That was ball four

Theriot had the right idea. If that was a strike, or anywhere near the plate, Lee would have put the bat on it. He was staying out of the double play. Horrible call behind the plate. Umpire was blinded by the fact the catcher stood up to throw to second.

Well

DeRo’s a better LF than Murton (with a much better arm) and a much better 2B than Fontenot. As versatile as he is, the one thing he can’t do is play two positions at the same time.

However...

I would say second base is a more important defensive position than left field.

This way the pitcher’s spot comes up one place earlier as well.

I wonder who the emergency catcher is now that Blanco is out.

Pie's the only player left...

...so you tell me. DeRosa, probably. Maybe Theriot. Or Johnson. Murton has the most catching experience besides our actual catcher, but apparently Lou thinks Murton is the right-handed Daryle Ward.

Cubs need to take a long look in the mirror after this one.

Are you out of your mind?

Don’t give a shit? The chips didnt fall the way they have 15 other times this year. We will get back at them tomorrow. Maybe the fact that we have been in three cities, in three times zones, in three days may have something to do with the bats going a little cold. Not giving a shit is way off.
