Gordo out for back to back games now.

I really believe a month down in Charlotte could do wonders for this guy. People want to b**** about Morel but he's been pretty damn good at making contact and hitting to RF when he's down in the count. The lack of power is unfortunate.

geez ozzie pierre again?

Juan Pierre ranks 9th in MLB in plate appearances. The two lowest WARs of the top 10 in PAs are Austin Jackson (0.9) and Melky Cabrera (1.7). Noodle-armed Pierre is at -1.1, though he somehow improved since his -1.2 a couple days back.

 

PROGRESS!!

What's going on? The great Oz must be mad at this organtation! He's sabotaging us before he moves to S Florida.

It's the old George Costanza-Yankee routine. Try your best to get yourself fired by committing every egregious act you can toward the organization, yet keep your job.

Beckham should be playing.

for some reason I believe we'll win the next 2. also paulie gonna continue his HR streak.

 

And there is no one, not even me, complaining about this.

 

Plus it gives Ozzie his dual slappy guys who can hit from the left side with righties on the mound. Its like a flashback 2003 Marlins-a-poluza. I figured Oz ejaculated when he came up with this lineup. Extra slappy, more bunts and more old timey NL style baseball.

 

 

It's ridiculous to have an AL lineup where four of your nine starters have terrible power. Ozzieball!

Well, yeah, the Cubs aren't very good.

with our records against good and bad teams this year, it is more of a stretch to say we will beat a bad team than a good team.

Cubs lineup against LHP is pretty dangerous with Babe Johnson and Mickey Baker

Nobody wanted to do it today, so I will take care of it.

 

Lets get this party started

 

 

Glad you stepped up to the plate. I will be behind the big screen TV watching WGN tonite

The Sox have lost the first game in both of their previous IL series thus far. Of course, then won the next 2 in both of them. I hope the trend continues.

If it does repeat itself, its kind of a perfect analogy for the way both these teams have done in the past few seasons... Cubs start hot and fade fast, Sox start slow then play catch-up.

The bad thing is they almost never catch-up.

They catch up. They just happen to fade again.

Garza will pitch his ass off.

Matt Garza has been probably the unluckiest pitcher in baseball. His peripherals are sick. I expect him to K at least 10 tonight.

Garza will pitch his ass off.

always a possibility. But when his breaking ball is bad...

Floyd was (maybe he still is) the best pitcher ever in interleague games with a minimum 10 starts, going by ERA.

 

Well, he sucked yesterday, and even though Buehrle is 24-6 lifetime in interleague, I would guess Cubs 7-5 today.
