Is Lou really Ditka?

[CoolHandLuke]

That lineup is about as good as I had hoped for! I wish tomorrow's game would be televised :(

[Balsa]

PS. That lineup is perfect!

[Tracer Bullet]

Our 5 best hitters all together at the top of the order?!? Amazing.

 

Cubs baseball can't get here soon enough.

[PrimeTime]

Murton in 2 hole! Izturis 8 where he belongs!

I sincerely hope that's the opening day line-up with the exception of Marquis pitching!

 

Go Cubs.

Go Cubs.

 

I think this might be the standard lineup against left-handers-I'm interested to know now what Lou has up his sleeve against right-handers (my guess is that right-handers will have a lot more variation in it depending on if Jones and Floyd are playing together, or if Murton and Floyd/Jones is playing).

Oh, what joy it is to see a Cubs lineup without Neifi!

[rawaction]

Cubs are gonna score 3 in the first inning off of Zito.

 

BOOK IT!

[Balsa]

Fearless prediction:

Soriano starts off with a double, Murton walks, DLee homerun.

[Chris]

The Cubs will score 34 runs before making an out and Lou will still figure out a way to get ejected to enjoy the rest of the day off

[Chris]

BOOK IT!

[Bull]

I'm excited that not only is Murt batting 2nd, but he's batting second with DeRosa and Itzy in the line-up.

If I have Game Day Audio, do I get spring training games? It automatically renews, correct? Edited February 28, 2007 by woodchip2153

Man I love baseball. This is the point in the season when we can be optimistic.
