MLB: Cubs Lineup Getting Thin

[superdorf]

Got a tweet from Gordon Wittenmyer (Sun Times @cst_cubs)...

Ramirez is day to day with a strain. No DL.

Bradley still day to day, but not playing.

Marmol had an MRI which revealed a "grade 1" strain. Will throw bullpen Monday, possibly midweek return.

This isn't good.

Today we have Fontenot @ 3rd, Reed Johnson in CF, and Miles @ 2b.

Soriano in the 3 hole again today.

I'm really not liking the start to this season.

ditto three fold

Wow... just got another tweet...

Zambrano and Koyie Hill are taking grounders @ 3rd base.

Hill was a VERY GOOD third baseman in college... He didn't start catching untill the minors.

Thanks for that info... I didn't know that.

With our luck Soto will get hurt and Zambrano will end up at third... that would be something.

 

[Dave19642006]

Or Soriano tweeks his calf by doing that stupid jump catch, and then Reed Johnson gets hurt sliding in to a base....Heck lets jut call up Triple A they are winning

I got to watch Koyie develop as a catcher, those first couple of years were tough to take...

Do you know him personally... I was amazed at the story of his recovery from his table saw accident.

If Cub fans haven't heard his story, it is a must read:

I played against him in college and have hung out with him quite a bit. He and my brother came up through the Dodgers organization at the same time/levels.

Better to be hurt now then in September....

 

[chuckd4735]

Cubs are the only team in the MLB with no one on the DL...they are fine!

Lee went out of todays game

Lee went out of todays game

Yeah, D Lee left in the first inning with a neck strain and then Soriano got beaned in the side of the head later in the game. He stayed in the game, though. Yikes...
