but I'm rooting for the forfeit lineup to erupt for about 8-9 runs today!

 

that made me laugh...in fact, i'm going to use "forfeit lineup" on a daily basis. as in "that's a forfeit lineup you've got on"

Braun and fielder are the only two starters on the team that have been hitting well lately, so not like its much more of a forfeit than any other lineup.

This lineup bears a striking resemblance to the one the Bucks put out trying to "win" the #1 pick.

 

I guess Ned figures why show off when Yo will probably throw a shutout.

Things can't get any better for the Cubs.

 

Soriano leads off with a double, then he scores when Theriot lays down a sac bunt and the pitcher threw the ball away. Methinks their opponents are getting paid to lose.

You might be on to something. Three errors in the first inning for the Giants. Wow.

I guess I just don't get the bashing of today's lineup. It's a day game after a night game; team has some injuries; we're going against a pitcher with a 4.61 ERA; we have our hottest starting pitching on the mound; and baseball players are not robots, most need a game off here and there.

 

No team in baseball puts their "ideal" line-up out there every day. Deal with it.

I don't think anybody is bashing the line-up, per se. Nobody is specifically saying that any of the regulars shouldn't be on the bench right now. We're just confident enough that we'll win with this lineup...actually, it's been years we can put this sort of lineup out there and still believe we'll win...so we make light of it.
