[C.C.]

Will we see Oswalt this series?

 

NOPE! But we will see Carlos Lee! Arh!

[otis89]

I hope we see the same dominate Ted Lilly we saw in Cincy....He said he likes it cold, so welcome to Chi-Town Ted.

 

Is this turning into a running gag? :lol:

What?

[Chocolate Milk]

I have a buddy who went to Murphy's Bleachers at 6:30am this morning. That's one step further than I'm willing to take it.

 

If I see Roast (I'll be looking for chin hair) I will loudly disparage Sammy Sosa. Maybe our respective possies will come to fist-a-cuffs.

Roast is a black belt. You sir, have no chance.

[Schwarber Fan]

Bruce, any news on the lineup?

 

I think we'll see

 

CF Soriano

RF Jones

1B Lee

3B Ramirez

LF Floyd (owns Woody)

C Barrett

2B DeRosa

SS Izturis

P Lilly

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Game-time temperature: 39°F

Feels like: 35°F

 

30% chance of Snow Flurries

 

Winds blowing out to RF at 5 mph.

I'm not as wildly opposed to Jones hitting second as everyone else here seems to be. Granted, he's not the ideal two hitter, but Soriano isn't the ideal one hitter either. Might as well give Soriano some protection with power. Besides, it should help Jacque to bat between Soriano and Lee.

Grammar. "Dominate" is a verb. "Dominant" is an adjective. The initial post used "dominate" as an adjective.

Ah yes. The cleanup hitter on what would be the current Cubs killer lineup.

It's being a "snob" to just understand basic grammar? Come on.

Murton should hit 2nd if he's playing. If he's not, I can understand Jacque there, but I'd prefer DeRosa, with Jacque hitting 7th.

 

Don't mess with what works though, I guess, and our offense was good this weekend.

[98navigator]

I just heard Floyd will hit 5th and DeRosa 7th so Jacque must be hitting 2nd.

[Banedon]

I just heard Floyd will hit 5th and DeRosa 7th so Jacque must be hitting 2nd.

 

Based on that it's probably fair to assume..

 

Soriano

Jones

Lee

Ramirez

Floyd

Barrett

Derosa

Izturis

Lilly

How do we feel about Jacque hitting 2nd? I was hoping that Murton would be our 2 hitter - ?

Murton will be our #2 hitter most of the time he's in the game. When Jacque hits #2, that's because Floyd is playing. BTW, I like Jacque in the 2 spot over some of the other options. You don't want DeRosa batting 2nd against right-handers because he is much better against left-handers than right-handers, and Jacque is probably better suited for that slot than people like Floyd, Barrett, or Izturis in this lineup.
