Projected Lineup 8/12/09

by nutdrinkingamp12 on Aug 12, 2009 8:53 AM CDT Comment 66 comments

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.

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4875/batvspit;_ylt=An1iJX80VifZZE8dLHDNAo2FCLcF?year=career&type=Pitching

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

Poll

Koyie Hill needs a nickname. What should it be?

Best backup Catcher in the world

7 votes

Hilly

1 votes

Both these suck so I'll write one in on the comments

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.

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.

Yes, really. It was hung on him by some of his ND buddies.
