Nats Broadcasts did a big thing about it after his last swing
They mentioned the trainer came out…showed a replay how he had an awkward swing going after a low and away pitch and hurt something. And came out to the field still bothered by it.

Mostly Red Sox fans, and some Yankees and Mets fans. A small handful of Cubs fans, but not much else. There weren’t many Expos fans up here to begin with.

Nope
Even though the farm team was called the Expos even after the team moved to Washington, the Montreal Expos never really had a fan base in Vermont.

do you think the Cubs face pressure to play
Fukudome on the weekends due to Japanese tourists that have booked groups to Wrigley?
…to at least play him one of the two days? Just wondering. I am not sure if there are any big groups that do come to Wrigley, but if a modest sized group does come all the way from Japan, that is not cheap.

I can't imagine
making out his lineup based on something like that. It has to be in his mind, though, that he is an expensive player to stick on the bench.

by mattvegas on Aug 23, 2008 2:26 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm just saying ...
if he was only going to play him one of the three days this weekend, he would choose Saturday or Sunday, if there is nothing special about match ups, to keep the tourists happy.
In the end, the Cubs are a business too. So there is no doubt that he wants to work Kosuke into the lineup as best he can to try to get him out of his slump, but also to try to keep his marketing value high. That is my only point.

Lower back more of a problem
than upper back. Even if Lee misses 3-4 days, so what? He should be good to go after that.
