Remember when we didn't suck?

Getting Soriano back is really going to help us, but the three black holes in the lineup right now are inexcusable. Ramirez, Lee, and Soto I'm looking at you.

 

The problem could solve its self if Soriano wouldnt be such a about it and bat in the heart of the lineup.

 

how would that make ramirez, lee and soto hit better?

 

It would make the lineup better in general.

 

Theriot

Fontenot vs. RHP/Johnson vs. LHP

Lee

Soriano

Ramirez

Fukudome

Soto

Edmonds vs. RHP/DeRosa vs. LHP

Pitcher

 

That lineup would produce ridiculous amounts of runs, especually when Lee, Ramirez, and Soto decide to play again

 

i think the key to that would be lee, ramirez and soto deciding to play again. where soriano bats really doesn't matter.

i still think the Cubs win the division.

 

Ditto.

 

Im fairly confident that we'll make the playoffs one way or another, but it will be a rocky road, and we wont coast as we once thought we would. However, once we get there, I feel that we can dominate. Zambrano and Harden can hang with any 1-2 in the league, and not too many NL teams have a 3-4 that can answer to Dempster and Lilly. We just have to hope that we can get homfield advantage for the 2 NL series'.

 

If they do win the pennant they better learn how to win on the road. Thanks to Selig...

It's the bane of our existence that will follow us through the entire season. Don't need to be great on the road, but being this bad really hurts.

Minor off topic rant, but I get really tired hearing about how we potentially are getting screwed out of homefield advantage because of the All-Star Game nonsense. The thing that always seems to be forgotten is that best record was never used to determine homefield advantage. Homefield advantage alternated between the National League and American League winner. The last time it was done in this format was 2002 and it was the American League's turn, which means that if Selig had left things the way they were the Cubs, or rather I should say National League winner, still wouldn't have gotten homefield advantage no matter what the records of the teams involved. Sorry had to say it because I got tired hearing the same old arguments after the All-Star Game about it, and this was just starting to take on the feel of the Cubs getting screwed out of homefield advantage in the '84 NLCS myth.

The Cubs sure do suck on the road.

[SouthSideRyan]

Could anybody tell me who has the best record in the NL?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The Cubs

 

 

The answer's The Cubs.
