Projected Lineup 8/12/09
Okay, so last time I did this it turned into a mad posting of random signs that had nothing to do with baseball, some of which were actually funny.
http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2009/7/20/955512/7-20-09-projected-lineup
Since all Cub players that are curently on the roster absolutely suck against Pedro Martinez, I'm pretty much guessing blindly on this one.
Leading off, playing Shortstop: Ryan Theriot (Riot)
Hitting 2nd, playing Right Field: Milton Bradley (Milt)
The number 3 hitter will be Derrek Lee, playing First Base (D-lee)
Jake Fox will bat cleanup and play the hot corner (Foxy)
Hitting 5th in Center Field: Kosuke Fukudome (Fook)
Hitting 6th in Left Field: Alfonso Soriano (Sori)
Mike Fontenot will play Second Base and bat 7th (Fonty or Little Babe Ruth)
Koyie Hill will have the catching duties and bat 8th (?)
Jeff Samardzija will pitch and bat 9th

We really don't need posts like this.
So I’m going to start the posting of random road signs again.

So, just to confirm, you clearly don't care that:
1) Most of us thought this “topic” was lame the first time and is still lame now?
2) No one is going to take you seriously. Ever.
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

It was around Chicago wasnt it?
I feel like I read an article about how a series of them were hacked and made into zombie things.

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

Nickname for Samardzija (since I can never spell it)
“Notre Dame”… I don’t know …
I tend to mutter “oh god” under my breath when he enters the game… there is a good chance this is the last time I will have to spell it this season – at least as part of a starting rotation – or the bullpen for that matter. I want to be optimistic, but I find it quite difficult. This all depends on the debacle that may (will) unfold tonight.
I admit I got the nickname from my husband who sent me a text while he was out of town last night saying “I thought Notre Dame was starting?” – and yes I know he was the QB for ND…
You spelled it right!
So just keep doin’ that. “Notre Dame” isn’t a bad nickname, but I think “The Shark” has been in place since his college football days or soon thereafter.

That's right...
I forgot about “The Shark”! Thanks for refreshing my memory :-)
Let’s hope he lives up to his nickname tonight!!
Here's why they call him that, too.
Yes, really. It was hung on him by some of his ND buddies.
