Uncle Lou's Lineup Party, "You Make the Call" version

For some reason, Alyssa Milano speaks only to J-Dot

Sean Marshall pitched another good game today, but the bats and the Shark (COI Idiot of the Moment) failed him and he gets the loss. Crash (My nickname for Bobby Scales from Kevin Costner in Bull Durham, I know, it's a stretch) got his first major league hit and a run and looked good in the field. Why did we keep this guy down when E-Ramis was injured? The Cubs split the series and are no longer undefeated in May. J Dot also keeps his losing streak intact.

But the news of the day was Lou's Lineup, which was missing a couple (or how about all) the usual starters (with the exception of WTP Lee, who has demoted himself to bench-like status).

So the question is:

What was Lou thinking with his Cinco de Mayo Lineup?

1. He thought that everyone that spoke Spanish or looked Latin on the team was Mexican and therefore were required by law to have the day off.

2. Hendry insists still not enough left handed hitters in the lineup and orders everyone in the lineup besides Lee to be a lefty.

3. After celebrating early for Cinco de Mayo with Matt Sinatro last night, Lou puts up a blank lineup for the players to fill in. Wanting to start an actual game, all the scrubs sign up first.

4. Since Z is on the DL, Lou lost his best pinch hitter and wanted to make sure to stack the bench, "just in case".

5. Facing the reigning Cy Young winner, Lou "forfeits" the game and plays the bench, hoping for a slaughter rule and an early start to partying.



Go Cubs!
