The Hangover Lineup

The Cubs clinched the Central Division title on Wednesday.  On Thursday, their lineup was, shall we say, interesting.

As is typical for a day after clinching game, none of the regulars started.  Instead, it was four catchers and a few other guys.

You know that the lineup is not very good when only one of the eight position players has an actual Topps card, not one of my homemade jobs.  That also tells you how Schwarber has fallen off, seeing that he is starting.

  1. But, they got the W! I was happy to see Tseng pitch well and that last play of the game was pretty exciting!

  3. We only watch the over-the-air games, so most of these fellas were new to us. I have to say, they played much better than I expected. I think the bewitching that is Hendricks is back!
