06/19 CUBS (Marshall) @ Texas (Tejada) 7:35 pm, CSN TV

[Shilzzz]

my boy's got this

 

It has been said, but I think it bears repeating. Marshall looks really high in that picture.

 

co-sign.

 

that dude never looks un-high.

Hope Marshall's sinker is working in a ballpark like this one.

[E.J.]

When's Aramis due back?

It better be. The temperature is rising and the balls will be jumping out of here tonight.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

How long can Sean continue to give the Cobs quality starts? going for 6 in a row

[CubColtPacer]

When's Aramis due back?

 

Everything I've heard still points to him being re-activated on Friday.

[UMFan83]

Any word on who will be the DH today? Its a little ridiculous that this is our first game in an AL park this year.

 

Some choices

 

-Jones (RF) and Floyd (DH) in the lineup

-Theriot (DH), Fontenot (2B), DeRosa (3B), Izturis (SS)

-Koyie Hill © and Barrett (DH)

 

I'll go with Koyie and Barrett

 

My guess is lineup will look like:

 

Soriano, LF

Pie, CF

Lee, 1B

Floyd, RF

Barrett, DH

DeRosa, 3B

Fontenot, 2B

Theriot, SS

Hill, C

This park favors LH hitters. I bet Ward, Floyd or Jones will DH with one of Jones or Floyd in RF.

I would agree, and I really think it will probably be Ward.

Soriano

Pie

Lee

Floyd

Barrett

Ward

DeRosa

Fontenot

Theriot (or Izturis-Theriot has started 3 straight at SS, so from prior usage patterns it seems like about time for another Izturis day)

Performance enhancing drug.

[Warren Brusstar]

losing to the worst team in baseball is fun

 

Their record might be the worst, but they're probably a .500 team in the National League.

[Shilzzz]

ward will dh, i'm sure.

[CubColtPacer]

Ok, if Lou looks at this Floyd, Fontenot, Pie, Izturis, and Ward will all be in the lineup for sure tonight:

 

Robinson Tejada 2007

Against RHB- (137 AB's).248/.329/.380

Against LHB- (133 AB's).333/.408/.617 :shock:

 

Those numbers follow what he did last year as well (interestingly enough, a much smaller difference in 2005 when he was really good). This is one day where the Cubs need to load the lineup with left-handers.

Actually, it should be Floyd in RF and Ward DH'ing. That would give us the best lineup. But your point isn't lost.

[Sarcastic]

Marshall has been a little bit vulnerable to the homerun, hasn't he? I hope that doesn't get to him, but I wouldn't be surprised if he breaks his quality start streak today.

[Andy]

This is the first game Sammy has ever played against the Cubs. His pre-Cubs career was all-AL in the pre-interleague days and Baltimore did not play us in 2005.

 

Warrants mentioning.

 

Here's hoping Sammy hits 600 in this series, and hits it in a game the Cubs win handily.

[Friendly Confines]

3-0 Milwaukee in the first

 

Lincecum walked 3 straight batters

 

KC-Stl scoreless thru 1
