When Samardjiza gets to 2 strikes, he's going to throw a ton of splitters. It's been a great pitch for him so far this year, so the Sox hitters need to get to him before he can utilize that pitch.

There is not a player I can't stand more than Samardzija right now. The ultimate tool bag.

benching the guy who has hit homeruns in consecutive games. Le Sigh

 

There's pinch hitting in NL parks.

Use him for when Russell comes in. If Dolis/Wood come in, let Fukudome face him.

I bet Saturday Konerko sits with Dunn at first. Sunday Dunn will sit vs. the lefty

Okay, taking bets.

 

Who has a better weekend at the plate: Brent Morel or the pitchers?

That would have been a good question for the YNOT game we used to play here

DeJesus RF

Campana CF

Castro SS

LaHair 1B

Soriano LF

Stewart 3B

Castillo C

Barney 2B

(Samardzija P)

 

Soto has a small tear in his knee and will go on the DL after the game. If something happens to Castillo, Darwin Barney is the emergency backup catacher.

I'd die of laughter.

 

If not Paulie I would like to see Dunn hit a Grand Slam. That would make my day if it was off Kerry Wood.

All my Cub fan friends are telling me horror stories about Dunn killing them back in his NL days

1.031 career OPS at Wrigley

Hahaha Cubs fans either want him to start the game or close it.

Whaaaa? They allow pinch hitting in the NL?

 

I would rather Viciedo get the ABs than Rios or Morel even, but whatever

 

DEFEND IT.

I hope Samardzija takes a line drive off the skull today. No one disrespects the Hawk.

Oh God, his comments were hilarious and dead-on.

rofl ya weird:

 

***Updated 9:50 a.m.: Reports say Wood wants to pitch one last game with the Cubs. His last MLB appearance could be today, Saturday, or Sunday.

I truly hope he gets out there today and gets smoked.

Morel late scratch. Viciedo Escobar to play 3rd

Samardzija's been surprisingly good this season. 2.5 FIP to go with that low ERA.

Wish they would just DL Morel, or send him down.

Dunn has 25 HR in 69 career games at Wrigley.

Samaragfaja talking s***? This will not end well for that idiot.

Wind blowing in or out?

I worry about Dunn getting hurt playing the outfield
