DeRosa at first too. Weird

 

I really hate Izturis in the #2 spot. I'd seriously rather see Pagan there

[C.C.]

I'm not sure about Izzy batting 2nd, but he has been hot lately.

[Bruce Miles]

And yes, Dusty is here.

[CubmanPi]

And yes, Dusty is here.

Over/under on how many minutes into the broadcast before a Dusty sticky joins Morgan and Buck in rants is set at 14.

i think there is a greater chance of dusty being boring and contributing nothing to the broadcast than there is of him being bitter or vindictive towards the Cubs on the air

The prediction is based more on the likelihood of overwhelming stupidity than it is on the possibility of being vindictive. I don't give him credit for much, but I really think he's above taking out personal issues on the Cubs, especially in such a format. At least deliberately.

yeah, dusty has consistently said good things about the cubs on espn, and even predicted them to take the central this year.

He's day-to-day. He'll probably be back in a game or two.

Izzy has been hot lately. Lets hope that continues.

[AlwaysaCub]

Bruce, we've heard just a few games off for DLee b/c of his neck. Is that what you've heard also?

[Jon]

Holy crud...

 

Marquis should be batting 6th in that lineup.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

I know Izturis has been hot, but he shouldn't be anywhere near the two spot. Murton plz

[seanimal]

FINALLY SORIANO IS NOT LEADING OFF!

[CubColtPacer]

I know Izturis has been hot, but he shouldn't be anywhere near the two spot. Murton plz

 

Murton's in the 5 spot because of his power potential. Same with Soriano at 3, and DeRosa at 6. Izturis has a better OBP than Ramirez, Jones, Floyd, Blanco, and Barrett this year-while he shouldn't be considered at all for the 2 spot on a normal day, he's probably the best 2 spot option today.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

With a LHP on the mound, you cannot bench Barrett when Lee isn't playing.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Lee had a CT scan and an MRI during his examination Monday morning. "He had some neck spasms," manager Lou Piniella said. "When it's something that's involved with your neck, we wanted to check it out really good, so we sent him back to Chicago. Nothing serious. We think he'll be here (Tuesday).

Exactly. Normally I wouldn't want Izzy batting second, but given that he appears to be on a hot streak and we don't have many better options, I don't mind this for a game or two.

Good news that he's expected back tomorrow, but I worry about the injury being around his neck.
