2/28 Cubs lineup – UPDATED
Scott Feldman will make his Cubs debut on Thursday when they play host to the Athletics at HoHoKam Stadium. Starlin Castro was scheduled to start at shortstop but that was before he had to leave Wednesday’s game with some tightness in his hamstring. Here’s an updated lineup. Javier Baez will start at short:
Sappelt CF
Barney 2B
Hairston DH
McDonald RF
Soler LF
Navarro C
Baez SS
Lillibridge 1B
Lake 3B

Soler in LF…sounds even BETTER than Soriano DH…
Haha! To you anything sounds better then Soriano in LF! >.<
Isabel in LF…sounds even even BETTER BETTER than Sorano DH….
how about a bucket of BP-balls in LF (the BP-balls we receive in a trade for Soriano)
Joey you’re right, Isabel in LF does sound better!
haha, but I’m a catcher not outfielder! Haha
No no no – Isabel has to be the cheerleader with 2 pompoms!!! One for Barney and one for Baez! Go Isabel!!!!!
Yes, yes. Maybe 3. Two for BARNEY, one for Baez.(: haha
we all knew you caught… you been catching barney for a while now…
70 degrees-sunny-no wind–the best day yet for a game. 80 degrees this weekend so suntan lotion needed for snowbirds. Our sun will burn you in 2 hrs and cause misery the rest of your stay. Excitement today as possible lineup of future–Sappelt and Soler in outfield–Baez and Lake on infield. Oakland here with Billy Beane and he just wanders around during games–nobody recognizes him but just like theo he has a cell phone in his ear every minute.
Okay Mamma MIa – I’ve heard enough!!!!! I am now GREEN WITH ENVY! And you didn’t even mention that you all will be feasting on fat juicy hotdogs with ketchup and mustard and relish and onions. AAARGHH. So I will just sit here in RAINY OREGON and put my ear to the radio. Do you care? Do you care????? LOL
I like Oregon…. that was my first visit to the States
The famous Chicago dogs with peppers are good but today I will visit the vendor from Iowa with only one menu item–these handsized pork tenderloin sandwiches with pickles-onions–fries-drink for ten bucks. The farmers wife and daughter help him so the line is long but this heart stopper is worth it. Then I buy my scorecard and everybody gathers in front of this big chalkboard to get the days lineups for both teams. Attendance has been pitiful so far but should jump now that hot weather approaching. If you come ask for seats down first baseline as sun will do you in down third baseline and even behind homeplate. Scouts sit behind homeplate at very top in area reserved for them Usually about 30 guys and if you observe closely many are retired ballplayers that are not easily recognized due to age–ask professional autograph seekers wandering around and they always know who is here. Lawn tickets are a bargain and then after 5th inning or so when many people leave you can move up around infield with no problem. You can bring in a sealed bottle of water but no other refreshments. They do search bags and purses. Free parking is available about 3 blocks from HoHo and it is a pleasant walk. Parking is cheap right next to stadium but baseballs do fly over roof and your car may get hit–at least on 1st base side. Guys with those bicycle chariots will give you a ride down street for a tip to the free park areas. Before coming to game stop by Fitch and watch players work out. Kids can get tons of autographs and often a baseball–players walk right around you and you cantalk to them. Do not expect Soriano to get close to anybody because he will-not ever–not fan friendly.
Yeah I’m jealous too! -.- Lucky…
Well Belgian — Come on back to Oregon! It is a wonderful and beautiful state isn’t it. BUT baseball is in Arizona – boohoo. When the games start in Chicago I can watch on my big TV screen and it is almost like being there. Love it. It is so up-close that I can tell you what color gum the guys are chewing. HaHa.
Okay – now I know it – Mamma Mia is HEARTLESS!!!!!! While the rest of us are dining on some kind of gruel he will be munching on pork tenderloin! Is there no justice? Well, Mamma Mia, I hope it will be a winning day for the Cubs and I truly do hope you savor every bite of pork and every Cub’s run. Not to worry – I will cozy up with my dear kitty in my arms on the sofa and listen and cheer our guys on. I love the Cubs!
Mama can you go to Barney and tell him I’m his number one fan!? PLEASE!??? Tell him I love him so much and he’s the best! TELL HIM PLEASE!?…and tell Baez I love him too!
haha
Do I hear the pom-pom girl? Mamma Mia sure has alot to get done! Going to games, eating delicious pork tenderloin, and now finding Barney and Baez for Isabel! Get busy Mamma! LOL
All the cubs read Carrie mlb site and the blogs. So actually you just told them. The other side of this is Barney can be shy about praise–now Baez is a completely different story. Cub fans are in for some fun when this guy makes the bigs.
No they don’t read this! REALLY!? You better not be lying! Haha. And trust me I know how Baez is! I’ve heard what he says and how he is about winning! That’s one thing I like about him!
Haha. And Barney is a shy person, and that’s what makes him so charmimg, he’s just so sweet! LOL.
