The Cubs have begun the season with 3 very good starts from Ryan Dempster, Matt Garza and even Jeff Samardzija. It's hard to believe, but Samardzija's was the most impressive of all of them. Chris Volstad gets the ball tonight against the Shaun Marcum and the Brewers.
Brewers Lineup
- Rickie Weeks, 2B
- Nyjer Morgan, CF
- Ryan Braun, LF
- Aramis Ramirez, 3B
- Corey Hart, RF
- Mat Gamel, 1B
- Alex Gonzalez, SS
- Jonathan Lucroy, C
- Shaun Marcum, P
Cubs Lineup
- David DeJesus, RF
- Darwin Barney, 2B
- Starlin Castro, SS
- Alfonso Soriano, LF
- Ian Stewart, 3B
- Bryan LaHair, 1B
- Geovany Soto, C
- Marlon Byrd, CF
- Chris Volstad, P
I'd really like to know what the hell Barney is doing batting 2nd against a right handed batter.

Zach Cates (the other guy in the Cashner trade) is going tonight for Daytona. He’s one of the cross your fingers and hopes he breaks out SP prospects we have this year. Travis Wood tries to get back on track in Iowa and thats pretty much it.

also, according to AZ Phil the big $ Cuban we signed threw 3 shutout innings and looked good doing it in AZ. He has now been added to the Daytona roster. Robert Whitenack made his first apperance since last years TJ and threw 1 inning.

Good to see Whitenack throwing. We’ve gotten tens of hits in the past week or two with people looking for Whitenack info.

Nice to hear Whitenack is throwing again.
WTH is Barney doing that high in the order vs. a RHP? Or in the order, period, vs. a RHP? Too much transformation to languish on the bench?

When your four best hitters all have projected wOBAs in the .330s, it becomes more of a moot point (dying laughing). And the alternative is Blake DeWitt at 2b, if his back is okay.

I say we bitch more and more about how incompetent all Cubs are, so they can repeatedly prove us wrong, and therefore the team will win the World Series.
Next topic has to be how useless the back end of the bullpen is. Absolutely useless. No talent whatsoever. We’ll be lucky to get 15 saves and 20 holds collectively. The sample size so far this year is absolutely instructive.
