Game situation
Man on 1st, 2 outs, Dome up
Top 4, 3-2 Cubs

man
can’t remember the last time Fontenot even hit a ball hard. Lots of popups and soft choppers. What in the heck happened to him
He was forced to play 3B
and had to focus on his fielding rather than his hitting.
Either that, or last year was a fluke, but let’s not say that just yet.

Good afternoon, Cubs Fans!
I hear we found a stache of previously undiscovered bats today.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
We're hoping its just a clue as to wear the jackpot is hidden

we don’t make the playoffs if we can figure out to hit with RISP. We aren’t, and we’re in third. If we do, we’ll be OK.

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter.

This is the kind of fan I am.

He really needs to go back to the bench...
or another team preferably…enjoyed the My Boys appearance but .224 dude
I have been rooting for him all year
Sad to see him playing so bad.
Fontenot is not a good player
He is not an everyday player…there are so many more better 2b in this league its unreal…
Glad we leaned on him and his salary
to make DeRosa expendable. And please…money is no issue with this team.
The point is that he doesn't make much money
so it doesn’t hurt as much that he’s sucking. Soriano, Bradley, etc. on the other hand…
contrary to what you think
a player’s salary does not actually affect the wins and losses. If a starter on this team is as bad as he is, it doesn’t matter what he’s making
by WanderingWanderer on Jun 25, 2009 1:51 PM CDT up reply actions
Contrary to what you think
I don’t think that Fontenot is as bad a player as we’ve seen. And at the very least he can go back to the bench if he isn’t ready to play everyday. There’s no reason to get rid of him.
Jake Fox can play third
Fontenot can go back to what he’s good at: coming off the bench and spot-starting.

I hvae a problem...
with today’s lineup. Soto has a real nice game yesterday and today we get Hill. Bradley isn’t going to get any better sitting this one out. He atleast works a damn count and will draw a walk.
Its sad but true, Aramis coming back really isn’t goin to make that big of a difference. Surely, it will help some, and he’s a welcome addition, however inserting him in the lineup isn’t going to force guys like Fontenot and Miles to hit. Even if he comes back to a somewhat normal version of Aramis, he’ll never get pitched to.
Guys are just wasting at bats. I’ve been watching on gamecast here at work, and it its anywhere close to accurate, they’re throwing away 2-0 counts like Cedeno Cubs jerseys. They’re getting up 2-0, and swining at the next pitch even if its a nice 2-0 pitcher’s spot on a corner, down.
This may draw some poor responses but if I were Lou, I would order everyone not named Fox or Lee to take until they get a strike. They drew one God damn walk off that thing on the mound from Detroit. I’m serious. I really would. The bottom line here is something needs to change. Something needs to happen. Lou can’t sit there tuggin’ his jock anymore just hoping they’ll snap out of it (oh, and taking guys out of the lineup after they have a real nice day at the plate. Atleast DH Soto).
Its funny, you spend most of your life gripping a baseball. And in the end, its almost always the other way around.
