It’s player’s weekend, as the Cubs welcome the Washington Nationals to Chicago, and the lineup has some serious style.
Chicago Cubs Lineup:
- J-Hey, CF
- Artist, RF
- KB, 3B
- Tony, 1B
- El Mago, 1B
- Schwarbs, LF
- Luc, C
- Chieng, 2B
- Lefthander, P
In case you can’t figure out the nicknames (Whoever could “KB” be?), the order goes Heyward, Castellanos, Bryant, Rizzo, Baez, Schwarber, Lucroy, Kemp, and Jon Lester. While some guys nicknames are extremely obvious (almost to a boring extent, like Schwarbs), other guys, like “Chieng,” are borderline too cryptic to understand … unless I’m being dense.
In any case, that’s the group this afternoon against the Nationals, as the Cubs look to extend their winning streak to six. As usual, we’ll have your full Pre-Gamin’ post closer to game time (1:20 CT).
