i am guessing that DWee will get the start tomorrow and DLee will get a day off for rest...

 

I would rather bench him tomorrow and make him start against the Mets.

[JimSorgi]

Lou just said in the postgame that Lee had some stiffness in his neck and that's why he was taken out.

 

Can't be that bad.

And tomorrow we'll hear he's having season-ending surgery.

[anabiono]

lee had some neck stiffness last season right?

Yep. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Lou is going with the same lineup tomorrow.

 

Murton says, "Hello?"

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

OK, I guess we should go with Ward at 1B. He was way better than DLee today.

 

Or maybe we shouldn't base such decisions on one game.

Um, it was a blowout, guys were gonna come out of the game, obviously.

 

If the starting lineup, ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

Better?

Better?

 

Even Neifi and Macias had good days in the lineup. That did not justify continuing to trot them out in the starting lineup on a daily basis.

Everyone in the Cubs' starting lineup today is having a substantially better season than Neifi and Macias ever did, except for Aramis, who we all know is better than he's played, and Theriot, who would probably be in there anyway.

 

I want Murton in the starting lineup too, but the way Ronny's hitting I'm fine with him in there and DeRosa in LF.

That's just the result of the totally arbitrary fact that the season is like 2-3 weeks old.

 

I'm sure Neifi was having a season that good this early at some point, too. Wasn't he tearing the cover off the ball in April 05?

 

That didn't make it a good decision to start him all the time.

 

As much as I want Ronny to start at SS over Theriot, if Theriot is firmly entrenched at SS, I'm not OK with Cedeno getting time over Murton.

 

Cliffs - Murton > Cedeno, despite my desire to have Cedeno start at SS (which will inevitably go unfulfilled for the time being)...

.368/.403/.559/.962

 

Believe it or not, but those numbers are not Albert Pujols, those are Nefti Perez's numbers in March /April of 2005. So you're right David, just because Nefti was playing "out of his mind" in April of 2005, he should not have been trotted out there everyday. But to be fair though, comparing Cedeno to Perez, IMO, is akin to comparing Albert Pujols to Chris Shelton. Not sayng Cedeno is going to be a stud like Pujols, but like Albert, he is significantly better then his comp. Which means, Cedeno should be giving a chance to prove (and so far this season he has) he is an everyday player.

[David]

Who is Meddenhall?

[David]

I mean Nefti. Who is Nefti?
