Besides Izturis being in there, I really like that lineup. Soriano-Pie 1-2 is something I have wanted to see for awhile (actually i wanted Pie-Soriano, but whatever).

Cubs Lineup:

 

Soriano LF

Pie CF

Lee 1B

Ramirez 3B

Barrett C

Jones RF

Derosa 2B

Izturis SS

Hill DH

 

NO THERIOT???!!!!

 

No Theriot or Murton. Get it together Lou, Hendry.

[rawaction]

Don't mind Murton NOT starting this game. Jones has killed Suppan, so Pie is basically starting instead of Murton, which I'm fine with.

[DiamondMind]

We're getting ragged on all the way from Minnesota.

Who is this Murton guy that you speak of?

That is a national article (AP). Yahoo! is running it too... But yeah, it sucks to be us.

[Shilzzz]

lineup doesn't look too bad tonight.

 

anyone heard about the wind tonight?

[NewUserName]

My excitement over Hill pitching is quickly subdued by Theriot and Murton not playing.

MLB.com says it's blowing in at 13 MPH.

[Balsa]

Is it Illini football season yet?

Boy you really are a masochist.

[Balsa]

Also, love the lineup. Let's go get 'em boys!

[ctcf]

Pretty solid lineup actually.

 

Please win.

[Derwood]

i don't love a guy hitting below the mendoza line in the #2 spot

He should be further down in the lineup. In fact, he should hit where Izturis is penciled in and Theriot should be put in place of Izturis defensively and where Pie is offensively.

 

But alas, tis not so.

I don't love free swingers who don't know how to take a walk in either the 1 or 2 spot. I hope for better when the Cubs are sold.

Dear Rich,

 

Please bring us out of hell.

 

Love,

Cubs Fans

pie at #2 just reeks of "designated bunter"

Good to hear Santo back on the broadcast - even if it is just over the phone.

thanks!

they're doing it over the phone? wonder how that's going to sound, and if it will be on time. odd.

[muntjack]

People keep asking about Murton, but it's obvious he is only going to start against left-handers. We don't have many lefties, so the ones we do have in the outfield (two of Jones, Floyd, Pie) are going to start against right-handers. I really don't think this is going to change unless we get a big left-handed bat for the infield.

[C.C.]

I think we already lost?

No...I just meant that they were checking in on him during the pregame show.

I'm pretty tone deaf, but singer sounded really flat even to me.
