5/30 Lineup & Ramirez
Aramis Ramirez was in the Cubs lineup Sunday, ready to test some changes made to his bat and to his grip. He’s been bothered by a sore left thumb.
Here’s the lineup:
RF Fukudome
2B Theriot
1B Lee
3B Ramirez
CF Byrd
LF Soriano
C Soto
SS Castro
P Dempster

Lou is senile. Since when do you ever put your worst hitters in the 3 & 4 spots of the lineup?
We have a 3rd baseman at AAA batting .424, a third baseman batting over .310 on the roster and what does Lou-seless do? Stick with Ramirez.
Saturday was a great win; we won 2 of 3 against the Dodgers… what was the connection? Ramirez wasn’t on the team.
If Lou is too clueless to see the obvious, it is time to get him out – and Hendry too.
Many of us pay a lot of money to follow the Cubs – in my case I flew from UK this weekend to watch this shower… but for the mistakes of Lou and Hendry this team could be topping the NL Central.
I would happily follow the Cubs anywhere, but to be watching the managemenrt bereft of any ideas and “”what do you do…?” Lou” is just painful.
As long as they pick Ramirez we will plummet down the log.
Bring up Tracy and Snyder and send down Ramirez and Baker while this can still be rescued. If the Ricketts family have any balls they need to rid us of the ulcer that is Hendry and Lou now.
