nor mine

drewishdrewid - April 7, 2009 reply

Mine still are. Weird.

Mine, too

It’s weird

chitownhawkeye - April 7, 2009 reply

That's really weird.

I didn’t center everything, and mine looks normal. Let me check into this.

Mine are too.

cubs2k8isnxtyear - April 7, 2009 reply

It should be fixed now.

I had an unclosed <center> tag. Reload the page and it should be fine.

Lineup via Twittermyer:

1. Soriano
2. Theriot
3. Lee
4. Bradley
5. Ramirez
6. Johnson
7. Soto
8. Fontenot
9. Dempster

Have fun, Wandy. Interesting that Lou is sticking with LBR vs. a LHP.

I was wondering the same

why no Miles tonight?

Maybe Lou really is giving Fontenot a shot as the everyday second baseman.

Oh, and I got another tweet from Gordo saying that Milton Bradley’s ankle is fine.

I hope so.

I, for one, would like to see how he does vs LHP on a regular basis.

DMCub - April 7, 2009 reply

Small sample size alert!

Fontenot went .333/.417/.476 in 25 plate appearances against lefties last year :).

small

is the operative word. Where’s that pic of LBR “high-fiving” Lee?

drewishdrewid - April 7, 2009 reply

I wonder if he

has hit a growth spurt since Reed’s last blog entry?

DMCub - April 7, 2009 reply

This isn't it

but it is similar, the picture is too big to post, but here’s the link

not a new window, sorry, forgot to check the box

Here it is.

haha

That is too funny.

sue369 - April 7, 2009 reply

Lou goes with the hot hand.............

3 hits last night

Clutche - April 7, 2009 reply

I should make a fanspost..."How long should Lou play Fontenot against LHP"?

Here's your answer.

Every day except for occasional rest. Miles is a backup.

This.

CubsBullsBears - April 7, 2009 reply

hopefully

Font plays well enough where this can actually be the plan

Im thinking

an opposite field bomb from LBR tonight. Waiting on an off speed pitch and puting it in the Crawford Boxes

Soriano

Swings at first pitch tonight? or is patient?

IvyOnTheWall - April 7, 2009 reply

if its a fastball i hope he does swing at it.

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 7, 2009 reply

c'mon wandy

prove you’re man enough

to throw fonzie a fastball inner half, thigh high

Off to 4H everyone

Hope you’re singing a certain Goodman song when I get home!!!

halfblindcubbiegirl - April 7, 2009 reply

you mean

this one

cubsluver22 - April 7, 2009 reply

Have fun!

rokkin!

WGN, BABY!!!! THE WAY BASEBALL SHOULD BE.

Except in the daytime.

See you all tonight!

drewishdrewid - April 7, 2009 reply

not worth a fanpost, so....

how are we on PTBNL pendings?

one for roquet coming in (from A’s)

one other I’m forgetting at least

any we owe?

One for Hill, right?

redward - April 7, 2009 reply

yeah, that's the one

i’d expect the one from ballymore to be more promising

Lets win #2

problem is...

Ive tried the sites to get me around but theyre blocked too.

Although Al did assure me mobile posting is on its way.

Don't you know anyone in the IT department?

Yeah

can’t you engineer a firewall exception for this website?

Technically I am IT

but the IT dept is about 200 employees and its very corporate

I don't know when mobile posting will be available.

But I do know they are working on it. As soon as it IS available, I will let everyone know.

Youre the man!

Guess you are just going to have to take a leave of absence

until BCB has gets the Mobil update

....cant happen!

Love these 7pm games

Just file a TPS report requesting your IP adress be allowed to access SBNation sites.

and don’t forget the cover sheet!

Alright off to try and get in shape

78 mins to game time.

Light Em Up!

Ryan Dempster looks like he took a Glamour Shot for his picture this year.

I’ll be back around 7 for ROLL CALL.

Dan

Sure, Bradley's ankle is fine....

…but how’s the rest of his body? :)

Looks like he kept

his eyes on the ball at least

Pregame Quiz: What's wrong with this picture?

There's no naked women in it.

Ok, what TWO things are wrong with this picture...

It's Aramis Ramirez!

Oh, wait. This wasn’t “Name That Cub”?

I think it's Neifi.

Look at the Cub on his uniform...

Underage Cub?

Too young to exploit?

what about it?

Compare it to this...

The Cub is at the wrong angle, I get it.

But our imaginations are more fun.

No, that's not it....but I do appreciate the imagination...lol

White background vs. blue background

Weird.

Bingo

Were both of those pics taken last night?

or did they tweak the blue unis a little this year?

The first is one taken at a TV screen

You can sort of see it here....(big picture, but since it's a pregame thread)

I guess what I'm asking...

is did A-Ram have a different uni on then the rest of the team? or did the blue unis change for the whole team this year?

I don't see any difference in that one from the ones everyone else was wearing last night.

the white field above the bear should be blue...

someone didn’t completely cut out the decal before they sewed it onto the jersey.

So it must just be a team-wide change.

To be honest, don’t really like it. But it’s too subtle to really bother me.

This feels like a spring training conversation. Anybody with me?

(crickets)

carmen_fanzone - April 9, 2009 reply

His tounge?

No necklace?

I can't find his left thumb.

It's sticking out slightly

between the middle and ring fingers on his left hand

He's thinking about cockfighting instead of the pitcher's release point.

He's up to bat rather than watching the ball sail over the fence.

He needs to keep his elbow up.

The person in Section 133 Row H Seat 4

The color of their shirt has been altered from teal blue to sky blue

the cubbie bear is crooked

china423 - April 7, 2009 reply

only because of how the jersey is folded over itself a bit...

If you’re wearing a shirt with a breast pocket…take that same batting stance…you see that the “pucker” and “twist” will cause the pocket to appear crooked.

Man, is it game time yet??

And do you have play recital tonight?

I do have rehersal....

come on day games! Mon, Tues, and Thurs nights are shot for me until May.

I'm ready for some more baseball

Extremely happy to see Reed in the game tonight.

Why Milwaukee won't be as good

Jeff Suppan is their opening day starter. They’re hanging in though, as Tim Lincecum isn’t having his best outing.
Gameday

I just don't get the Brewers being picked 2nd by a lot of people...

I think they could be 4th, 5th or even 6th if the Pirates can somehow improve enough. Sure they have Braun and Fielder, but you can’t outslug everyone 11-9 every night.

yeah

they really are not a good team. still good offense but the starting is a weak. Yeah Gallardo will be awesome and probably Parra but its still pretty bad starting pitching. the bullpen is still a problem from last year too. and although Hoffman bounced back last year from his rough start, i still see him as greatly declined and over the hill.

Yeah, I mean...

6th is probably a stretch. But take Braun or Fielder out of that lineup, and even their offense is mediocre at best.

They were 3rd in the NL in scoring last year.

but no cc this year

heh, i crack me up

also no more laporta for us to deal with for years

Wait. That's completely wrong. They were THIRD in HR, but SEVENTH in R. Sorry.

I read a lot of stats and apparently haven’t memorized them all.

dont get on base enough either

TWSS

phone guy come?

Madison Cub Fan - April 7, 2009 reply

bengie molina homers

giants 8 brewers 5

Bobby Howry coming in to pitch the 8th...for the Giants

as soon as the Giants finish batting in the bottom of the 7th.

I feel much better typing, “…for the Giants.”

I do not wish Howry bad, in fact I hope he gets his head on straight. I just can’t take any more of what he brought to the Cubs.

LAcarl519 - April 7, 2009 reply

now that he is on the Giants, he needs a

Barry Bonds fathead and a new “SF” cap.

LAcarl519 - April 7, 2009 reply

strikes out the side

but put on two in the process

giants 9-5

Its a half hour away

…from when I start watching something on my DVR so I can start the game on delay and miss commercials.

You're a stronger man than I...

if I’m forced to watch on a DVR, I can’t resist finding out what the current score is, no matter how hard I try.

....

its not easy. Especially because the guy who lives above me is a huge fan too. Normally if I hear him yell I have no choice but too speed up.

Its tough though

did anyone read that hotdog article?

It should come as no surprise that the Arizona Diamondbacks’ ballpark doesn’t crack the top five when it comes to 2009 projected hot dog sales, not when one of its featured wieners— the 5-foot-long “Arizona Dog” — suffocates beneath a sludgy mess of cheese, chorizo and tortilla chips.

a 5 foot hotdog? i assume that cant be right
