Not going to happen, but a little lineup tweak would be fun.

And why are we benching DeRosa tomorrow, who just had a day off on Thursday and has been quite hot the last 8 games he's started?

plus derosa's 3 year splits against LHP are .314/.385/.509/.894.

I didnt realise this guy was a lefty.

Why would you put Edmonds into the game knowing hes a lefty, while you have him out of the lineup when you thought he was a righty?

why does this dude do anything

What the Cubs need to do is jump on Dumatrait for about 100 bajillion runs, and PRAY TO THEIR FAVE DEITY that Jason Marquis doesn't give it back the next inning.

If Marquis can give the Cubs 5 decent innings, the Cubs should win tomorrow.

Marquis usually does give us 5 good innings. The problem is, theres usually 1 horrible inning in between.

I said 5 decent innings, not 4 good ones, and a severly bad inning that cause the the Cubs to lose. :wink:

Good morning, Ladies and gentlemen. A fine game yesterday.

Ya see, this Pirates team is getting that attitude, that they can win. And, you guys are throwing Marquis today.

Even Joggin' Ronny Paulino got a hit yesterday.

The Pirates are going to come in cocky today. And, I think, they're going to back it up.

Let's Go Bucs! =D> =D>

Boy are you setting yourself up for disappointment or what?

I should never say that though when my team decides to start Jason Marquis

Id say very cocky for a team that finally eeked out a win on their 11th try.

I always say confidence can be backed up, cockiness gets beat up.

Memo to Jake.......

Who put the 1 in Marquis (1-3) ???

Freaking Marquis.

We're gonna get trashed.

Good thing the only thing holding them back was a winning attitude.

SouthSideRyan · May 18, 2008

Man, everyone loved Jake before the Pirates won a game. Settle down everyone.

On BTF, Phil Dumatrait's nickname is "The worst pitcher in the history of baseball" This game should be what the Estes/Marquis game was supposed to be.

Well, you're right that he won't allow a single run tomorrow. Not sure why Jake would care though - the Cubs are in Houston.

Cedeno 2nd and at SS, eh?

Good to see Riot get a day off - for all the Cubs' talk of 'he broke down at the end of the season' they didn't seem very concerned with playing him too much to this point.

Transmogrified Tiger · May 18, 2008

This is Theriot's first game off since April 22

I like Cedeno batting 2nd seems like Lou has a little bit more confidence in Ronny's bat now

CubColtPacer · May 18, 2008

I would have liked to have waited until the next right-hander on the mound to sit Theriot for Cedeno, but he did need a day off. Theriot shouldn't really start more than 145 games in a season. He should get a day off every 10 days or so.
