I’m watching the game and took the day off. I’m going to blog my random thoughts.
First, the lineup:
Al Contra 3B (interestingly)
Coghlan LF (looking behind his shoulder at Bryant/Lake)
Castro SS
Soler RF
Bryant DH (nursing shoulder soreness)
Sweeney CF (battling for a suddenly crowded outfield)
Castillo C (auditioning for the Padres)
O/ 1B (auditioning for 3 weeks of 3B)
Valaika 2B (holding on for dear life as a UTIL)
Jon Lester SP
First Cuts
Rafa Lopez
Christian Villanueva
Donn Roach
Armando Rivero (slight surprise)
Corey Black
Pierce Johnson
Hunter Cervenka
Logan Watkins (injured – procedural)
Will the Cubs Win?
Who cares.
