Still no E-Patt.

I guess I missed it, but how long is Ramirez supposed to be out?

He is supposed to come back either Sunday or Tuesday.

Should most likely be available to start game 1 of the reds series on Tuesday, outside shot he can play Sunday.

Oh okay, well that's encouraging I guess. Is he available to pinch hit?

[Brian]

I really don't like Taveras, he's one of those guys that thrives against the Cubs (yeah who doesn't), I wouldn't be surprised to see him go 5/5 all on bunts.

I doubt it. The wrist gets sore because of how he hits, so they probably don't want him doing that until he's ready to come back.

I like the experiment of jones in the 2 hole with soriano out and theriot in the lead off. I Hope Jones keeps up his production.

Kind of what I figured. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!

I know they won big last night, but jeezum crow that's an ugly lineup.

I was just thinking a few minutes ago that Colorado is probably the best location for this non-power lineup. The humidor slows down the home run power of each team, but there's still a lot of space out there for slap hitters to hit and use their speed, which is what this particular lineup wants to do.

I'd still rather have the power in the lineup, but Colorado is probably the best spot in the NL to have to have this type of lineup, so the lineup is not as ugly as it usually would be.

I love how one day, Murton isn't even good enough to be a big-league benchwarmer, and two weeks later, he's batting cleanup for us.

Marquis almost = an automatic loss these days. Lets hope Carlos Lee can be Brewers killer in Houston!

Yeah, except he's not. Since the beginning of June, the Cubs are 7-4 when Marquis starts.

 

And 200+ posts in two days? Wow.

Surprised to see no Floyd given that he has good numbers against Cook.

I am not surprised since he's terrible :) The past few times Floyd has "stacked up" against a pitcher he swings like he has a blindfold on.

I'm shocked. Regardless of whether he should or not, I expect Floyd to play at least five of every seven games or so.

I once posted 250 times in a single game thread. And I have been here since 2003 and still have less than 8000 posts.
