Is Brady dead or something?

[lcbj68c]

You would think it would be hard to showcase him for a trade when he's on the bench. On the other hand, he wasn't called a career 4th OF for ten years for nothing.

[zzzmanwitz]

he's about as useful as a dead person... so i'll say yes.

[saget]

I prefer His Gabeness playing anyways. A game for Hart wouldn't hurt either though

[jason21nl]

if rivera has a bad game, will everyone get on him?

[BrewCityUnit]

No Brady is not dead, Yost is actually managing.

[steve267268]

I personally don't understand the hatred for Clark.

 

He's batting .270 which isn't great but it isn't horrible. It's not really that bad at all.

 

I just don't see why we HAVE to trade him either. What are we really going to get back for him anyway? Wouldn't you want a guy like that to come off the bench? He's be a great guy to pinch hit. Him and Cirillo on the bench is a wonderful thing in my opinion.

[jloos19]

I'm loving the lefty mojo.

Dude's got the worst slugging percentage on the team. If all you're going to be is a singles hitter you better do better than .270.

EDIT- useless

[bullox]

Being a lefty, Jackson is unclean. Let's hope he's filthy tonight.

[Jofis11ep]

No Derek Lee for the Cubs either.....

[tommyboy42609]

this will be a litlte messy but i dont know how to make it any prettier..had to look them all up individually.

 

 

Clark is 4-17 vs Zambrano w/ 4 K's, 5 BB's so that may be why hes not in.....other starters vs Zambrano

 

Weeks 3-11 3 K's

Cirillo 1-3,BB

Jenkins 7-30(1 HR, 2 2B) 8 K's

Lee 11-30 (4 HRs! 11 RBI) 5 K's

Fielder 2-5 2 BB

Hall 5-20(1 2B,2 3B) 10 K's

Gross 1-1, BB

Rivera 0-0

 

 

 

Only Cub hitter with a HR off Jackson is Carlos Zambrano.

[sbrylski]

DID YOU KNOW?

 

Left-handers adjust more readily to seeing underwater.

 

Left-handers excel particularly in tennis, baseball, swimming and fencing.

 

Left-handers usually reach puberty 4 to 5 months after right-handers

 

4 of the 5 original designers of the Macintosh computer were left-handed

No Derek Lee is definitely nice. I'm sure Cub fans will be all over Baker yet again for benching Lee and playing Ramirez after his lack of hustle yesterday.

[berniebrewer4life]

No Lee = Better chance of winning.

I don't think it's a hatred of Clark, as much as newfound love for Gross.He is playing wonderfully right now. I say play the hot hand.

[steve267268]

Hey Russ, what are the probabilities now?

[adamb100]

Jackson is gonna have to put it together if he expects to win.

[adambr2]

Crap, looked like he was going to work out of the leadoff double. Not quite the start we were looking for tonight.

[PeaveyFury]

That Ramirez hit is directly attributable to Daron and Bill talking about how the rest of the Cubs' lineup is heating up but Ramirez isn't.
