No way, not again. I can't watch the Reds with Patterson leading off anymore.

He went away from it for a couple days but, with any good junkie, you never bet against the backslide.
“The crows seem to be calling my name,” thought Caw.
Yes, let's move Dunn further down in the lineup. That's brilliant.
Even I made better lineups than that when I was manager.
Right about now it doesn't matter where Dunn hits he's crap at the plate right now. I have to agree though patterson is like bad re runs they show on tv during the day. We've seen it all a million times and it's still bad everytime we tune in. When will dusty ever change the channel.
So far I've tried to overlook the lineups, because, quite frankly, I didn't think it mattered with this offense; but MY GOD, I can't take Patterson starting and leading off anymore. The only thing is, there aren't many better options.
Harang is starting tonight boys, it really doesn't matter where we put them in the lineup, they are taking tonight off.
I made better lineups than that in my nightmares.
I did have one bad night of sleep though when my nightmare got out of control and the lineup looked like this:
Patterson

Yes there are other options. Like ANYONE else on this team leading off. Dusty has Kepp back in the right spot but Dunn and EE where they are is stupid. Dunn is struggling but his OBP is still near .400. He should never bat anywhere other that 2nd or 3rd. Ever. BP should never bat cleanup unless it's against a lefty and Jr. should not be 3rd. Bako remains hot so bat him 7th and CP 8th. Actually CP should not even be on the team.
Maybe the Cubs would just take back Baker and CP. For nothing. Or maybe we can throw in Josh Fogg.
