WSCR is reporting that DLee is not in the lineup today (fouled a ball off his leg yesterday) -- Ward will start @ 1B.

My buddy just told me that he heard that DLEE and RAM are both out of the lineup today.

With Z on the mound they can probably handle that but my guess is that Aramis just had a scheduled offday and maybe will play now that Lee is out.

[Soul]

That will suck if both Lee & ARam are out.

[CubmanPi]

No Lee, Ramirez, or Bonds, and two pitchers with an ERA in the 3's. I think one run might be enough today.

Daryle Ward will hit 11 home runs today

Last nights win was on me guys! I wore my bad luck Cub shirt. Everytime I've worn this shirt they've lost. I was trying to prove I wan't supersuperstitious...Did't work! I tore it up and threw it in the trash...Let the gods show the shirt is no more, and bless the Cubs

 

You're fired. I'll have to counter with my oddly lucky Billy Goat Tavern t-shirt and #16 Alternate Blue jersey (no name) combo.

[DurbanJer]

Bonds is not starting in this game either. What a pansy ass

 

San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds, kept out of the starting lineup for a second consecutive day Tuesday, was told he'll be rested more frequently, including Wednesday's afternoon game against the Chicago Cubs, slowing his chase

Bonds is afraid of LF bleacher bums. Book it.

[Brian]

the lineup very well could have Pagan, Jones, Hill and Izturis. Good thing Zambrano has at least a chance at a hit or two.

DLee is listed in the injuries section on Sportsline's preview as "suspension". Does that mean he's going to start serving it?

 

Who are we playing in the next week or so?

Yep! ESPN 1000 said (per a friend) that he started serving it today...

No, ESPN 1000 said that if the injury is severe enough, he will then drop the suspension. He has not dropped it yet.

I must admit that I too contributed to the loss yesterday as I did something I shouldn't have done (I will not thrill nor bore you with the details). Suffice it to say, I have it on good authority that it will not carry over for more than the one game as is evidenced by the latest MountOlympusSecretWebCam.com pic shows:

Thanks.

Lineups are up on Gameday.....forfeit lineup. No Lee, No Ramirez.

For a forfeit lineup, that's not too terrible. Should be enough to win against the Bonds-less Giants anyway.

[salukifudd]

Does anybody else feel a couple infield errors coming today?

Considering we're facing the Giants best starter, I'm not quite sure that's good enough.
