Hey Chicago Whatta Ya Say!?


Man I love that song! I think if Harry were alive, this season might kill him! I was thinking as down as most of us are about the Cubs right now I'd atleast post a picture of one of my favorite Cub fans to give us something to smile about. Unlike Dell, I am not willing to agree that we leave Soriano in the leadoff spot. He's now 13th on the team in OB %. He leads the team in HRs and RBIs. I'm going to go nuts if I see Fontenot start at 3B vs. a lefty again. He's now 4-33 vs. lefties. Atleast play Fox there. Who cares if he's a liability in the field? Fontenot is far from a great glove there. Fox might actually get a hit! We need to make a trade...NOW! Get us a power hitting CF, a righthanded hitting 2B, or bullpen help. DeRosa might help the 2B and short-term 3B problem. The Indians series: We send out Harden, Lilly, and Wells. That is usually not the problem. This is my proposed lineups and their careers vs. Indians pitchers:

vs. Cliff Lee(L)-please please tell me they aren't going to start Fontenot who is now 4-33 vs. lefties!
