of Fonty getting his act together and contributing as well as he can is higher than Pie's.

Johann: Wow, I certainly hope Fontenot can reclaim his bat and that Pie can hit, cause otherwise that’s going to be a fun bottom of the lineup. Oh well, good defense anyway! Yeah, otherwise they'll be striking out and grounding out softly the entire game. Wait... that's what they've been doing the last 4 days... :(

Finally! I love this lineup! There is no way we can lose tonight. Murton will go 3-4 with 5 RBI. Pie will knock in Kendall twice as they will hit back-to-back doubles in the 2nd and the 7th innings. C'mon power of positive thinking! ... please...

"I predict a 4 game sweep." -------------------------------------- Nah, the Cubs will probably win 1 game.

Cliff Floyd enters to “The Streetbeater” better known as the theme to? (don’t peek) Sorry, I peeked. But that's awesome.

;)

Boy the Rockies are proving how important defense is in Coors field. Glad we have Pie playing...

Looks like the Cubs slump is over.....I credit myself for adding Jimenez to my fantasy team :)

i've decided to change my name to Ted Lilly...now can I have some run support?

Wow, Len gave Kendalls on base percentage with the Cubs....didn't realize it was that high. 3 hits so far for him tonight too, hopefully he can keep that up.

GO Cubs!!! Gwen Stefani---gayest entrance song ever!!!

Comcast Chicago reporting that Ramirez has "fluid in his wrist" and that the Cubs training staff is attributing it to "the violence of his swing." Comcast says Ramirez will not be going on the DL, but that he is not expected to play until Tuesday.

i think the (strap) will bat second on friday nite. also interesting that lou only used zambrano off of the bench.

That's not a very good diagnosis. Is he going to have to start hitting like Juan Pierre to stay healthy? Now that I think about it, that's worked pretty well for Jacque Jones this season.

so 4 games into our road trip at homer friendly parks and who would be the only cub with homers are new right fielder matthew murton ! and he plays defense ! how can he not start friday

    I worry that Morel will lose starts at 3B as long as this roster lacks a compelling DH.

    I think if you had ranked players by how much the team could ill afford to have them miss significant time, Steele would be right at the top of the list.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

  • Eric S (view)

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it). 

  • crunch (view)

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

  • crunch (view)

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.
